    I remember that i used to get some completely unrelevant pages like that, especially when my site was unheard of.

    I belive that the pages thought google was similar to mine were either the ones that linked to me or the ones i linked to. I'm looking right now an i notice that a lot of similar pages are some of my own pages or some website i linked twice from my links page.... There's also some sites with a higher pr that link to me

    If you think that google does some keyword comparison: forget it! I see in the list of sites similar to me (puzzles) a lawyer wesite and a fitness website. Probabily no match in keywords whatsoever.....

    I don't know exactly how this works, but i'm pretty sure that it remains an ureliable tool :)))))

    I just checked it with my site and I actually get relevent results except one site??? None seem to be sites that I link to or link to me. Most also don't seem to be sites that come up in the top in SERPS I monitor either so I have no idea how they determine what is similar??? Anyone else have any ideas?

    It usually shows some of sites linked from pages linking to searched site. (2 click away)

    That seems to be most of the results I get as well.
