Sometimes, those ads are Google Ads and sometimes reflect what has been searched from your computer. Its uncanny (and sometimes scary) how accurate it can be. I've seen a few instances where it popped up ads for stuff I'd been thinking about but had not gone online for yet.

Other ads are by companies targeting specific demographics.
