Evil Scheme. Posted by B Millar [Email] (#1109) [Profile/Gallery] (more from B Millar) on Tue, 19 May 2009 12:52:32 In Reply to: Coincidence or evil scheme?, No Snaab, Tue, 19 May 2009 12:39:13 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It could be a coincidence, but you'd be surprised at the marketing tricks they play with us on the internet. I did a project about this in High School a while back so don't remember all the stuff, but advertising companies target people based on websites they view and topics they discuss. I assume that Saabnet has a generic ad company that pays Saabnet and they scroll ads in along with the Saab related banners Scott (and others) come up with. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I've seen quite a few ads on Saabnet that I would be very surprised if that actual company is a direct site-sponsor. There has to be a go-between, right?
Anyway, I constantly see these banners on other websites too that are targeting me specifically based on content I've viewed recently. I get tons of Saab lease adverts, haha.
