    ads are based on your recent search history.

    Current ads are for vaseline, aleve, and subaru's, haven't searched for any of those ever. I have seen some ads that come close to some of my recent searches, but most of them are way out of left field. I also saw the OPI protein bar one earlier.

    Or you clicked on a thread here that mentioned protein bars? From my understanding these things are more sophisticated than they used to be. I like my *avocado* blocker.

    Use an ad blocker? I've never seen ads on here.

    You can target multiple ways: Audience, Contextually, Category, Behaviorally, Geographically, Topic, Retargeting, Local Content, Premium News, etc.

    Heh, I never actually notice the ads. I am so used to tuning out visual clutter online that I couldn't tell you what they have been showing me. Maybe I spent too much time on the internet...

    I have Aleve currently, but for many days recently it's been the cat treadmill. Made me laugh every time. What self-respecting cat would run on a treadmill?

    But it sounds like you could have a lot of fun in the back seat.

    Before rhis site was bought out it didn't have rhis stuff. Now you get the ads and have a pay to play premium account. Not sure if premium is better or not. But it changed once it changed hands
