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.

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?

I still get a bit edgy when I ring for a chinese and they know my name and where I live.

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

and specifically for the tools I checked out

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.
