    The ads are loosely based on what you type.
    If you have recently looked up the calorie content of something from there, for example, they log that and show you those ads. When I was looking at hotels on google for a trip I got TONS of hotel ads. I get Subaru and Jeep stuff too since those are what I have and I type it a lot for various reasons.

    The ads are mainly generated from what YOU are writing about/in-putting or where you have come from (say someone else is writing about "that thing" in their post. It is a "spider" search engine and will pull out key words or phrases and pull up an ad that matches that key word or phrase...like Google. Sooo, if you don't like the "food" ads, maybe you need to change what you are eating/putting in your Diary or notice where you visit or Google.

    Human Resources Degree: Let's see what you get...LOL
