Cain Ad by Google on DU?

I am guessing since it is an ad by google DU has no control what is advertised, but my question is are there any Obama Ad by Google on Conservative websites?

Edit to add: Didn't work...still seeing a Hermain Cain ad. So, from that I can deduce that Herman Cain = a vibrator.

The rest is up to you. :)

2. Aren't the ads personalized to each posters browsing history?

I could be wrong. I thought Google tracked your searches and reads and advertises accordingly. I could be wrong.

7. I am a liberal Democrat Gay Atheists with a browsing to prove it

Edited on Tue Nov-08-11 10:42 PM by SoutherDem

Usually I get gay single ads, Viagra ads, lube ads, Democratic ads, anti-religion ads as an example. This is the ONLY website which provides Republican ads. I know google generally focuses to what it thinks I want to see. I was wondering if someone could request "opposite" ad placement, e.g. republican for Democrats or Christian for Atheist?

4. Google AdSense works with keywords

There are countless posts here mentioning republicans, conservatives, Cain and the like. Accordingly Google AdSense places ads for Cain and other conservatives here. It's the algorithm, not a conspiracy.

Incidentally, I don't see any ads since I use Firefox with adblock. It's free and I love it.
