Default Google's target marketing

Is it just me or is everyone else who is visiting this forum getting adds on the left hand side for Wholesale B1ackberry phones for $89 bucks?

I think it is strange that Google would impose a fake product on a site that provides support for a genuine product!

I sees them too under the Sponsored Links section. Someone has a weird and bizzare sense of humor. Oh the other hand I guess the cash helps keep the forum in business so the worst is that I ignore the ads.

I didn't know this site has any ads. I'm on a Mac using Firefox & Safari without add-ons. I see a very clean fast loading page & that's another reason for me to continue reading more.
I appreciate all that has been posted.

I don't see the Google ads, they are blocked by my firewall or something.

But Google ads are based on page content - contextually relevant ads. If you have a web page about dieting, Google will display ads about diet products & nutrition, for example. The ads are displayed based on an algorithm of some kind, they are not chosen by humans.

I went to a Jillian Michaels website once, and all I got when I came to this site was Jillian Michaels ads. They stopped after about a month. Google has the low down on us.

I like the fake BlackBerry ads too, I always thought those were funny.
