Don't the ad banners "read" the cookies on your computer or something and base them on what you've searched for on a search engine?

Good reason to clean cookies regularly and use DoNotTrack.

OP: Are you the only person using your computer?

Or, maybe you were looking up amplifier cabinets & the google search algorithm mis-interpreted the type of 'cabinet' being searched.

When I first saw this thread, I thought the title was "more proof aligators aren't people."

I thought, "More true words have never been spoken."

Classic. I got nothing but pumps for awhile-bilge pumps, well pumps, sump pumps--you name it, after an innocent search for 'tone pump.' Lol.
