Does Hub Pages track my browsing history?
I am noticing that some of the advertisements on hubs are advertisements for items that I have been researching on line. I may be acting paranoid but I have been researching pull behind reel finishing mowers to use to mow my yard, they are suddenly all over Hub Pages. I do not think that there are that many people looking for non-motorized pull behind mowers, the types and.The same goes for binoculars and other lawn care equipment that I have been looking at to include Amish tools I looked up which are job specific tools that I had to research in depth to find. Has anyone else noticed this?
You'll also find items you browsed for at dictionary.com and many other places. I think FB maybe. Yeah might be a Google thing as previous post said. I was a little weirded out when I came on HubPages and saw an ad for the very two tiered produce basket I own. I had just looked it up on Amazon to use it in an ad on my blog. It's a little creepy, isn't it?
Same thing has happened to me. I bought some clothes from a certain clothing store online and now advertisements for them are all over the place: my yahoo email and even hubpages and other websites that I visit. Now I am getting tired of seeing this clothing store LOL.

Can anyone help me understand why my daily page views have dropped from 400 per day to 25 per day in the last month. During this drop I have added 10 hubs which in the past would have increased my daily page views. I am thinking of deleting hubs and rewriting them. Before this drop I had three hubs...
