The Google ads are usually related to the content of the title and first post I believe, although on my screen this thread has TrackDay4You at the head, an Admiral Insurance ad to the left and MoneySupermarket Insurance at the foot.

I believe that your girlfriend has hcaked your computer and trying to tell you something.

Proper answer is that the Google ads normally are related to the title of the page, so I see "Want more hits to your website?" as the advert at the bottom of this thread.

Now I get it. A guy on Pistonheads was recommending Exol Lubricants Optima Vimax oil and I searched for some reviews. Now I can't get away from offers of cheap Vimax / Viagra etc.
Mind you, I was wondering why the wife was calling me Just in...........

Firefox (free) + Adblock plus (free extension) = internet browsing heaven.

Not seeing ads can reduce revenue to certain sites. It can also prevent you from seeing useful offers. So you can pick and choose which sites are allowed to present ads to you if you want.
