Posting since Vijay wanted us to report offensive advertisements and bring to his attention. Personally I was fine knowing there was 4 hot women waiting to meet me in my area. I felt loved and wanted. But this is not safe for work.

So, ads are not same for everyone?
I never saw that ad on my screen..


EDIT - Haha xD ..what did you search, Boss? :p


Makes sense for me --

I have this watch ad, chevrolet car ad, some "shopper quick" ad, towel fest ad and another watch ad 😆

I don't think ads are generated based on Google search.. I am quite sure I have never searched for anything relevant to the disturbing ads that I get to see😳


The forum these days is boring as hell

Now there is one for Swifter wetjet sanitary napkins. Although nothing wrong but of no use to me. Also not my favorite brand either.

To be more clear, I meant your browser history rather than specific "google searches" - I have a friend who works in marketing and he creates data programmes which generate a correlation between pages viewed and relevant ads (some algorithm-y tech-y stuff which I can't explain properly).

My ads are mostly from websites I have purchased/viewed from in the past.

Yes. Google adsense uses location based ads and sometimes custom tailors them based on your local cookies but if you start with a fresh page with all deleted cookies and history then it generates them randomly. If I was really looking for some dope I would have chosen for something more laid back that didnt give me such huge rush. 😆
