I've noticed that on most sites, the ads reflect something I've already used a search engine for.

What surprises me is that you still SEE the ads. Most people block them out. I never give the ads a second look.

You guys realize that you put in your birthdate when you register right? Are you registering as someone over 18? That might change which ads you get and which ones are filtered out.
Ads are based on what you view throughout the internet. Ever wonder why some kids get toy ads while other people who browse get Viagra ads etc?
Everything is recorded and then they show you what you have been browsing, usually in a specific category, eg. Sex, Games, MMOs.

Neopets is still a kids site, despite it being around for a long time now. Yes, long-time users will have evolved, but new younger users will have joined. You only have to look at the changes they've made around the site - i.e. neoboards, to show that the site is still primarily aimed at kids.
I don't see the ads because of premium but prior to logging in etc I tend to only see child-friendly adverts suggesting that age may be a factor, as well as previous browsing history etc.

maybe they thought through about who has more buying power who doesn't the kids doesn't have any buying power so they decide to target adult
