    Default Brownells banner ad on Gazette.com?

    Is there some computer magic going on that targets the ads, or could this just be a coincidence? The the ad doesn't mention what they sell, just the name, so it would only be effective with previous customers.


    It clicks through to free shipping for orders over a certain amount

    I dont know much about computers, but I think it is all targeted advertising with cookies from the websites you visit.

    basically every website I go to, now has banner ads for Harley Davidson, Cabelas, etc. I happen to go to a website and instantly that ad pops up everywhere I go. I went to the gazette, and only the airline ad was there for me.

    I've been running the AdBlock Plus extension for Firefox for so long that I almost never see banner ads anymore.
