There's a r/google I sometimes peek at. One common theme there is someone complaining about the ads they get, another one asking about personalisation and the complainer confirming they have it disabled. Not getting ads for mail-in brides is nice.
Disclaimer: I work in Google but nowhere near ads.
- SiempreViernes 5y agoRight, absent a very extensive dossier about my habits and desires most reasonable choice for google when serving an ad for this `sed' tutorial is for a mail-in bride?
- lrem 5y agoWhat else should it be, when nobody tries to put ads relevant to`sed'[1]? Normally, Google would fall back to "put ads for whatever this person is into". But without personalisation, it falls back further to "put ads for whatever the Internet is into". Which appears to tend towards mail-in brides, softcore pornographic games and other sadness. There's been here a rather good blog post from an engineer actually working on ads on the topic. I think a couple weeks back. [1]: well, for `sed' I'd rather expect someone trying to sell you an IDE, or to get a cut from recruiting you. But then, what do I know.
- raverbashing 5y ago> What else should it be, when nobody tries to put ads relevant to`sed' If there's one company who should know what to advertise when the user searches for "sed", that company is Google. Yes, without personalization, as the user just gave you the information you need! If they don't they might as well roll the doors down because that's the main core business of Google. How did advertisers knew what to put on the WSJ? on Time? on Sports Illustrated?
