What's with all of

Post by L14MNP » 20 Nov 2010 11:56 am

these Cafe Press adverts popping up all of the time? You know the one that offers the V300 T-shirt.

I'm seeing the banner on loads of sites now. :lol:

I think it's specific to you man. I get the same adverts for stuff I've viewed on all forums. But our lass gets ones relevant to stuff she's viewed on the same forums (not that I get on sewing forums etc mutch).

I guess it explains trainers coming up all the time from Schuh too then.

I suppose it's something certain sale sites are subscribed to and also certain forums then? Funny thing is, that V300 T has appeared everywhere from forums to streaming PL footy from crazy war-torn countries and up until I'd seen it about half a dozen times I had never clicked on it. So it must have chosen the words from this forum?

This shit is how Skynet became self-aware. :shock:

I think it's a cooky reading ad or something, once I went to Conrad.nl, some tool store, and now I see their ad everywhere :shock: and specifically for the tools I checked out :?:

What is a ad? Get Element hiding helper for Adblock plus :mrgreen:

Sometimes I wonder what it is to surf net without blockers, but it quickly goes past, I can always enable ads for certain site if I like, but with 0.384M net I prefer to choose what I use my limited bandwidth. Oh, it hardly ever works that fast as I'm living at edge of 3G.
