Has anyone else had this experience or be able to explain it? I won't list my sites here (for fear of being accused of being a spammer) but I'll explain the best I can.

I have a site related to the fundraising profession. I also have another site (I just created and started launching last week) that provides Clickbank information. The other day in my office, I was admiring my sites (they're only making about $10-$20 a day each so far - so the least I could do is admire them versus swim in all my new mony) I left the fundraising site and went directly to the clickbank site. Wouldn't you know it - a couple fundraising ads followed me from the fundraising site to the ClickBank site??? WTF? The keywords aren't even similar and I didn't click on either site.

Anybody know how that happens?? or had that experience?

Best,

The ClickBank Tutor

I think Google does the same type of thing. For example if I Googled English Bulldogs and then later was on a site for Banking -- I have seen English Bulldog ads on the Banking site.

Yeah. I actually did refresh my page and they were still there. I've only seen this once. But thought it was crazy. I'm not losing sleep over it - just found it odd...

Sounds like Yahoo is tracking your web visiting habits via cookies.
