It seems that as far as gmail is concerned, they're basing the ads on the content of the mails you're receiving. Whenever I switch to my spam folder to clear it out I get invited by Google to visit sites offering some really tasty Spam-based recipes. Right now the link says "Savory Spam Crescents". Google may be doing some smart stuff but they aren't that smart yet. I’ve noticed the same behaviour with Google’s targetted ads on gmail.
