Have You Guys Ever Noticed!

final5-0 · May 16, 2011

Ever noticed how the ads to the right side of the page seem to be all
about the things you've been recently searching for

I ain't paranoid or nothin

BUT

It kinda makes me feel a bit uneasy

i run ad blocker pro on firefox...

I think what your experiencing is: AdSense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ads are based on topics and key words. They are suposed to be like that.

I don't like it... seems like I am being stalked!!

i've seen other ads that are coincidentally for things discussed in the thread. i'm sure that is by design.

still sorta spooky though

I noticed that a few weeks ago, but wasn't sure if it was just coincidence or paranoia?

Right now there are 2 ads for sites I have been on recently. I don't mind, they gotta pay for the site, right?

revhead347 · May 17, 2011

The topic came up before. I'm pretty sure it's based on the content of the thread more than anything. Either way, small price to pay for free use of this website.

Funny...I just figured that out last week when looking for new exhaust for my bike...everywhere I went I was getting exhaust ads....

But why is it that when searching E-**** it still shows mustang parts when I visit here?

Ha, mine are all Vegas adds for New York, New York. Its starting to bum me out, cause I got back a couple weeks ago.

I use Firefox with the adblock at home...they keep deleting firefox at work.

e-mail works the same way, they sell addresses based on what you have searched for or recentely purchased, of course most of it ends up in your spam folder.Google has it all figured out.

My antivirus wouldn't load the page due to the ads on the right. Stated there could be malicious code in the ads which in short translates to cookies being used to track your web activity

Not a huge deal.. but that is why the ads correspond to your searches
