Google's Text-based Ads
I do pay attention to Google’s text-based ads – I see them everywhere I see them on Google Maps, Google’s search results pages, Gmail and more. I don’t take most of them too seriously as they are often irrelevant to my life and for marketing segments that do not have anything to do with me. However, Google does attempt, when they can, to use what they know about you to effectively place the correct ads with different people. On Gmail, there are commonly advertisements for things that I care about and local to my area – something the Google has used to target consumers on a very individual basis. I believe that Google is doing the right thing by using sponsored ads. First of all, I respect this as a good business move as I do with just about everything that Google does. This program brings in ample revenues for Google and helps small business people to market very easily. Anyone can market on these tools and this platform Google has provided hits just about as much of one’s target market as is conceivable possible in this situation. This gives people a chance to market to their target consumers without spending the lucrative marketing money that it costs to advertise on a similar large scale as on TV, in the newspaper or a magazine, or on other websites.

I think they're easy enough to ignore, but it's rather cool, one has to admit, how they're targeted to what you're after...
