Today I went to Google to look up something I am thinking about buying. I clicked through and read some info on a couple of websites.
Now, surprise surprise, I am seeing banner ads for that exact same item pop-up on Facebook.
Someone somewhere knows what I searched for, and is now trying to sell it to me. Through an affiliate link too.
Scummy? or Smart? I'm not sure which...

That's called remarketing. Usually pay per impression not pay per click.
Personally I find it creepy and 99% of the time I am be marketed to after I already bought the product. I have never looked for something and was remarketed at a lower price.
To make matter worse I have looked up items with my affiliate links and found myself remarketed to later and KNOW I would not get credit for the sale.
