Hipstamp sellers' stamps show up on almost all my searches for ANYTHING on Google?
All of a sudden it seems like any Google search (ie recipes) there are Hipstamp sellers stamps popping up. 1) why/how, 2) is this some advertising those specific sellers are paying for?

Maybe they’ve tweaked the algos; I haven’t seen any of my own stamps pitched to me in a while.
BTW, I zapped all cookies and they are not popping up. Thanks for the advice of George.
Note, though, Bob's point. Others are seeing different popups than the ones you were seeing. For example, if I looked at 'stamp x' in your store but didn't buy it and moved on, my popups would include your 'stamp x,' in a way advertising your stamp by reminding me of my interest. I find them annoying as well, but I suppose they do help in some sales.
By any chance, when you were listing your stamp, did you look at the other seller's listing to use as a comp for setting your price? If so, that's why you ended up with his (or her) popups.
It makes me want them more.
I'd say it's works for the intended purpose.
