Jack Houston # 35508 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Like right now, it's an ad for trailer parts and I was looking for a ball mount this afternoon. Yesterday I was shopping at Shepler's and there was an ad for them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Beady Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 First, it sounds like you've got a bad case of tracking cookies. Suggest you update your antivirus/malware client. Second, there was a discussion some weeks ago about how to block ads. IIRC, there are several methods; my favorite is to enter the source of the ads into the Restricted Sites tab of Tools, Internet Options, Security.

Lazarus Longshot, SASS #44254 Life Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Jack, I've got a special deal on tinfoil hats, if ya want one. Oh, and watch out for the black helicopters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Targeted marketing is the new way. It's like having billboards along the highway that anticipate the needs of the passing motorists. I'd rather have somebody try and sell me something I'm already thinking about and looking at than have em bomb me with info about stuff I don't need or care about. Click on a thread about silver prices, yer gonna get ads for, duh, silver..... Pretty cool if ya ask me. Imagine what old Popiel coulda done with this?
