Bizarre

I was just clicking on my favorite news site, and I see a banner ad, huge for SpyFu

Anyone ever experience something like this?
This was not google pulling up my search results based on past searches this was a news site

Have you visited spyfu's site before? it is called remarketing. Nothing to do with searches. Everything to do with sites you have visited.

Ya I figured it might be some cookie deal where the main ad server picked up my ad or site history and then served me ads based on that

just kind of made me think, wtf?
