But I noticed when I shopped web sites on my PC(clothing, furniture, etc., no porn), next thing I knew, the site (and the items I looked at and/or ordered) are showing on the banner above the Forums and other pages. Did y'all happen to see my pretty TV stand I ordered from Wayfair?
I have yet to be asked by any of those businesses if I want my shopping displayed on LVA.
The current Harrah's banner is one that had been sent to me on e-mail, which I had opened and viewed. Next day, there was that very banner.
Very strange.
Those are Google Adsense ads you are seeing. You are being shown your shopping history because Google tracks everything you do across the internet. If you have a gmail account, use google search, use the chrome browser, look at funny videos on You Tube, have an android device or use any other google service, google takes the opportunity to build a profile of you. It likely knows your name, your age, where you live, what your sex is, what your sexual preference is, how much money you make, what race you are, health issues you have, what websites you visit, what types of things you search for on the internet and where you do your shopping.
It uses that data to serve ads catered to all of these things it knows about you whenever you visit a website that serves adsense ads such as the Las Vegas Advisor. If you recently bought something from a particular website, it may show you ads from that particular website because they have determined you will likely buy something from that website again. If you do so following one of their ads they will profit from it in some way.
