Anyone else notice the google ads for IQ increased since the IQ threads? I mean outside of the Aspergers and Autism ones.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to learn more about how search engines work. It's not a topic of interest. So, I'm struggling here trying to learn about it more without having the real desire to.

With Firefox and the AdBlock addon I don't see any ads but that is how tracking cookies work. Targeted ads are more likely to produce sales/visitors than non-targeted ads.

I use the web version of gmail for my email and some of the text ads featured will either be about subjects in my email or recent google searches. For instance, if I did a search on Asperger's the text ads would normally contain links to books or sites about AS.

^I don't use either and I still see no ads, except a small one for Google at the bottom left of the screen. I wonder why? :chin:
