A Bit Odd To Me On Breitbart News....

Noticed something a bit odd and different on Breitbart News today when surfing for news.


And that was a significant number of ads for Communications two way radio equipment.

I'd not noticed this until today....but they have always had a significant number of ads on Breitbart as well as other web news sites...

It is just that today I noticed a significant change in the ads in that they were for two way communications radios.

Any of you members noticing this change in the ads in your web travels????

I will be looking and noticing for this trend in my web travels...now that I am awakened this pattern.

Breitbart, like other sites, gathers information from your searches. Even if a website itself does not track, trackers track you. If you search for hand tools or have been searching for tool-shop info, then Poof!, you'll start seeing more ads that promote products in that market line.

For Christmas last year I searched the web for wool full-length sweaters for my wife. I ended-up buying her a couple plus a huge wool scarf ... but at a brick'n'mortar . Pretty, pretty. Since then, I've been getting ads for all manner of women's clothing. OK, so I'm no vogue dance queen in the back-ally bars on Saturday nights. (If I do, I'd never tell -- oh god, what an ugly woman I'd make!)

Watcherchris, you simply could have been looking at radio equipment. Advertisers profile you and change the ads targeting your interests on no-matter which site it is to which you go ... even the news.

What do you think? Am I showing too much cleavage?

 

Olde Geezer,

I have indeed been looking at radio equipment across the band and on different sites.

Someone on another site just explained that to me as well. I was not aware of it. Thanks for the update.

I have 2 Ham radios one HT 1 Mobile both are dual band uhf/vhf...

 

What are these things called Ads?

And two-way radios? Got plenty of those. 6 MURS radios and 10 Nextel i355 cellphones that have a direct talk feature acting like a secure two-way radio minus the needed cell tower. They use the 900 MHz band, VSLEP modulation and FHSS. Most commonly called iden.

 

I have a couple cheap Chinese radios that can transmit on the Ham band if in an emergency. Many years ago while I was in high school I tried to get my novice and technician ticket but failed. LOL Turns out I studied a book that was far too old. Never tried again after all these years. Just been more into police scanners and what not. I'm thinking of at least getting a GMRS license since there are many GMRS repeaters around here where I live in Colorado.
