Computer google bots question.

[Gregg]

I saw a random car for sale that was a year newer than my own. It seemed way too cheap. I clicked on it. It was too cheap because it had 200k miles on it.

Now I just checked the 5 day weather forecast and the whole top and side of the weather site is covered with this type of car for sale.

Here is the weird thing and the question: I have been looking at hand guns for sale sites for a month. I have not received one add or solicitation. What gives?

I think you answered your own question here. Did you ever click an advertisement for hand guns?

By clicking the car, you told the advertising engine that you are interested in that type of car. So if your weather forecast site uses the same ad service, it already "knows" that you are interested in that car.

But if you are just going to hand gun "sites", because you already know where to shop for those, then you aren't necessarily providing data to the ad service.

I googled hand guns for sale then clicked on the first few sites that popped up. I did click on several guns for sale on those sites.

I thought about that too but didn't know where to confirm. Makes sense.

I appreciate all the replies, thank you.

This answer is the one I suspected but did not know how to verify. I figured with all of the smart folks here at RJ someone would know.

whenever i go to youtube since i looked for a black sabbath children of the sea and watch a woman, Katerina Vaitsi sing it in a music studio the video usually comes up. she has big boobs. but it's mesmerizing because it's a woman singing black sabbath. it's like having the songs sung from a female perspective, even though it's the same words.
