What’s up with gmail’s targeted ads?

I have noticed that google ads’ targeting system is getting progressively worse over time. I noticed some pretty random ads in my gmail sidebar today, and decided to take a screenshot and share them with you.

Obviously, they don’t match the content of my emails, but they are pretty funny. All of the ads are totally unrelated even to themselves. I wonder what kind of of ads people that actually have vampire fetishes are getting.

I am happy that they are better targeted here on this site than on gmail. Maybe it is because content on this site is easier to target.

If you notice any funny, unrelated adsense units, please send them in.

  2. Honestly, I don’t have a vampire fetish.

    If you think that’s odd, I was on a horse forum and was displayed google ads about ‘finding single lesbians online’.

    iI wonder if that will skew those google ads on the right?

  4. Hey….that’s a good idea for comments on this post. Let’s see if we can get any ads about single lesbians….or anything else obscure:

    Nope, it’s not working. I still see mostly make-money-with adsense ads.
