I'm assuming you are talking about the ads you get when browsing. My son worked for a company that analysed every click made on the search engines. The ads you see are tailored to you and will change dynamically within seconds of you viewing a site/object. So if you are getting Harrods, you must be very posh.
Try it for yourself, search and view something that you would not normally look at (must be a major brand or product). See just how long it takes for related ads to appear.

I've never looked at either! Nor related sites!

Harrods is expensive but it hasn't been posh for decades. I've got an ad for some company that lends money. I've never used one of those.

No Pompa, not when browsing just hanging around on GN!

pompa Mon 16-Mar-15 18:38:40

Must be 30 years since I have been in Harrods, and that was only because I was on a training course in an office close by.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 16-Mar-15 19:12:36

Oh! Harrods is still posh! (and bloody expensive)

Ana Mon 16-Mar-15 19:14:39

I should hope it is still posh. Have to keep up standards! wink

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 16-Mar-15 19:15:54

Absolutely! grin

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 16-Mar-15 19:17:19

I've must have some kind of adblock on my desktop. How do I get rid of it? I like ads.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 16-Mar-15 19:23:45

Yesss! I followed some instructions given on the other thread about adverts, and I've disabled adblock. smile I've got Tomy Aquadoodle!
