By what metric?

Um... ok more specifically I think they are the 7th largest publicly listed company by market cap. I guess I was exaggerating a bit

I'll be really interested in seeing how retargeting in managed in AdWords. Google's definition of retargeting is the exact opposite of mine (maybe not "mine" but how my former company saw it.) To me retargeting happens after a successful conversion (as opposed to Google trying to drive the initial conversion), when showing the original ad is no longer desirable, for example, I converted on an ING Direct High Interest Savings ad now those placements start "retargeting" ING Free Checking account ads at me.

I found it funny how some sites stick with you for weeks. I dare you guys to go to High performance blenders from Vitamix Corporation. and just browse around a few pages. You will see their ads in just about every adsense block for the next 2 weeks.

I keep thinking, "josh its just a coqincidence that google ads keep showing up on things you just looked at". If you dont know what im talking about just a minute ago i was reading articles about working out your feet, ankles ect. All the sudden i go on youtube and im being show ankle ad's. I was on ezine articles too!!!! This isnt the first time this has happend.

How is it whenever im on youtube im shown ad on, Wholesale, Google Analytics, Adwords, Chitika ect. I go to watch peter chao on youtube then BAM, an ad for the google nexus.

Not only that all the time google will ask me if i want to share my location. I have said no 100 times, but these guys keep asking like a desperate horny teenager at a party full of sluts.

Not only that but once i was siting down talking about Itunes music on the phone with a friend, i get off then phone and i got an Ad for Jamster.

I think alex jones is right that google does track you. I dont know if i like it. This is a bit 1984ish. Also every search result i have ever made is kept by google.

Finally you're fucking banned.
