Be sure to click on every Evony ad you see! (of course, don’t play the game – just try to drive them out of business…)
The funny thing about the ad above was that it was served to me when I was playing Restaurant City on Facebook. I think the algorithms are starting to follow us around the Internet quite well now. Tin-foil hat time!
I’m pretty sure that the Facebook ads are based on what you have in your profile. I’m half-tempted to put some “creative” things in there to test the theory, but I’m sure I’d regret that somehow, this being the internet and all.
Enjoyed the new Three Moves Ahead podcast, by the way. Send me a line whenever you enter beta.
The bad things about Evony are not just carpetbombing the web with tasteless adverts. This whole scam is a Chinese gold farmer going first party. There is much more about it here: http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/07/10/dont-play-evony/

Wow… that’s like when Amazon or Netflix says “You liked [insert romantic comedy], you’ll probably enjoy [insert blood and gore horror film]!”

You know… as soon as I opened this blog page an Evony ad popped up along the side.
