Is it just me? Or are we seeing a lot more travel ads on HP?
I am beginning to see a lot of ads in my feed. Oh, I am used to seeing a few, maybe one every week or so. But recently, I am seeing two or more almost every day. Invariably this new influx is from India. I don't know why they think I want to go to their gym, or stay at their hotel, or eat at their favorite restaurant.
Just a note to these people, I don't read them, I block the person, forever.

I am getting comments with links to something that has nothing to do with my hub pages. The person has no picture. So naturally I am denying those comments
In the recent past you have probably been checking out or seeking info associated with travel, airlines, hotels, and restaurants. The cookies generated via these searches indicate to Google what your interests are at this time. So, appropriate ads appear on your timelines. A week or so back, I purchased some clothing online having done a considerable search. Now all I see online are ads for t-shirts and jeans. Even the ads on this page right now show a variety of tees and jeans!
quicksand hit the nail on the head. The ads you're seeing are unique to you, and aren't seen by everyone. For example, I googled a local college the other day and now I'm seeing ads for that college.
Different ads are presented to each of us, based on our internet search history and the sites we have accessed. Recently I have been looking for a holiday, so I am now seeing a lot of travel ads. Only yesterday I looked at a specific site for women's clothing and now my Blogger blog is pasted with a banner ad from that site. Big brother is watching us.
P.S. The banner ad that I mentioned above just appeared against my comment box - so clearly ads are tailored to our search history.

I noticed Amazon products displayed in the skyscraper ad on the right of my page. I also noticed it was displaying the exact same products I had listed in my Hub, further down. I'm sure I've seen Amazon ads in Hubs before, or at least on the site somewhere. But I've never seen...

I had typed this hub. I knew it required a lot of finesse so as not to make it appear cheap. Just when I was all immersed into it, I got this message that the ads would be disabled if I published the hub.It hurt me very badly. I deleted it at once. But today, I feel that I do need to express my...

I haven't been sent an approval nor an AdSense Code or I.D. Yet I see ads by my hubs. What does this mean?

Has anyone else had ads disabled recently for pictures of breastfeeding?Really annoyed. This was one of my highest earning hubs and has been published for 4 years. I moved a few things around on it the other day and now ads are disabled. I have asked for a reconsideration but am told that the...

I'm putting this in the sandpit because I think it is better kept from the search engine's eyes. A mod will move it if it's not appropriate here.On checking my Analtyics accounts, I see that my recent few pathetic Adsense clicks have all come from other hubbers.Please please please do NOT click on...
