Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Has anyone noticed that since the DVD topic Philips Progressive-Scan DVD Player with DivX was started, there are google ads for DVD stuff? Do you think Google monitors thread topics and targets ads to them? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Note the wireless game adapter thread and the ads targeted there. Think of the mischief with specially worded thread titles... mole Edited by mole (2004-12-22 06:10 PM) _________________________ mole Who is John Galt?

I knew that they would target the general Raison D'Être of the board but obviously they are more sinister than that. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Chris - ROFLMAO !!!! Les - I don't think its sinister, think its more just simple/stupid targeting on Google's part. Remember the ads for KiX (cereal/rockband) on eBay.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Now I have to wonder if Google's crawlers trigger on pages where we talk about them and route them to their PR department? I think I'm getting a little paranoid. Google is nice. Nice Google! _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

It really means "from the left" but has been twisted around. There are a lot of left-handed people that might take exception to the current day connotation. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
