Uh... you realize that the ad is not based off your web history, right?
I think this is right, since what comes up definitely does not correspond with what I look up online (consisting of 4 websites).
Mine usually has advertisements for Epic Mix which relates to my ski pass, or for random Colorado stuff. But right now it's some weird anime love story thing. Supposedly it's based off your search history but it seems to get it wrong plenty of the time >.>

AdChoices wrote:Consumers benefit from these tools because the products and services presented to them in online ads are more relevant to their interests. As an example, our tools can determine that because of the content you have viewed online, you (as an anonymous user) may be interested in a specific kind of bicycle. Rather than viewing repetitive, disruptive ads about irrelevant products, you may see ads that showcase a bicycle you may be interested in. Because our audience models evolve constantly, end users see ads that are particularly relevant. In this way, ads work best for both consumers and advertisers, and when they work well for advertisers, publishers can generate more revenue for the content they produce, enabling them to create more great free content for web audiences.
So, looking back at the ads and what websites I view most, this is my best deduction (these are the most common ads):
Car insurance (possibly technology/review sites?)
Trampolines (?)
Various Games (NationStates?)
NBA (?)
Various Business Software (technology sites again?)

Edit: It could be a failed attempt from Google Adsense [Bot] as it is displayed as a user.

Like I said, it doesn't work very well but it's reasonably close most of the time for me. Here are the ones I've seen since getting on just now

-Epic Mix (Because I use Epic Mix...)
-Verizon phones (Bought one just before Christmas)
-Gold and Silver Buyers ...uh, no
-Play our online game! Not exactly surprising

I hope your picture gets deleted. The word in the picture is very inappropriate for my ten year old son who frequents the forums.

I do not know, nor do I care who your son is. Drop the trolling act, for your own sake.
