ok i probably spelled that wrong.

but anyway, the ad banners recently have been showing me all kinds of ads for cabinets.

kitchen cabinets.

right word, i guess

 

[DanGouge]

They just need to write better ones.

That stuff irks me. I was on a celeb/rockstar gossip website for a while because of that, they started sending me addiction type content.

Lol. If you want to get rid of it Firefox has an add on for that

 

[Demon_Hunter]

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?

 

[HeavyDuty]

Good reason to clean cookies regularly and use DoNotTrack.

I have selective vision adblock software installed in my brain.

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.
