Very well targeted (not) Advert for OzBargain Website

I thought I would share the laugh I had when I saw this banner ad last night. Took a screen grab to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Here it is: http://1drv.ms/1fo9pMR

Ad for McLaren Sydney and Melbourne. Yeah that's right, as in McLaren the F1 car manufacturer! I recall the deal was very cheap at $399,000. Which in all honestly is probably very cheap for a McLaren. But on OzB where ozbargainers are haggling for $5 and get a high for getting a free coffee? LOL. enjoy.

    lol….

    Unfortunately they are not controlled by OzBargain. They are targeted ads by Google and are based on your searches and the websites you recently visited.

      LOL really? wow I must be getting ahead of myself.

      O yeah, it must have been the Lamborghini deals I was searching for on ozbargain that gave it away. :)

    The moderators were talking about this last night. Myself and another mod got similar McLaren ads show up last night. No idea why as I haven't been searching for cars and certainly not McLarens.

    You never know, there's probably a few OzBargainers making so many savings on their coffee or whatnot everyday with a goal to buy a Mclaren!

    • enjunuet on 29/04/2014 - 20:31

      Yeah and that Ozbargainer's name is Broden. The margins he makes on resale of bargain buys would probs buy him 2 of these. ;p

      No need for AdBlock in this case. There's a toggle in your account settings to disable banner ads.

        Hmm forgot about that!

      • enjunuet on 30/04/2014 - 08:47

        Cool I didn't know that one. Thanks.

        No need for AdBlock in this case.

        why on earth would you choose to block ads only on a per site basis specially when most sites that have that option dont have the worst/intrusive/horrid ads anyway? seems kinda counter intuitive

          why on earth would you choose to block ads only on a per site basis

          I don't. Simply stating a fact that OzBargain has the option to disable ads.

    At the moment I'm getting an ad for Gynaecology couches. I'm pretty sure I haven't been searching anything even remotely related to that.
