I don't have any ads...   :smt003

C'mon, Bro!  The secret is to completely ignore the ads.  I won't be looking for this "double ad" phenomenon you've mentioned.

Good day, Sir.   :smt004

Those ads have helped me save a ton of money on Air New Zealand fare when a sale came up. 

They are somehow linked to shopping you do from the same PC you are viewing NCKA from.

 :smt006 the ads do seem to Taylor themselves to your interests... If they keep the site free and the boss making a little for his time keeping it up and running... so be it... Zappo shoes not even on my radar though... they missed the mark there. I've used the Scotty ad down lower several times. Is Zappo shoes sending gear for tourney prizes?

If you look at the upper right corner of the ad. there is a right arrow. If you click it (in Google chrome) you can tailor the ads even more to fit your interests. Get rid of the Refi ads?

Ads either taylor themselves to your browsing, according to cookies that get put on you computer as you browse around the web.  Or they are content based.  Google Adsense crawls the sites for keywords and places adds accordingly.  Of course, now that you all mentioned Zappo in this post, we should start seeing Zappo ads here.

Sorry for the edit on your post Weimarian.  I didn't actually edit anything.  Hit the modify button instead of the quote button on accident.

BTW, this is good for all of your browsing that may encounter these ads (which is a lot of it).  This isn't specific to just NCKA ads.
