So... if I had Gmail and You Tube accounts I'd see even more ads? Yipes!

The Google 'adsense ads' work by analysing the site you're reading and the text on the page (what the page/article/news story) is about, and then displaying 'relevant' ads.

So, it figures out what type site you're looking at, and displays ads based on what it thinks you might like.

Visit an astronomy site, and Google will display astronomy ads. OzScopes advertise via Google Adsense on other sites on the internet, so that's why you would've seen their ad.
