Quoted from rendevous Oh Dusty, the first bit about low understanding is leaning strongly towards insulting. But never mind. At least I know how to use my apostrophes. I don't need to stick up for Don. Just pointing out something. Enough said. R

It's you feeling the need to point it out that has led me to my conclusion that you don't know much about web advertising. It is only leaning towards insulting if you believe you do have a good understanding. Else how could you be expected to know?

I suppose what is insulting is when one doesn't know yet still feels able to 'point things out'.

Oh stop it. I would continue arguing, oh what joy, but I've dishes to walk and a dog to wash.

You're right, Dustin. I'm wrong. Not a clue.

Have ten points. Here, have twenty. Now, move on please, there's nothing to see here.

Although I am aware of your point-scoring system, I can assure you that I wasn't playing.

Quoted from Ledbetter No it doesn't Ray!!! It never goes away.

Well, that sux!

Quoted from Grandma Bear That damned Dodge truck ad crashes my laptop every time.

That sux even MORE!

There it is again!!!!

Sent you guys a PM which might fix.

Yeah, that truck ad is extremely annoying.  And for the record, if the ads are targeted for individual searches, then mine's pretty F'd up.  Never browsed the web for a truck or car in my life.  Now, if it were exercise equipment or the latest computer gadget, that I'd believe...

Maybe I do need a new truck.
Hmm...

I'm gonna go buy a F-150!

Thanks guys! I am considering getting a KIA Soul and was just wondering if this was some sort of subliminal ad that only fucked with me...like to get me to buy a dodge...I have a dodge now...Nitro..but the bugger is on last legs with 260k miles.

Quoted from DustinBowcot Just for the record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_targeting

Oh yeah.  Now that you post that it makes perfect sense!!  Of course I'm in the market to buy a truck!  Chicks that read about kettlebells, vegetarianism, gay rights rulings and comparisons of the iPad and MS Surface are a majorly prime candidate for stuff like that*.  

Just sayin' - looks like a certain advertiser could use a new algorithm.

* Great - now a spambot's gonna start sending me stuff on liposuction, bacon explosions and lesbian erotica.  Just watch...  (Especially horrific if that's all at once!)  

Maybe healthy carpet munchers drive trucks.

I wonder... maybe if I got a truck and got healthy I could also... nah. Can't be that simple.

Quoted from RayW Maybe healthy carpet munchers drive trucks. I wonder... maybe if I got a truck and got healthy I could also... nah. Can't be that simple.

Well, now that you put it *that* way, it does kinda make sense...
But Ray, is there something you're trying to tell us?  Not that there's anything wrong with that!!

I have never seen such an Ad.
