Feels a bit weird to have an ad for Chelsea's online store! Can't think they'll get much trade from us!

You do realise that it's targeted adds based on your browsing history?

I've never seen a Chelsea superstore add on this site.

Loads of 'date foreign girls' and 'job search' but not anything relating to another club.

They're normally based on what you've been looking at...something you wanna tell everyone?

I’ve got ‘name a star’ and ‘personal injury lawyers’ so I’m not sure....I thought it was more generically aimed at the average mostly male user

I presume youa re joking.. I've never visited a chelsea site in my life. The last time I was at Stamford Bridge was about 1971!

It might be based on the age and gender it thinks you are from your browsing.

Yeah I got that add as well and previously had a Liverpool one. Never visited their sites or Rawk in my life yet I recently bought a United kit off of the United store and visit the site regularly and see no advertisement for them. Saw an add for a green house the other day as well so basically this targeted dds thing is a load of absolute rubbish.
 
Ahhh we have a closet Chelsea fan! Didn't we have one before?

The ads I'm seeing right now are Life Insurance, Just Eat and Nissan.

If it's target ads, then someone needs to give the algorithm a tweak.
Indeed, I currently have a SsangYong one and I've never browsed for cars a day in my life so don't think it's too history-dependant.

There's also Geo-adds that are based on location or locations you have been to. It's not as black and white as 'I've never been to that site'. They have data that show people who visit x are more likely to convert a sale at other x. This is why marketing and your data are big bucks.
 
I've got an advert for GAP, never even visited the website.
 
I’ve got an advert about using kittens to mine digital currency. Now I’m not mad at it, I’m actually kind of intrigued but WTH :lol:
