I'm a techno-prat so I don't really understand things like ads. The ad for Kobo ebooks appeared on my pageview a few minutes ago.

There was a particular book in the middle of the ones it was scrolling through. I didn't expect to see that book there. I had a bit of a squeal.

Is it there simply because I recently googled it and the clever fairies of the Interweb are waving it at me because stored cookie and stuff?

Nothing else in the array of titles was anything that had any particular relevance. Or could it mean that a lot of people have all of a sudden decided to buy the book?

OR IS IT THERE BECAUSE THE INTERNET KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE THINKING?

I'm afraid I don't know, SGB, but will ask a grown-up for you tomorrow. In the meantime, keep on squealing... Grin

Lougle is right, by allowing cookies on various sites you visit, ads will be specific to what you've been searching for. It can be a bit unnerving at times!

Should mention that this is an internet wide thing, not a ploy by Mumsnet freak you out. If you'd rather this didn't happen you can clear your cookies Smile
