Default Turntables at Superfi

If you go on to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and search for a title
thus:

http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=sex...+rock+and+roll

You will see an animated advertisement at the upper righthandside of the
page. There are various advertisers: one of them is the big online hifi
dealer Superfi.

The Superfi advert takes the form of 4 small pictures of hifi equipment at
a time, one of which enlarges before the whole thing shugs sideways to a
fresh batch. I was quite surprised to see how many turntables are
advertised and what percentage of the advert's screen time they take up -
occasionally all four pictures are turntables and frequently three of them
are. It is rare that at least one turntable isn't being displayed.

Try the link - refresh the page until you get the Superfi advert.

What is this telling us?



The issue of turntables and "specialist" audio retailers is
summed up in this clip.

I've only just seen your post so just these couple of days maybe the reason
I don't see the ad, but LG phones and holidays. But I suspect you may have
been the subject of Googles targeted advertising. If you used google to find
that site apparently it offers advertisers "targeting" based on a users
previous
search criteria. There are no secrets out there in the ether, my "targeting"
advertising seems to be viagra!

Seasons greetings.
