Good to see closely targeted advertising towards your readers, I'm sure your click through rates are particularly high on this one.

You do know a lot of ads are delivered based on what you've been looking at previously, don't you?

As above, these will be targetted using an ad network on what they know about you and others with a similar profile...

Yup, it's down to cookies left on your computer.

Example - 3 days ago I was Googling for storage companies in Edinburgh. Today, I've had nothing but Big Yellow Storage ads.

Example 2 - one of my clients is LuckyVitamin.com. I get their ads all over YouTube and occasionally here too.

It's your fault, OP Might not be the exact company, but you (or someone using your computer and login) has definitely been visiting related sites.

The title has a certain irony; considering ads are served on user profiling

Fail?

No, but there are adverts on PH.

How bizarre, I pretty much only ever look at car websites, facebook, linkedin and property websites on my work computer.

But hey, I'm open minded and open to alternative income streams. Perhaps I should give it ago.
