In Response to Haley's post


Haley asked,Have you ever found yourself being persuaded to purchase a product after noticing the ads while surfing the internet?

I have mixed feelings about these targeted ads. It is invasive for “someone” to know exactly what I have been searching for on the net. Privacy is important to many people. But does it really matter that “they” know you are looking for a new pair of shoes?

I have looked at some of these ads but I have never bought anything because of them. Information is important in the buying process. Knowing what is available can help you make the best buying decision.
Should these types of targeted ads be restricted from children? How do they know the age of the person doing the shopping?
