Why in the heck has Chitika been showing ads for cowboy boots on this site for a week?

Just curious. I don’t think I’ve ever talked about boots, footwear, or western gear in my posts.

So why on earth have the contextual Chitika ads on this site been displaying nothing but ads for cowboy boots for a week? They don’t pay very well, in case you were wondering.

If you’re reading in an aggregator, click through to the site to see what I mean. You don’t have to click the ads, unless you’re in to that sort of thing. I don’t get anything for ad views - only clicks. I just think it’s weird.

If anyone has an answer to this mystery, I’m all ears. :-)

    You didn’t talk say anything about Windows XP boots on a MacBook Pro, did you?

    Maybe Chitika knows more about you than you do about yourself.

    Brian, no, I thought about that, but I don’t think I ever mentioned it. :-)

    Nav - could be. Maybe I’m a closet cowboy, and just didn’t know it. ;-)

    Over here in the UK, they’re offering me a Nikon D50.

    Oh, and I’ve clicked on it, so you can have a few cents :)

    I clicked on it too. Pretty soon you will have enough to get those boots.
