There is no way Google got these ads based off my browsing habits. I spend all my time on TL in the BW forums, or on tumblr posting pictures of Super Junior. Pretty certain neither of those things have anything to do with "Looking for Kenyan Girl?" or "Dating Fat Women." I like GUYS, okay Google? GUYS. preferably cute Korean ones. T___T

Mine are all for business-related things, which makes sense as I am in business. I don't recall seeing any dating ads, however. I just got an ad for slimband

I rarely get dating ads. I mostly get ads for clothing and league of legends. It makes sense since I recently searched up a lot of stuff of tshirt printing, but I'm fairly certain advertising league of legends to people who browse LoL fansites a lot will not get a single new customer.

I hear that reading Girl Blogs makes you get mail order bride type ads.

Google has been trying to sell me houses outside of Tokyo

That, and Korean Cupid or w/e that's called.

also, finance.google.com always gives me some Nigerian women dating site ad, really funny.

Actually, google targets people based on their browsing habits, so when you say gamers you really mean you.

Most of my ads are for sports teams and online computer stores.

There is a little blue triangle in the top right of the ads if you don't believe me click it and see for yourself.

GG bro

Listen to this guy, because he is trolling. At least thats what I hope for.

Teamliquid uses content related ads!

The reason you get google ads for asian women etc is because these are the most popular for the kind of keywords google gets from teamliquid. There are no starcraft-related ads, there are no esports related ads, but there are ads for "koreans", for "girls", for "chinese", "korean music" etc.

TL's Google ads are based on the content, and google is just taking his "best guess" for this to get the best ads possible. You'll get finance ads too because you can find discussions about money and politics here.. It all depends on what you see on the page.

Plain and simple:
If you have
"korean"
"starcraft"
"girls"

As keywords for ads, google will happily take "korean girls" rather than "starcraft girls".

For example:
Right now I don't have "girl" or "girls" on the page other than in my post
Ads I geT:
YelloStrom ( electricity provider)
AdChoices Widget.

Opening Blogs...
Ads I get:
Buffalo Boots
Meet Women
Home Fashion...

Open the sourcecode for the page (CTRL + U ) and search for "google_ad_section_", you'll be surprised(Or not)

I've been around the internet for a long time. If nothing else, I've effectively learned how to not pay any attention to advertisements.

Anywhere.

Ever.

So I find it funny that this guy still hasn't posted in the thread again. But yes, the ads are based on what you search, I did a little test and erased my whole browsing history. I basically was getting random ads, but after I started to search for adwords and adsense from google and now I'm getting ads for that.

Google will always use your browserhistory to make your ads more user-related, but it will always be as close to the content as possible. Were you looking a this thread while getting the adwords ads, too?
