Facebook knows what you told them about yourself. Google observe what you actually doing, and if you often visit tech sites then they should show you tech related ads instead of clothes and this is spot-on. The dating ad with women is just noise in their system (after all, if you are frequent in tech sites, you are statistically male... :)).
- TheSOB88 16y agoAre you trying to say that Google is more correct than Facebook, even though it's completely backwards wrong?
- chadgeidel 16y agoThat's been my experience. Google's ads (in search and Gmail) have been consistently better-targeted to me than Facebook's ads. The only ads I get on Facebook are dating ads (and insulting ones at that). Full Disclosure: I'm not running an ad-blocker, but I am running a hosts file, so I still see Google and Facebook ads, but maybe not "all of them".
- TheSOB88 16y agoIn this example, Google's clearly wrong. Facebook has an advantage in this arena. Why argue?
