Site Ads - What's going on?

[Neurobit]

I understand having ads to pay bills, but why in the world is such a large number of them not relevant to this site's audience?
Every other ad I get is totally not related to anything myself or 99% of the folks here would ever buy.

Hahahaha, I don't get these ads, have you been browsing online for Christmas gifts for a woman, sometimes ads are catered to your search patterns.

We had this happen before with a member. He was very angry about the enhancer adds he was getting. We explained that it used the searches from his search engine. We didn't hear back.

I would assume the ads still use cookies or what not to generate them.

So...was someone else searching for underwear with your search engine?

Site ads on any site are based off of your search habits and nothing to do with the website. If you’re seeing ads that have no relation to your search habits, it could be because you block cookies or opted out of relevant ads. I always opt out and block so the ads I see are never relevant. To be honest, I like it that way. I don’t need to see ads about products I already know about that they are trying to wear on my sub-conscious that I need to buy it. I’d rather see ads about products I am not aware of.

I already knew this. That's why it is so mind boggling that the algorithm is so screwed up lately and wondering if anyone else was seeing this.

If you don't like that, go shop at redwing boots or etrailer and you'll get a bunch of their ads.
