Location in ads/banners

For a long time I've seen ads on sites that show my location, for one reason or another. But now, instead Spartanburg, SC, they're now saying I'm in Asheville, NC. Does this have something to do with an ISP or something? O.o

No, you've been secretly moved to Asheville.

Right... This place out in the middle of nowhere looks a lot like Asheville. Where I live, Pauline, there might be a population of ten-thousand.

Your joke is weak, old man.

They probably check the location of your IP address. For example, my ISP is in Norfolk, but I'm in Williamsburg, so half the time the sites think I'm in Norfolk.
