It must have ads from which state you say you are in

For example, I was online shopping for throw pillows and a blanket for my wife earlier in the week and, about an hour later, an add for Overstock.com and the exact pillows I was looking at showed up on a totally unrelated website.
The internets is watching you :bigbrother:

Location probably has something to do with it as well (there is an Alabama Power ad at the top of the page for me as I write this now).

This guy nailed it for the OP. He was specific and exact in how it works. Additionally, TD is likely part of an Ad Network (Microsoft, Yahoo, Right Media, Google, or all). They make their unsold inventory available to those networks. The network in turn sells that inventory as part of a Geo-Targeted or Behaviorally Targeted buy (or both) and shares revenue on that with TD.

This is actually what I do for a living. I work in interactive marketing and advertising (FTR - none of my clients are on TD).
