Appreciate they aren't everyone's cup of tea, but are deemed a requirement on quite a few sites these days.
For those of us who can't or won't I stall adblock software, I thought it would be amusing sharing the ads that have popped up and are apparently tailored to suit our personal needs.
I have had quite a few humorous ones, including ads that suggest I try out modelling and buy a hoverboard.
Currently I have one that is suggesting hotel stays in London.
I had to hide my phone earlier when a dating site was suggested. Didn't want Mrs C seeing it and getting the wrong idea.
The screenshot attached is my favourite. If anyone wishes to translate, please feel free - cos I haven't a clue!
The tailored and personalised targeting isn't working.

I'm only getting "Leave the EU" campaign and Go Outdoors on here at the moment.
Not certain if this is AdWords but... I quite often on some other sites, keep getting adverts asking if you want to hook-up with Asian women, no idea why, these have popped up on stuff like news sites and other sites that are nothing like what is being advertised. I haven't been searching for owt like that, honest!
(29 May 2016, 6:08 pm)Adrian It's not a NEB issue, as it's Google that serve the ads directly.
A few pointers though:
- Check your 'Ads Settings' at Google.
- Check what devices are signed in to your Google account.
- Contact Google Support via their product forum.

Both,
Click the 'X' and mark it as irrelevant or inappropriate, if that's what you feel about the particular ad, but I can assure you that it's working based on browsing habits and what information Google has on you.
But feel free to contact Google if you have concerns over what is displayed, as I've noted above.

Bailey group business advisors? Actually scratching my head about that one.
All I've had, somewhat ironically, is ads for Google Adwords
Anyone?

Wow!
No idea who she is, but a trip is looking likely!
Anyone else up for it?
(26 Jun 2016, 11:02 am)Adrian Has anyone logged their issues with Google yet? I'm sure they'd be more than happy to investigate, if their ad engine is indeed 'broken'.I have reported a number of ads. No idea whether it is a complete coincidence, but my email account receives an astounding amount of spam every weekend and has done since the ads were launched on the forum.
