Is it just a coincidence that I happen to be looking on the web for the proper way to clean and maintain the roof on my TT when a couple days later I get an email with a "price drop alert", and low and behold rubber roof cleaner price had dropped? I know if you don't have your settings right, every time you look up some widget on the net you see the ad for that widget on every page you look at for months. Are they able to track you and email you ad's now?

Nope, that's the way the interweb works.Now you wan't to experience something really spooky? Go to Home Depot and stop at the home accessibility showers - like they advertise on TV. Within 3 days your email will be bombarded by add's for them and it wil go on for several weeks. The chip in your card set's it off.

I didn't click on an email link that was targeted to me. No, they knew from my company's IP address that it was from my company and that I was likely the one browsing their site, super creepy.

This all comes from the fact that traditional advertising no longer works. Most of us could care less about what advertisers are trying to sell until we actually need something.

Think of it this way, it could be a lot worse. Just suppose the IRS was sending you emails. Every time you drop a quarter into a gumball machine you get an email from the IRS! imagine that.
