Meaning they are related to things you've recently searched / googled.

Is Google trying to tell me something? This is worse than a Viagra ad.

Exactly!

I'm only 55, much too young to know about that sort of stuff.

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

The bulk are through: http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead or http://a.adroll.com. As I recall Wayne uses Google (as in no privacy) for a lot of his web stuff.

those targeted adds are effective. They are always trying to sell me tires tools and used cars, even pelican parts add pop up sometimes.

I think these companies forgot one thing though, people hate being targeted. I think smart people at ad agencies assume that bringing people ads for stuff they may want is a good thing.

I think the reality is most will resent being snooped on and will decrease not increase sales. Im sure there is data to prove me wrong or they wouldent do it however.

Watch how smart companies like NewEgg do it.

Sometimes I'll be waiting for a deal on something so I intentionally do a search on their site for specific products then for the next week I get ads with deals, which change daily, specific to what I'm waiting for a deal on.

Saves me from having to regularly check them or read the newsletter.

Clear your browser cache and cookies from time to time. If you want, you can clear it every time you exit (depending on your browser). You can probably Google instructions for it.

For tablets it may not be as convenient.

Sites you visit may keep these cookies to track you, and will be read to show targeted ads.

Keeps Google Search free I guess.
