    Relevance (to me):

Not that funny results this time.

Some random remarks:

• same ads keep repeating most of the time (tried to spot different ones)
• most of the ads are about 1 cent auctions, loans or stuff like that (which is not suprising)
• quality of translation depends, a lot. Some are better than others.
• some of the ads were perhaps more relevant this week?

Till next week!
