    Default Internet Ads Copy What I Type?

    I've noticed lately that if I type something on the internet, later on there will be an ad to correspond with what I typed. These are not pop-ups. Just the ads at the sides of websites and such.

    IE, on Facebook, I 'liked' Victoria's Secret, now I'm getting a ton of Victoria's Secret ads on websites.

    I typed on here that I want ripped abs, and then I get ads mentioning how to get ripped and the "300 workout" and stuff.

    I look at cameras on Amazon, and then I get ads for the types of cameras I just looked at. Same for shoes or anything else.

    It's really starting to creep me out.

    Has anyone else noticed this? I mean, what is this?

    yes it is targeted marketing, you have to block ads or surf using proxies.

    Just part of the net today

    I noticed this the other day too! I was on Home Depots website looking at little padlocks for my locker at work, and I put this pink one in my cart but only so I could check to see if they had it at my store or whatever. A few days later I was checking my email and the ad along the top was a Home Depot commercial saying something like "we have everything you need" and a picture of the EXACT SAME PADLOCK I put in my cart!! I was like no freaking way!

    Cookies. And not the delicious double chocolate chunk kind.

    Here's a detailed, 7 page explanation of what they are how they work.
