Have you ever wondered how your Gmail ads seem to relate to your email content?
The video below breaks down into simple (and humorous) terms the way Google skims your email for keywords and renders ads based on these metrics.
The video is actually Microsoft’s jab at Gmail as it promotes their own online email solution through Office 365, but it is certainly … funny?

How do you feel about Gmail’s prying eyes?
Joshua Gish says
Can you really compare a paid service to a free one?
I would much rather have peeking eyes than to pay $72 a year.
The funny thing is I have no idea where the ads are. I’ve never seen any on gmail except a small thin bar above your mail. It’s hardly noticeable.
Eric Dye says
I never notice them either. 🙂
