So you’re surfing the web without any Ad Block plugin installed in your browser, because you know that Internet content isn’t free.

And you’re checking out some site and you see an ad for a product that you recently Googled for. Or for a website that you visited the other day. Or for a travel destination that is related to a message board you frequent.

All of these are targeted ads, placed there by the businesses as a way to draw you back to their site to conclude any unfinished business you may have left there.

Web Watch was talking with a real estate agent the other day about new home construction, and we thought we’d ask, “has anyone every inquired whether the new home was built on an ancient Indian burial ground?”.

They looked at us blankly, and said “yes”. It’s a quite common question for them, it seems, whether it be new home construction or even trying to find out a bit more about existing home sales.

What’s your favorite hotel chain?

Sure, you have places that you’d love to stay whenever you have the opportunity to do so on someone else’s dime (spa resorts in far-flung cities come to mind), but what about for your own personal travel itineraries?

When YOU are totally in control of where you stay, what hotel chains do you prefer to stay in when the choice is up to you?

Dating used to be so much easier before than it is today.

Before, all you had to do was use your gut instinct on whether that guy or gal was going to be the right one for you, or if you felt that they had any excess baggage dragging them along.

What day of the week are you most likely to get a job?

Applying for jobs can be stressful, especially if you’re sending out resume after resume, cover letter after cover letter, and not getting any nibbles of interest back.

You’ve reviewed your resume. You’ve rewritten your cover letter countless times. You’ve rehearsed your elevator speech in front of the mirror until you’re blue in the face. But you’re still not getting any leads back from the applications you’ve put in.

Maybe there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your paperwork. Maybe all that’s wrong is the way you’re going about applying for jobs in the first place.
