For example, if the user types <i>promotional pens</i> into a search engine such as Google, ads for promotional pens will appear at the top of the page above the organic listings.

Indeed, 68% of those surveyed said they are "not okay" with targeted advertising because they do not like having their online behavior tracked and analyzed. </p><p>Another issue with targeted advertising is the lack of 'new' advertisements of goods or services.
