I'm getting AVIS Car Sales ads now. Little do they know me and the fiancee just bought a 2012 Dodge Avenger (ex-rental car).

I'm getting a health insurance company I recently obtained a policy from, advertising the policy I just bought from them, and an online travel agency I recently booked a flight with, advertising flights to the destination I just booked with them.
I'll admit the logic behind using browser history to direct and personalize advertisements this specifically puzzles me. I've already bought the insurance and booked the flight. I don't need to buy them again. If I felt the need, I'd have bookmarked their websites so I can find them again. It seems to me the ad-masters should be showing me similar or related things to what it should know I already have or know about, not identical things. "I see you've booked a flight to Japan. Here's a nearby Japanese restaurant you might like", or some such. But I guess "expert systems" aren't quite expert enough to do that yet.
Not that we should be complaining. Revenue from the ads is what keeps this forum online.

Now, does CCF collect revenue from these ads that are generated by the browsers, according to browser history, or does Google, Mozilla and Microsoft collect these revenues. And CCF just collect revenues from the embedded ads on the website? |

Google collects the money and gives us a percentage.

Sap, that happens to me all the time. For example, I go to NewEgg and buy an SSD. An ad for that exact SSD follows me around for a week. They need to be able to detect cart abandonment to be really effective.

Agree with SAP - it's kinda funny - you look online at stuff, buy something and then get the ads. Doesn't google know I bought a new mattress for my son's room last month at Sears?  Edited by KenKat
