Take a look at the ad at the bottom of VR.
Have you noticed that it's vaguely relevant to your interests? I noticed it a whole lot these days. It seems like that Google tracks a lot of stuff via the ads. It's like the ads know who I am, and where I've been.
Most of the stuff has to do with Nokia Lumias, web fonts, hosting, meetings, and... uh, Pokémon? Whatever it is, it does not matter what site I'm on these days. Anyone getting creeped by Google ads? |

I doubt it. The ad is irrelevant to my interest, whatsoever.

This will probably show what ad preferences that Google thinks you have. Might be a good idea to check this out. |

It's taken all my time in the Roleplaying board to decide that I like roleplaying games, and it's presumably taken all my time in reddit's SFW Porn Network to decide that I'm age 18-24.

 I have been spending some time on a trading website for Team Fortress 2 items. ... Since when has TF2 trading been a big business? |

I'll say something right now: I'm not sure about the relevance of the Google ads on VR, but when I occasionally look around for something on Amazon, I'll see an Amazon ad on Youtube that features almost the exact items I was just searching around for.

Makes sense Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation - Anime & Manga Makes ALOT of sense Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation - Comics Makes PERFECT sense Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Urban & Hip-Hop - Rap & Hip-Hop Makes no sense considering I don't listen to any. Computers & Electronics - Consumer Electronics - Gadgets & Portable Electronics - PDAs & Handhelds Like, every single day. Games Maybe  Games - Computer & Video Games Definitely Games - Computer & Video Games - Fighting Games Can't play them, but yeah. Games - Computer & Video Games - Shooter Games Yeaaaahhh...no. Games - Online Games Oh to the gods, not really. Online Communities I guess Advertisement: Chevy Silverado something or whatever I can't drive and really have no interest in driving. |

 Probably doesn't help that I posted about Android less then 15 minutes ago. I'd say this is pretty accurate. Last edited by DashArmy; May 19, 2012 at 10:54:35 AM. |

I got an ad for an antivirus software that looks kinda shady.
I refuse to use antivirus because I don't need it and it takes up too much system resources. |

Computers & Electronics - Consumer Electronics - Game Systems & Consoles - Nintendo BANG on! Games - Computer & Video Games Same as above Online Communities - Photo & Video Sharing Sorta, but not really. Online Communities - Social Networks Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus.

Hang on lemme finish this picture. xD Yes I agree totally with this one Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation Both of those right ^_^ Arts & Entertainment - Comics & Animation - Anime & Manga Ooh, I like that too Arts & Entertainment - Fun & Trivia Of course I'm going to look this up. Arts & Entertainment - Movies I actually dislike movies Arts & Entertainment - Movies - Movie Reference Wait that's a category? Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Country Music I dislike country music tbh. Arts & Entertainment - Visual Art & Design I guess so Arts & Entertainment - Visual Art & Design - Arts Education Heehee, nothing wrong with me looking up art Games Mother Games <3 Games - Computer & Video Games As long as it's Pokemon, Kirby or Mother Related then yes Games - Computer & Video Games - Driving & Racing Games I'm too old to drive. Games - Computer & Video Games - Fighting Games Hmm... If Pokemon, Kirby and Mother are fighting games then yes. Games - Computer & Video Games - Gaming Media & Reference - Game Cheats & Hints I am the complete opposite actually. I prefer not to cheat in games. Games - Computer & Video Games - Shooter Games This is wrong for so many reasons. I am all out against blood, but then again my brother will occasionally come onto my laptop to use it. Games - Online Games - Massive Multiplayer Once again, my brother. Jobs & Education - Education - Colleges & Universities I wanna go to anime college when I'm older ;_; Online Communities - Social Networks It really irritates me when my mom insists on using my account when I made her one Pets & Animals - Animal Products & Services - Veterinarians Wait wat |

Now they're trying to offer me customized flash drives... Usually there's a WoW ad there, but I guess they've given up on me for that. I don't play WoW, that'd be my best friend.
