    This is the first time i noticed this so basically i was searching about a course on google about "sap" basically after sometime while visiting digitalpoint i am seeing ads of SAP Training, SAP Coaching

    basically adsense is displaying ads not based on the site niche but the keywords i had searched few mins back

    Yes, it's a feature in adsense. Publishers can opt out of it if they don't like it.

    It's Interest-based Ads. You can set it in your adsense account whether you want to use it or not.

    Yeah, this was spooky to me (as a user, not as a webmaster) the first time I noticed it happening to me. I had been searching for information on hotels in a particular city, then I started surfing for completely unrelated stuff -- and everywhere I went (it seemed), all these sites were showing me ads for hotels in that city! It was weird a little unsettling.

    Did you log in your google account when you do that? If you did, that answer it.

    It happens only if you are logged into your google account, log out and you will not receive interest based ads

    Right, it's called Interest Based Ads. It appears only when you are logged in with your Google Account.
    But, it can not be controlled from Adsense Account but from Google Account.Checking the "Web History" will turn this on.
