how does the google know me?

The add banner for the new Cayman follows me all over the internet. It is always at the top of the grm site. I do, infact, need a Cayman...

It follows you in your dreams.

All I've been getting lately is girls in plus-sized lingerie.

Not that I mind...

The banner at the top of my page has an ad that says "Click here to see your arrest record now".

I've never been arrested, never even seen the inside of a jail. Then again, google has my browser history and they have been collaborating with the Feds so maybe they know something I don't.

Yikes....

I've been getting amazon ads for stuff I've been looking at there; mostly sci-fi books and lit.

Apparently my ding-dong needs to be enlarged.

I am getting ads for Jeep. I guess it knows I want to buy a Disco

In reply to Appleseed:

Just do what I did, marry a girl with tiny hands.

It's all about perspective.

i must be doing something wrong, because i don't see an ad at the top of this site... there is, however, a tire rack banner right above the reply box...

I was looking at Campmor's website several weeks back. The next time I visited GRM I was greeted with a Campmor ad with pics of women's underwear. And no, that's not what I'd been looking at on Campmor's site. Made me laugh. (Also, this is one of the few sites I don't run AdBlock on.)

I currently have a K&N filter ad......which is reasonable considering that I was browsing their site last night.

I've been getting motorcycles. New motorcycles. Unfortunately, no one is trying to give me a free motorcycle.

Discovered the same thing while reading a Motor Trend dead tree mag the other day. Apparently it's nowhere near big or hard enough

Mine seems to be stuff I've looked at on Amazon.

Mine almost always shows a Porsche ad.

Talk about marketing to the wrong demographic.

I only saw it once. Maybe Google knows me better somehow? INSUFFICIENT CASH DETECTED

Security department vehicles:

Ad Block Plus ensures I don't see any of those ads. It's great! And that means things load quicker too.

Way back Christmas time I got it in my head I might like some of those rope LED lights for my back porch so I Googled and looked on Amazon. Decided against it, haven't checked since.

To this day I see ads for LED rope lights. And yes I get dingdong enhancement ads even though I have never Googled that kind of thing. I think I'll stick a piece of black tape over my webcam. Or maybe it's my ex trolling me...

Mine keeps showing R/C car ads. Stop it! I bought one already, I like it, it doesn't need any upgrades or a companion vehicle for my son so we can race together...oh wait, is that one on sale?

My stalker ads typically tell me to buy E36 M3 I've already bought. I bought a receiver hitch and bike rack for my wife's car 3 years ago. I still get Hitch House ads daily.

I kill my web history every day too. I also run Spybot weekly for those stubborn, ground-in stains. Also, you can deny permission for websites to follow you around. I believe browsers are required to offer that feature.

I get some crazy Asian characters sometimes on top and on the left hand side bar:
