ever notice, if you go to say the chevy HSOforum, then go to a web sites forums, and it doesn't matter what site, that there is ads on the side bars of the very thing or subject that you have been visiting? I noticed this awhile back, but thought nothing of it. I was at the ranger boats site looking at the new rangers, then came here, and had ranger boat ads. today, I was at the chevy site, and today I have chevy ads. very funny. all other sites forums do the same thing, its not just here. it just goes to show you, that someone is tracking our surfing.

No, your computer is tracking you. Go into your internet settings and turn off Third Party Cookies, and clear them. Should fix most of it and you will mostly get generic ads afterwards. Also turn on or install Adblock to get rid of them completely.

There are also add ons to block tracking. I use one now called blur, was called "donottrackme"

Websites can track where you were before you visit their sites and where you went afterward. An example this can be found with a buddy of mine runs divorce HSOforum. He noticed that a majority of his site's visitors were going to dating websites right after viewing his site. He worked out some advertising deals with a few of the websites. It was profitable but quite a few customers thought it was distasteful as well.

Whatever you think of the decision, it shows how websites use tracking information for their own benefit.

they are turned off. it must be charter doing this, which would not surprise me.

It's not your Internet provider, it's a service called remarketing that Google (and other search engines) offer advertisers. Once you visit an company's site they can can choose to show you display ads on other websites. They are betting that will eventually spur you to buy, rather than creep you out.

Most of these ads have what appears to be a blue arrow in the upper right corner. You can click that and then go into the settings to turn that off.

You will still see display ads, they just won't be based on your previous browsing history.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
