Are the ads you see on SW targeted to you?

[quote]Ads are everywhere, huh? Do you mind them? Do you pay to get rid of them? Do you like when they are "targeted" to you?

SW uses Google ads and I am fully and deeply embedded into Google's world. I use the Chrome browser on my phone & laptop. I use gmail and google calendar and a ton of other google services. So basically, they know more about me than I do and I'm okay with that.

My last three ads actually got me to click two out of the three times. Not bad Google, not bad. (Sorry Adidas, I'm pretty loyal to other brands!)

I`m seeing women`s bathing suit ads over to my right.
@Degbeme Oh I had that one yesterday. Some cute bikinis actually. I came very close to buying one from that ad but then I figured we're already halfway through summer and college starts in five weeks so I didn't. But I did click on it!

@IAmJess Not sure why I`m seeing that since I haven`t mentioned anything about bathing suits. Where are the coffee ads? 馃槅
@Degbeme Lol idk, but yeah sometimes they are way off the mark ... but it's actually funny how so often they are dead on.
