Some banner ads are not your fitness "pals"

it's whatever you search for lots that appears in the ads. it caters to your interests.

I'm going to debate that one, big time! I have NEVER searched for glazed donuts, but I was greeting with a huge one on the left side of my yahoo mail today.

that's yahoo. what does that have to do with MFP? MFP has google sponsored ads which does pull in searches. I have no idea what yahoo does for it's ads.

I get ads on here for my company i work for and anything to do with weight loss because that what encompasses most of my google searches.

I would guess that Yahoo and Google ads work the same. It's not like they are in completely different lines of work. Just because the add pops up doesn't mean the person has been searching for it. Sometimes it's just an add we all get.

I have an ad right now for Toyota. So I know what my hubbie was looking at. :laugh: Car porn!
