Re: Enough

That's probably based on your IP address alone. What NebuAD does with your browsing history is choose what ads to show you based on your history. For Example if you visit a bunch of home loan and financial company websites then you will start to see a bunch of ads related to home loans and debt consolidation.

I don't mind that Amazon does this within their site. Actually, they do make some pretty startling cross topic jumps which shows they don't actually read their books but just guess as to the content when they make their keywords.

However, how does NebuAd know you "I" am? Is this per-computer? Per-IP address? Are they following my username somehow?

Can a website hosting an ad of theirs tell what add types NebuAd is sending and thus they know "me" as well?
