I've noticed the same thing. The ads must be triggered from some key words in the post.
I never thought of it as spooky until you pointed it out. Now I feel like Big Brother is watching. We all must realize the if we post it online, it's not secret or private any more.

It's a form of spider marketing. It responds to certain Key words by popping up related ads in an attempt to sell us goods.
It's a software for advertisers and helps keep our site free. I've seen similar on sites I worked at.

If you go to "Quick Links" and then click on "Who's Online," one of the "people" online is the Google AdSense or Google Spider. I am sure that is a program that scans these posts and then posts ads relating to key words in our posts.

Well done Rebecca!
Most don't even notice it... It really is harmless, but it's a moneymaker for sites such as ours.

I've noticed it before too, but didn't think anything about it. I figured it had to be from the posts or something. I don't get that freaked out about things anymore...but always a little cautious.
