i always thought google adverts were based on the text content of the web page they were on...

this:


was on the main forum index page - i'm still trying to work out which keyword set that one off!!

They are indeed based on keywords contained on the page. The word 'Personal', as in 'Personals', is rendered 4 times on that page, so is a likely culprit.

These incorrectly targeted ads soon disappear as Google's software eventually pick up that very few people click on them.

Google also provide us with an ad filter so I've just added that address to it Smile
