Google + FB = Ads ?

[seeandsee]

I checked for some Long Island recipe 30 minutes ago on google, and i logged on facebook now, and i see ad: "Work for 10$/hr + commission on Long Island" lol they are fast now, but targeting sucks a bit

Yes. I just noticed yesterday after logging into a gmail account that we use for our fat girl site, not only was I seeing ads inside gmail for weight loss, but when I logged into Facebook via my PERSONAL account, I saw more weight loss ads. Yesterday was the first time I noticed this.

It's really spooky how invasive things have become.

Could you have found the long island recipes on a site with a FB like button? That could be it, instead of some cooperation between facebook and google, which i find unlikely.

You are right nextri, they have fb like button, jesus they are invasive...

This sort of targeting is why the EU Privacy directive was changed to require explicit user consent to the setting of advertising tracking cookies ...

Seriously would you click this?

Yes, their targeting just gets quicker. A while back I kept seeing HIV related ads; a subject I have never Googled in my life. Imagine my surprise at my next medical exam.

I've experienced similar stuff... I had looked up some LED lights on amazon and the ads started appearing in various places for the exact same lights.

Facebook's ads are nowhere as great as Google's. At least, in terms of effectiveness and income. There is a bright spot though--people have been using FB ads for list building and adsense arbitrage. Not as smooth as pure google plays but the fact that a lot of people are doing them means that there might be enough money in it.

It has all to do with the new PRIVACY RULES, GOOGLE FORCED you to accept and sign 2 months ago...

Yes, CAPITALIST Companies will DO ANYTHING to sale their shit, they dont care about anything else. They become TRUE MERCENARIES.

PIRIOD.

You use Google, Facebook, and Twitter for why? To make your personal information freely availabe to, well, everyone?

Twitter, Facebook and Google are great tools for generating revenue - for Twitter, Facebook, and Google...
