Privacy no more I guess. The new way Google is targeting ads is by your search patterns. Google knows I do a ton of insurance related searches so InsuranceLeads ads are now configured to appear on almost literally every site I visit. If other people visited those same sites they'd see different ads.
For example, in the non-insurance related forum there was a link to a Siobhan Magnus petition site. Click it and guess which ad appears.
This also means InsuranceLeads knows which sites I'm on all day. Well...not exactly. They know the breakdown of their click-throughs for each site.
Great, so now when I go to almost every site I have to start at the "InsuranceLeads" banner. Please, stop the madness.
Be careful where you're surfing during the day. Privacy is dead.
I asked a buddy of mine to go on those same sites but he told me I must be wrong since all he saw was penile enhancement ads.
But no kidding. When this becomes the norm, anyone will be able to look at your computer, see the ads and determine a lot about you.
