'Easygoing funny and fit woman looking for guys. Meet her now"

Complete with skimpy little black dress.

Can anyone else see this at the top of the page?

I have an ugly Boden ad

I'd swap for your ad anytime Grin

I'd re-post this in site stuff if I were you, cos now and again they do get dodgy ads infiltrating MN.

trashcanjunkie · 18/11/2013 22:20

Ah yeah that's totally right. I get adverts for things I've bought online or looked at. Who else uses the computer op?

ReluctantBeing · 18/11/2013 22:21

I've got one for holidays, but I never look similar stuff up.
But the fit women one does not sound good.

The ad at the top of my page - on laptop doesn't seem to be linked to my browsing history. It's currently a swedish childrens clothes site offering a MN discount.

The ads at the sid are more linked - currently have a Jack Wills ad which would link to me looking at Christmas present ideas for DD for example.

ilovesooty · 18/11/2013 22:24

It's my phone, it's password protected and no one else has access to it.

Wondering if I've inadvertently clicked on something dodgy on a newspaper site or on Facebook while opening or closing pages or scrolling.

The phone has antivirus protection installed as well.

At least no one else is going to be under suspicion - reminds us all that not everything is always what it seems.

valiumredhead · 18/11/2013 22:29

Use the app-no ads at all then!Grin

Golddigger · 18/11/2013 22:30

Ive got Luxury Furniture and Linens. ooh.
Something has gone wrong somewhere. As I scored 15% on the posh test!

monicalewinski · 18/11/2013 22:57

Swedish childrenswear now, have never googled that!

Golddigger · 18/11/2013 23:04

I find it interesting to watch what I am offered! Sad woman that I am.
A couple of weeks ago an advert for a pantomime hudreds of miles from here, popped up. I had a good think about why. And realised that I had been on a thread earlier where a poster had joked along the lines of "where is he. He is behind you" or something like that.

Golddigger · 18/11/2013 23:06

I have now got ACHICA. Another luxury something or other. Bizarre. Suppose becuase I mentioned the world luxury above?

In answer to op. No, I have never seen that one.

usualsuspect · 18/11/2013 23:10

I've got one about student travel.

No idea why.

kelper · 18/11/2013 23:14

I've got boden and easyjet..... God knows what this says about me!

Fannydabbydozey · 18/11/2013 23:35

I have the Boden ad. I think its because I did the posh test and scored over 50%

DropYourSword · 18/11/2013 23:39

I have one encouraging me to study psychology at university!

MillyRules · 18/11/2013 23:39

Definitely the adds are linked to your viewing history unless you go to adsense and opt out but even then you have to re do it if you have high security settings.

MillyRules · 18/11/2013 23:41

O Sorry didn't see that your on your phone. Sorry

Golddigger · 18/11/2013 23:43

I have easyjet now. Presumably because kelper has mentioned easyjet? Is that how it works?

easyjet easyjet. Now everyone on here will get it?

Opalite · 18/11/2013 23:44

My adverts on Mumsnet are never advertising websites I have visited
I'm pretty sure those are different types of adverts
The advert at the top of my page now says 'whatever stage you're at Mumsnetters can earn 6% average money-back' so they are often tailored to mumsnet

I'd be pretty shocked at seeing that advert on mumsnet

WorraLiberty · 18/11/2013 23:48

Not all ads are linked to your viewing history.

My PC is as old as the hills so I have to keep running Crap Cleaner every hour...this deletes all history and temporary files.

If all ads were linked, I wouldn't have any at all after I ran it.

WorraLiberty · 18/11/2013 23:49

And now I've got 'Swedish Children's wear' Lol

ilovesooty · 18/11/2013 23:51

On the PC I now have Chicco baby products (I don't have a baby). A few minutes ago I had TransPennine Express (I travel with them regularly and buy my tickets online).

ilovesooty · 18/11/2013 23:57

I've got EasyJet, Chester Zoo and the Swedish children's wear now. At least the strange woman hasn't reappeared.

monicalewinski · 18/11/2013 23:59

Just had luxury linens like Golddigger but am now on Easyjet. Had "sensibly priced children's furniture" too!

Off to bed now anyway. Smile
