What are the voices trying to tell me?

Ads here are given to you by tracking information given to Google. Many sites have tracking pixels to promote their business, and they store your information when you visit them, often when you look at specific products. If you go to buy a washer and dryer, that's the info you give Google, and when they are asked to show you ads (like TB does on their left rail here), they remember where you have been. Internet marketing divisions try to do this all the time.
I know this because I work with this at my current job (and my last job).

For instance, since I like Harry and David snacks for Christmas, I visited their website a few times in the last week. As I am writing this, there is a Harry and David chocolate cherries ad in my left rail.
