Does spam coming to Gmail match my search queries?
Hello! I first publish a topic in “I'm crazy” - but I can’t keep silent anymore.
I conducted an experiment since January 2009 - and came to the conclusion that the coincidences significantly exceed the statistical error.
So, I have mail on Gmail. I have been using it for a long time and successfully (24% of the workload without large investments). Over 20,000 emails.
Every day comes and spam, about 20-30 letters.
')
When I was interested in SEO and search engines - I started to receive spam about "Fast promotion on the Internet." Chance
In the spring, acquaintances asked me to select an air conditioner for them. I did a long google search with a lot of referrals and queries. In a week in the Spam folder - “buy air conditioners cheaply”, “are you looking for air conditioning? here he is!". Regularity?
In the summer, of course, he was interested in vacations and rest. Voila! In the spam folder - travel deals.
I was looking for options for a new laptop - in spam "laptops from the warehouse."
At the beginning of autumn, a friend received a letter (e-mail) from Israel, in RTF. Windows and Word stubbornly refused to display text in Hebrew. I went back to Google for a solution ... And so what? True - in the “Spam” folder - “learn Hebrew in 30 days”.
Habralyudi! Have you noticed the pattern between search queries and spam?
In all these cases, I used only Google - being logged in.
Is this a normal situation at all? Or am I behind the times?
