It's interesting.
Yesterday, in the thread, "Hobbit House L3000", I mentioned the phrase, "reinforced concrete".
Today, when I was looking at the thread, "Faster than light", at the right margin of the page was an ad for concrete inspectors.
Maybe, it's just a coincidence, do you think?
more: they are building a new building 20 metres away from us, and yesterday they pour a huge amount of semi liquid concrete for the first roof, at the same time there is a strong smell of amonia gas, i thought it is from concrete, but today morning i have read that about 20 km away a 12 workers poisoned by amonia in a factory , i have surprised, is the amonia i smell from the concrete or from the 20 km away disaster ?. i suspect it is from the concrete since when the concrete dried the smell disappeared.
some writers like colin wilson told many strange coincidences. i like his books.

Or, maybe they peed in the concrete.

As soon as I submitted the last post, the following two ads appeared in the right margin.

The more interesting thing is that I put the phrase, "reinforced concrete", in the thread, "Hobbit House L3000", on one day, and the next day when I read the thread, "Faster than light", in the right margin was an ad for concrete inspectors. So, it seems to me that besides monitoring everything I post, "it" keeps track of who I am.
I don't like it, but, from experience, I am pretty sure that no one else cares whatsoever.
Now, at the top of this page I see,
Ads by Google / Coin Values / Coin Prices / Rare Coin / US Silver Coin

If all this is happening is because Google Ads is working just fine.
The fact Google Ads are so widely used is for the most part due to it's ability to analyze page content and drive the correct ads.
I would suspend Google Ads immediately if their ads would be chosen randomly or not related to what we are talking about in this forum.
