      I've noticed similar things too. If I search for something, next thing I know relevant ads according to a previous search keep popping up EVERYWHERE else I go online even if the site is completely unrelated.

                    it's very creepy - and only going to get worse.

                    probably pretty effective though, i was looking for form builder software a couple of weeks ago, found a site with a nice product - ever since then wherever I go on the web i am seeing banner ads for that software, they know i have some interest in it and are trying to close the deal with me. won't work on me though, total opposite, that shit annoys me and I will buy another form builder piece of software just because I'm not going to send them the message that I appreciate them snooping on me.
                    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                      google takes keywords from its mailserver to display ads that will be relevant to you

                      alot of large ad companies now are tracking what you do to display relevant ads but imo it is worthless

                      for example....I recently got a neat receipt desk scanner
                      i had some questions so i googled it ...now all the major sites i go to ( fox news , cnn , yahoo , gossip sites etc... ) all are displaying ad's for me to buy a neat receipt scanner. Ive had them for about a week now straight ...totally wasting their ad dollars on me

                        Yes, Google will read/scan your email for keywords to show what they call relevant ads
