    I'd like to thank Oz Cruising for giving me this opportunity.

    Go for it! I would recommend avoiding Norwegian Cruises... Unless you like staff touching your personal things that were in a suit case. Grrr...

    The ads on this site seem incredibly well targeted. I was just googling 10 mins ago for some delivery take away and then the ads for delivery started popping up.

    Yes, it's called remarketing - Google keeps track of what you've been searching for and then tries to find matching adverts. Websites can also push this information to Google as well.

    It can be a bit annoying - especially if you're already a customer, I get heaps of adverts for products I already bought or services I already use ... simply because I use their websites.

    Also, as the administrator - I'm much more interested in seeing the adverts that everyone else is getting rather than adverts targeted at me personally - I tend to get the same ads over and over.

    @sim if that's what you would like I'll start sending you screen shots of all my ads.

    Nah - that's all right Geoff - it's more a matter of interest than anything critical.

    Although feel free to send screen shots of anything you feel is inappropriate, including the URL of the advert link (right click on the advert and select "Copy link address" or whatever it is called in your browser) ... so I can block it if necessary.

    *sigh*

    Completely inappropriate and dodgy as anything - I'm sure of it!

    Maybe I could complain to the advertising standards bureau about this - I'm pretty sure they advocate self-harm and teen suicide! :p
