In fact, I'm almost positive of it, because to show me "relevant" ads, they have to read my spreadsheet.
Its an algorithm that scans through the text to pick up keywords in order to target advertising. There isn't a person literally reading over your content.
Aside from your paranoia, why do you think your ideas are worth stealing anyway? I could care less if someone came across a document of my unpursued ideas. If they can execute them or germinate them better than I can, they deserve to have them.
They are worth a lot. I implement many of them. And thanks for explaining to me how the google ads work. I thought they had an army of people looking at all the web pages and clicking check boxes by the ads that should show there. It's amazing that they can automate something like that! I have new respect for google now. That's awesome!
