I just discovered something about google.....nowadays it tends to track your searches and gives you advertisements most related to your searches......for instance i have been doing alot of search on greenhouses and now whenever i visit any site that has advertisements i get an advert about greenhouse farming.........has anyone experienced this?

Google makes money on ads. Targeting by monitoring your e-mail and searches is the first order of business.

Some people haven't been trolled, lately.

Actually i just made that discovery
Hi and welcome to CB!
This has been going on for years as far as I'm concerned. Every time I do a search or make a purchase online, I see those same ads whenever I go on the internet. In fact, I never see anything except stuff that I am "interested" in...its all tailored to my searches.
Scary...but still i applaud their business acumen.
Acumen is good but the overall secrecy and invasive nature of the process is bad.

I don't think I should let my brother use my laptop anymore... there are always "sketchy" ads on it O_o

Totally unrelated to what you actually do online, of course ;)

Some folks may not know, but that has been the case since Google got going. They get paid per click on those links, even if you went 'oops'. And my, how the money rolls in.....
Lol then it's New to YOU! But it has been going on forever.
I notice this even on sites like facebook. Advertisements are always geared towards things i have been searching online. Clear cookies and I'm sure it stops temporarily
