At work, this site pops up as an unsafe site.

 

And when I access it on my phone, weird stuff pops up if I am on for any decent amount of time.

I think we're getting a good idea of what you do on the weekends given the ad choices...

I don't get ads for women's clothes or shoes either.   Still the occasional mail-order bride.

Is anyone else getting ads mostly for women's clothing? Like, all the time?

What I am getting is something that forces a scroll to the bottom of the page. Constantly. On iPad Safari.

See, that doesn't happen to me but very rarely, and I'm using my iPad when I'm on TD 75% of the time.

I only get those while playing solitaire on my phone.

Seriously considering tracking my ads on various sites now. I am kind of fascinated.

 

Now getting Harry's razors ads. Is there any way that is related to getting an email from dollar shave that my order shipped?

My understanding is that they can track your search behaviors with cookies.  As an example, if I start shopping around for running shoes or electronic devices, the ads will change almost immediately to highlight those items... usually too late, but I'm guessing it's tracking cookies they are keying off of. That's something Brock could answer better than myself. I'm more infrastructure/security. He's a web developer.

Via snail mail, yes. It started around when I got married. The sysadmin still hasn't tracked down the cause.

I really wonder who is on the other end of these ads. I mean, I'm now getting ads for CA technologies ... I mean ... wth is that? Me getting any kind of technology ads is really funny. Also getting ads for xfinity and 1800flowers. Oh, and there's PayPal at the bottom of the thread. Hmm.

I just scored myself another fantasic russian bride, albeit on the office computer.

 

 

Makes you wonder what the office lady is doing in here during the day.  ;)

Makes me wonder what any of us is doing during the day, night, and other.

 

Actually, it doesn't ... I don't wanna know.

Remember when one of the ad boxes here was a quiz? That was fun. Now that small talk is over, can you share your google history so I can score a mail order bride?

Maybe you are getting my ads, and I'm getting your ads?

I prefer to believe that each of us has secret lives to those around us but not to those who monitor our computers. Uh, wait a minute ... is my microwave turned off?

Today I still have the flowers, but the others are all different ... Allstate, Spectrum internet, Nissan, American Red Cross ... interesting as I have not done any 'internetting' on insurance, internet, cars or donations. And, further, I don't use Allstage or Spectrum internet, don't drive a Nissan and never have, nor do I donate to the Red Cross. Oh, and I go to a local flower shop when I want to send flowers.

It's always nice to plan ahead in life, but this ad I'm seeing for senior citizen independent living may be outside of my demographic....
