It was doing that to me too the first few times I logged in here. Someone pointed out to me that these are "behavioral targeting" ads that are tailored to each user based on their past browsing history. It made sense to me since I order pizza online from Dominoes
Once you change your browsing habits, those ads will change too.

Quick look up....liver :laugh:0 -
My guess is that you've ordered a lot it.
The ads you get are generally a reflection of what you search, discuss and buy.
I bought a car a year ago and am still getting car ads, usually from one company. That company doesn't give up, lol.
I looked up how to make a certain illegal drug in your house because I was watching Breaking Bad and there was talk on TV about how the instructions to make it were all over the Internet. I got rehab ads for months, lol.0 -
Right?
Why do I keep getting these ads for hot single Asian women in my area?!0 -
uh oh porn banners are going to come up on mine :noway:0

You need to get an add blocker, it makes the internet a much nicer place!0

Darn. I got Flinstones vitamins. I want pizza.0

I guess I have ordered a fair bit in the past.... now my secret is out!0

I used to send emails to my extremely preachy vegan co worker with white text mentioning steaks, fried chicken, bbq etc. She just stopped using internet at work because she thought the internet was bullying her since all she saw were adds about meat0

I don't get it. The website is what we're all talking about....? Am I missing something?0 -
Nope, nevermind, I forgot I had ABP installed. I don't get ads anywhere.0

Mine for the longest time was Christian dating, now it's wedding dresses and plus sized clothing.0

I would rather see pizza ads than the one from the Michigan Department of Community Health about gambling addictions that keep popping up when I'm on here. If I accidentally put my cursor over the ad it expands and starts playing a video.0

AdBlocker is your friend. I haven't seen an ad on this site since my first day. They still know what I look at/search I suppose, but at least I don't have to KNOW that they know...most of the time.:ohwell:0

I get bank ads, amazon, and hotels. I was searching for hotels for my job and now all the ads I see are advertising hotels.0

lol I just got one from Domino's that says "give in to your cravings now!" not sure what this is a reflection of...my browser history shows I give into cravings or that I love pizza...both of which tend to be true!!! haha0
