    There are programs you can download to block them if they really bother you that much. Mine are usually video games and technology ads, lol.

    Yeah it can be a little bothersome, but I don't mind it all that much. I'd rather there be ads than a fee, since if there were a fee I'd deactivate my account in a heartbeat. I'm used to the ads since honestly any website you go on these days has them- Facebook, twitter, youtube- you name it- they all have ridiculous ads! Supposedly they come up based on what you've searched and websites you've been to on the internet previously. I was planning a vacation recently so my ads are all for hotels and visiting Florida etc.

    I have Ricki's ads (women's clothing store) and Air Canada both of which I have searched here! I also get lots of dog food and weight loss ads.

    That's a great offer at mcD's though :)

    Its brilliant. I have gone to McDonald's many times after seeing those ads.

    srsly
    On the other hand, that really is a great deal on Quarter Pounders.

    hey gaiz
    On a side note: when will these .25 big macs be a thing?

    SRSLY
    What!? .25 cent burgers at McD's???? This is the best news ever!

    It's through Google AdWords...I should make a guide on it, because there are MANY reasons why you are seeing the ads that you see, and they don't all have to do with your search history.

    I have NO ads. Is that because I use DoNotTrackMe? It does work!

    Never saw any food ads on mfp aside from companies advertising weight loss programs or "5 bad foods to eat".

    Perhaps you have something like AdBlock Plus? Ads would still show up even if you were browsing anonymously - they would just be focused on the content of the page rather than your browsing habits.
