I really love the way Google tracks your searches and then targets the ads that you see to what you have been searching. I am looking for bed skirts for my two queen beds here in Florida and now when I was checking my notifications there were three separate adds for bed skirts. lol Talk about overkill and yet I think I am getting better results with the ads than I did with my searches!!

They sure are watching us. I see all the products that I have looked at on the side bars.

That has happened to me a lot too and like Anna said, it is continuing long after your search.

I'm glad they have worked for you ... but I think its a bit daft ...showing me adverts for the same sites that i've already searched on....

I've got used to it now but found it a bit spooky for a while. It's very clever how it does this.
