Did anybody notice that the ads you are now seeing are only showing ads for sites you’ve already visited or specific searches you’ve done?

Google used to target ads based on the content of your site. This is valuable for advertisers.

Since a while Google has switched to the current scheme, which DOES work, because they know you were searching for specific content or a specific site. Besides that, marketing = repetition. BUT why would anyone want to pay for this? Google is not bringing NEW customers anymore. Google is not bringing RELEVANT ads to your content.

Google is basically selling advertisers customer they already have.

Anyone who has tried to do any online advertising recently will discover that it just plain doesn’t work anymore.

I know I spent almost 2K for only a hand full of clicks and about 50ct in revenues each.
