what does google say?

Postby quickbeard » Thu Jan 02, 2014 8:26 am

When I look up something, say a lamp shade, I find ads for lamp shades on my web pages for the next two weeks. Just out of curiosity, what kind of ads appear for those of you who mine the web for gems and nuggets of quicksand lore?

Thanks
QB

For me, those are mostly YouTube videos, virtually all of which I have seen before.

(Well, I block adds, so Google has not many options with me. Just YouTube)
There’s so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

The same thing happens to me on Facebook. I bought an external hard drive at Tiger Direct, and for the next few weeks I kept seeing ads from them trying to sell me another one. Just the other day, I was looking into a pair of wireless headphones- and guess what?

On YouTube, I see ads for mud/QS videos, most of which I have also seen.
