> (Anyone who runs ads on Google — for any purpose — can see this kind of data about who clicks their ads.) This is total bogus. You don't see that kind of data in google ads. If there are enough clicks on your ad you see a rough demographic like rough areas, gender, rough age. They dont't just handover your browsing history. That and the fact that the article uses korean letters to avoid spam filters just looks fishy.

You can't in Google ads that's correct. There are plenty of 3rd party analytics services though that will get you that info once someone has clicked to your page. The integrity of that data though is up for debate and often times inaccurate. So basically, yes, but not really and Google ads isn't the one doing it.

It is misrepresented but his screenshot is accurate. Hes showing queries that matched to his ads, which are actual searches by users. It isn't any sort of browsing history/etc, just a comparison of the words users actually typed in compared to the keywords hes bidding on. Its used to find new keywords to bid on or improve performance.

  "Misrepresented" is kind of an understatement. He is straight up lying. Seeing the search query compared to having ones adress, real name, kids and browsing history is quite the difference. One gives you enough data to see what results your adwords hit on, the other is enough for a psycholgical profile. Adding to that he seems to copy paste this article with different subjects, as noted by another comment here, this post is just a scummy SEO post

    He doesn't claim he gets it all from Google though. >Ad click data is in aggregate. Google doesn’t provide marketers like me with your personal identifiers. This means that even with all of the data we get when you click, Google will never provide us with your name, email, or phone number. >But there’s an easy way around this: through a call-tracking software that anyone buying Google Ads can use. It’s called Callrail and costs only $45 a month. >By syncing Google Ads with Callrail, your name and address is tied to your click (and all your other data) when you conduct a certain action on a website that an ad directs to. (Clicking a phone number on the website, for example). >Callrail provides marketers the data that Google would never dare to.

      Ah that slipped my mind. Yeah that just looks like a ad now

Yeah, it's not explained at all in the article how they are getting that kind of data out of google and linking it to a phone number/address. I've certainly never seen anyones browsing history on the analytics I have set up on my blog.

  He does explain it. He says he uses something called "Callrail": > By syncing Google Ads with Callrail, your name and address is tied to your click (and all your other data) when you conduct a certain action on a website that an ad directs to. (Clicking a phone number on the website, for example). And he says he uses Squarespace to add additional data: > Callrail provides marketers the data that Google would never dare to. Yet Callrail still withholds your IP address (exact location) from us. > But there’s also an easy way around this: through a website-building software called Squarespace, which costs $12 a month. > By directing your click to a Squarespace website that uses a Callrail forwarding number, we can see your precise location, including your home address. I have no idea if any of this works as advertised, but he does explain it.
