Or are you allowing a con site to advertise?

I'm not worried collettetech. It is just a picture of a mattress and it says 'latex mattress sale now on'. I'm not daft enough to click on any of the ads! ;)
It's gone at the moment but when it's back I'll screen grab. Latex mattresses might be a thing I suppose, can't imagine they're comfy.

@Snoopadoop

I'm rather worried my current ad thing want to sell me a latex mattress? I have never googled latex, let alone mattresses so why I've been linked to that ad?!

Hi Snoop, do you have a screengrab of the ad? It would be great if you could post it and we'll determine if it needs to be blocked. Not all ads are shown to users based on search history, there's lots of different ways advertisers target advertising so I wouldn't be worried. Hope that helps.

Thanks for reporting SandWitch, we've blocked "alreadyapp.com" ads from running on our site, hopefully that will do the trick.
Unfortunately the people who distribute these ads manage to get around the tight restrictions we have in place for advertising, please do let us know if this ad resurfaces and we'll try to get it blocked as soon as possible.

This is pretty poor stuff, allowing ads like this that are just a scam.

Hi SandWitch - thanks for flagging this. Do you have a screenshot of the ad so we can show our Ads team?
