The ads are usually based on your surfing history. Every time I search Agoda for a specific town, I see Google ads for that town for the next few weeks. They start within minutes. Same with other sites I visit. If I check hostgator hosting, then Google shows me Hostgator ads. Might be IP based sometimes, bt I think it's mostly targeted at you personally.

I'm sure that's true to an extent but there's more than that going on. As long as I have been surfing TV I've been getting ads for ThaiLoveLinks and other match sites even though I've never visited them (no, really). Some program knows that I'm a male expat and figures I might want to get laid (I always want to get laid, but not screwed). Recently I searched for a new camera lens and got ads for lenses for at least a week, so that's the type of targeting you're talking about. Very clever those internet marketing people.

The lesson here is: don't use the internet if you're trying learn how to commit the perfect murder.

Your IP address doesn't show where you are. It shows where your ISP is.

Really? Just based upon ip address services such as http://stereopsis.com/flux/map.html can pin down your location to within a few metres.

And do you know why ????

I'm on 3G and it shows me near Silom road Bangkok.

Correct up to a few hundred kilometer
