This will improve user experience with google ads as they will be viewing more relevant google adverts. We might also see a rise in click through rates for google adsense publishers. Not sure whether this will increase the number of accounts that are being smart priced ? As higher CTR does not necessarily mean higher conversion rates.

It would be good if I could get it to work… I spent about an hour selecting my interests on the google ads preferences page and as soon as I clicked Submit…nothing. It’s probably my anti spyware software deleting the cookie. I think google actually supplies some anti-spyware tools.

Every website is tracking you… that’s cookies!

I appreciate …
I appreciate Google’s efforts to present relevant advertising. You can always erase cookies if you don’t want this, but I don’t see who wouldn’t want this.

freaking scary. Thank god I use Firefox addons that clean all Google history, all the time.
Oh and learn how to use the auto cue, it sucks looking at you.
