Woah!! Lol I think so!

EDIT: It wouldn't surprise me. I went to the site, and hit refresh a bunch of times. Each time the ad came up, it would often show a different mod. It showed one of Metku.net's mods, the cryo-mouse, it showed a robot mod, the coffee machine mod, an led front bezel.. etc. Check it out for yourself!! .... jerk (whoever owns that site).

I'm not too sure how the Ads by Google works.. Would that be the owner of the site or Google Ads, that is populating the pics?

I believe it's his site. Right click on one of the ads and hit "view picture".

The 'ads by google' software is awful. You always get completely irrelevant stuff in it. I think it uses your page's meta tags to bring up the items.

Strange, since the adverts you get with Gmail are very appropriate.
Recently I sent someone a SVG file, and he couldn't do anything with it. We were discussing it in gmail, and the adverts I saw were for SVG editors. couldn't be more appropriate, considering.

Well, ok. It's not always completely irrelevant. Shall we say 10% of the ads are irrelevant? That's quite a lot at the end of the day.
