So I was just browsing the forums a second ago when I noticed something odd in the adverts, which are usually just TGC products...

See the pic attached for what I'm talking about... but seriously, that made me laugh.

I think they base ads on what you search for most, because most ads i see ANYWHERE are about art design and programming.

hmm..... I wonder what you've been searching?

I thought it was based on the page text. It can't be based on what you search for most or I'd be seeing a lot of VB Code/Microsoft ads. LOL

Lol, I hardly do any searches. When I do, it's actually about C/C++ lines that make absolutely NO sense. That or old games I played as a kid.

I think the ad source is just under the impression that we're all lonely here.

Surely google ads have picked up on what you've been searching on your own computer.

Usually the ads that are shown, take the information from the cookies on your system and show the most relevant ads. So basically, if you see weird ads like the OP's, then you most likely have been to a similar site at some point.

gotta love those filps...

I'm just messing with you, but I have noticed some of these ads seem to be locked onto certain websites (at least ones that aren't from google ads) These seemed to be part of the webpage(after numerous refreshes)
