I got this:

“We have strong indicators that http://www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com is written by a man (99%).”

I guess I am the manliest blogger out there
But I already knew that the majority of my audience is male, 35 and older making a lot of money, looking to invest in promising dividend companies..

Unfortunately they only analyze blogs in English, and mine is in Portuguese. Pity, though, or I guess mine would be something like 95% woman-like.

This is pretty fun. I am apparently 77% man. I don’t think I have a readership of any kind so I couldn’t really say if there is any correlation.

That’s funny. I scored 51% woman, however it stated my site was quite gender neutral. Despite my unusual name, I am, in fact, a man, but my manhood won’t suffer for the ranking.

It looks like there are some bugs still to be worked out in the software.

I’m 65% man at Tight Fisted Miser and 76% man at Bank Bonuses. I guess banks are more manly than frugality. TFM has a predominant female readership and BB has a predominant male readership.

Apparently my blog is 83% man-like. I’m not sure if that has any significance.

I suspect the choice of topics, specifically certain words, has a lot to do with the training of the network and the outcome of the guess. (See tomorrows post for more on outcomes).

Hmmm, I’m not sure I like that! Not that there’s anything wrong with being a man, but I figured my “voice” matched my gender. (Maybe voice and writing style aren’t totally correlated, huh?)

I don’t know the predominant gender of my readership, but my commenters are predominantly women, so I always assumed that reflected the general makeup.
