<br>Well that's worth a note in the history books.<br>Someone actually found something useful in Google automated ads!<br>I'm not even in the same country as their ads.</blockquote><div><br>Then one is dealing with the question of targeting, not "ads" per se. Have you told Google where you live? [I would expect the targeting to have a destination specific component -- if not then they need to implement this.]

One can "play" *any* reality -- its a question of what the reality values at a point in time. One can play google and get statistics on it faster than they can adapt.
<br><br>That does *not* negate the question of when Google Ads are relevant and/or useful? (I'm not exactly typing in Brittney Spears and getting what one would expect as sales pitches).<br><br>Picking extreme examples of the system falling apart are not useful from an ExICh reader list perspective because we are somewhat (significantly) outside of the standard box.
