advertising for a media publisher.  I haven't seen the Go Daddy
ad and I don't know how reddit runs and sells it's advertising
inventory.  But it is possible that you've been re-targeted and
served the Go Daddy ad through tracking cookies.  Essentially, a
lot of websites and publishers sell off some of the inventory
they have to a network. If a bunch of sites do this, there
becomes an incredibly large network across the net where you can
be followed and re-targeted.  Often you are re-targeted because
you landed on a website - say Go Daddy's or one where Go Daddy
was specifically sponsoring because they felt that you were in
their target market, and now because of the cookie data they
have on you, they can follow you across websites that are part
of the networked inventory and continue to serve you the same
ad.  That's why you always see ads for things you've been
looking at online.
