If they are following me around they should know I don’t buy anything they advertise.
So, maybe they could stop wasting both our time and knock off all those annoying ads / pop ups / spam?

By now they might have figured out that my ad nausium ap spams their advertisers...

Can’t believe they get any money from all the pop up and ads. Who’s clicking on them? I’m certainly not.

I’m really bad.

I”ll use one web browser to search for what I’m looking for and then cut and paste that URL into a DIFFERENT web browser (one is firefox, the other Chrome) and go to the site to buy the product.

That being said, I’ve gotten to the point where I just buy everything online either through Amazon or Costco.

Knowing what demographic/profile of person _doesn't_ buy is also valuable information.

I use Goog sparingly as it is marginally better for a very few categories of results. I use AdBlockPlus. That said, a small number of sites that request I disable ABP have information I need/want at the time, so I comply on a per se basis.

Only one or two sites (Drudge) persist in showing me ads and I’ve noticed that they always lead with the item I just purchased. So, let me understand the strategy: I buy something and am immediately presented with an ad for my most recent purchase, which...I know you get it...I do not now need.

Such brilliant marketeers.
