Seems like corpusfishing.com's advertising offerings have recently been tailoring to my google.com shopping searches.
Could there be any truth to this......

I was searching for a replacement glass table top earlier today. That is a pretty specific item, so it really caught my attention when I saw an ad for the same here.

I am sure that is only what you search on google. I specifically set my ad program not to track anyone's visits to other sites.

Google can monitor what you do when you visit their site. I am sure that is why I keep getting an ad for Ziamonds. My wife shopped there for her anniversary/xmas present via google I suspect. Christian Mingle I don't know as I am not single.
Now I have been getting some ads for night vision scopes  Wonder where those came from ?

What you do with your personal time is none of my business.

Definitely being tracked, even on the ads here whether they track from here or just use data tracked elsewhere when loading the ads here. On my work computer I've been getting TONS of 8x8 ads on every site I go to, even this one, and at home I get other stuff.

| Folks, the ads are recommended to you based on cookies left on your computer for every site you visit. Dumpy your cookies once or twice a week and you will get more generic sidebar ads while visiting other sites. |
