I am only asking this because I am curious about how advertising works in the computer world.
When I am seeing any given ad on my screen, is the same ad visible to all ATP members at the same time?
The reason I am asking is that I was placing an online order from Swanson (vitamins) and the next time I logged on to ATP there was a Swanson ad on the left side of the screen; was that just a coincidence? or is the Swanson ad only visible to me at this time?
Are 'They' watching what a person does and using that information to target potential customers on other sites used by that person because they may find like-minded people who may be interested in buying their products? (I realize that sounds a little paranoid, but it really is just a question about how this stuff works.)
