Well, if you're looking to buy a Honda, and the ad that gets shown is for the Mercedes Benz dealership, that's pretty crappy targeting.

- fredsir 10y agoAnd all the times I'm shown ads for girls clothing or stoves because of some site I visited, and I am never interested in girls clothing or stoves, is good advertising? I beg to differ. What it is, is advertising that makes me install an adblocker.
- StavrosK 10y agoIt is, but there's no better potential for ad targeting than in a search engine, which is what the GP was lamenting. I read their comment as "how can they target ads well if they don't track me?", to which the answer is "they don't need to track you, you've literally told them what you want".
