When using Google Chrome browser and signed into any of Google online services like Gmail and reader, your browser caches and records your behavior online. As an experiment, sign into Gmail using Google Chrome and search for a car, for example.
After few minutes searching for a car or whatever, reopen Google Chrome browser and begin browsing normally.
What carefully, and you’ll see that the places you go online where there are AdSense ads or other Google advertisements, those particular things you searched for will be displayed, in most cases.
