Spy Ads!
« on: July 15, 2007, 11:42:26 AM »
Anyone else notice that these forum adverts are "intelligent"? I mean that when you post a reply to a post in a new thread the advert that is produced is based on  words contained in your reply.

I'll experiment a bit...

The advert changes every time you add a new reply to the thread, but this is the advert that was generated by the above reply:



This isn't the exact result I was looking for - I thought the advert would be based on the word "boot" and generate adverts for shoes etc. instead it has generated adverts based on the the word "discuss" and brought up ads for instant messaging services!

Kinda spooky, don't you think?

In the "Beatles Ipod" thread, there's ads about free Ipods. The name of the ad bot is AdSense  ;)
