Whilst I don't want to speculate about your online activity, but Google (our ad provider) often displays ads which are targeted to users, so that they will show content which is similar/relevant to what you have been doing online on other sites.

If you visit: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ you can edit your advertising settings to opt out of their interest based ads being shown to you. We will also look into our advertising settings to try and ensure that adverts which are not suitable for our site aren't displayed, sorry about this.

I seem to get a pretty fair selection of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Russian wives.

Somewhat broad tastes, it seems.

I don't mean to be immature, but I don't think you should be telling anyone about what you've been seeing in the addsw if it's 18+ lol, Lawrence even said it's related to whatever you've been watching ahaha..

all mine says is 'equifax complete for 4 95 a month' or 'googlr ads: advertize your website here!' lol

The only reason I started this post is because I felt I was just being targeted by advertising because I was a white male of a certain age. I don't really look at dating/mail order/whatever sites. But I have since then gone and changed the google settings that the admin  mentioned.

Googleadds are not necessarily linked to your online activities.

You can see their priorities while picking an add for you like this:
1. They have enough data on your online activities that you have a trackingprofile that allows to send you ads fitting to said activities.
2.  If they do not have any or enough data on your activities they will show an ad that fits the profile of the site you are watching (like goldfarming/powerleveling-services on WoW related sites).
3. If neither you nor the site have a fitting profile they will pick an ad from the unprofiled list (which in many cases are datingservices, medsellers, dubious creditsservices and such things). Or simply the ad for googlead itself.

So it might actually mean that some are simply not that easy to track in your activities as people who get more fitting ads.


And if you get a decent securityprogramm with an addblocker or a good standalone adblocker (carefull to not pick a "free" one of dubious websites you don' t know, that might be hidden malware) you won' t see anymore google-ads.
