    How is it done?

    How does it work that when I come in here I see Australian adverts? I'm assuming that others around the world see ads applicable to their part of the world?

    Elda,
    I'm not a computer guru but I think it has something to do with your ISP, i.e.--your internet service provider. I'm sure someone will correct if I'm incorrect.

    It's is called geo targeting I believe. Your domain IP address is recognized by the system and thus the country you are calling from. The system then serves you up relevant adverts for your country. Likewise when I moved around the web I get adverts relevant to Canada.
