Have others noticed that SA ads are now linked to your registration or browsing at other sites? We are getting very targeted ads based on what we do. I know Google does this (and I block and clear as much as possible), but am not happy that SA is doing it.

As is the case with the vast majority of primarily advertising-funded websites we do require the use of data targeted advertising in order to provide high quality free content to our users. Without this targeting we could not sustain our business in such a competitive environment. The alternative would be to charge a subscription to our users for our core product and as per our mission statement we are committed to providing our users with broad coverage of investment research at no cost to our users, as we believe that everyone should have free access to the opinions of the crowd.
