Fanatic #3965
I know there have been past threads about amusing RA ads (too many pages to sift through to find any specific threads). Tonite I saw an ad for World of Warcraft (I'm totally NOT a gamer) and this:
I can't figure out if it's targeting men or women...and I'm not clicking to find out. But it's funny, when I rolled-over the ad the chick winked at me. So I think I'm probably not the intended market.

Hmph - no adds for me offering great sex. This either says something about my browsing history or yours ... or possibly both

Or maybe you ARE!
I got an ad for Philipino singles. I'm not Philipino so I have no idea why they would've shown me that.
OK, I'm not single either. More evidence.
Heh.
I just got an ad for Zappos.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

I'm interested in the increased blood flow and enhanced stamina - is it any good for running??
Or should I just stick wth getting my blood changed every now and again.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Heh, I was waiting for that response.
Heh. I just got an ad for Zappos.
*snort* I do find it amusing when I get ads for places I have recently shopped. I'm not sure why that would be effective. I mean, I already know about that particular retailer, so why would Google want to trigger those ads?
I get a lot of ads from websites I've looked at. I like how ebags ads show the exact same bags i was just looking at. So I guess my ads are not random.
My ads seem to be highly targeted or not targeted at all. I get ads for really off-the-wall things that I have 0 interest in, frequently.
Have you seen the one with replica bicycles? I would really like to see that girl do a brick workout in that outfit!! She looks very excited to get started!

Nope...right now I'm getting lots of La Quinta ads, though.
Now I have an ad for ATVs...I LOATHE ATVs. Loud, smelly, gas-guzzling, destructive, dangerous. Yeah, targeted ads, my ass.

It's called retargetting or fetchback.
Retailers are trying to nudge you into returning and buying from them sooner rather than later. There's a cookie on your machine from the first visit.
The process is the goal.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.

Sure...but wouldn't it make sense to put up an ad for a similar retailer that I may not be aware of? I find that I click those out of curiosity. I have no curiosity about Sierra Trading Post or Backcountry.com, since those are often the first places I check when I'm looking for new wool socks or baselayer items or a Winter coat or whatnot. I rarely click an ad for a retailer that I regularly patronize, already.
