The reason a Chase ad ends up on 400K sites is not because all of those sites are contextually relevant, it's because of retargeting. A user goes to chase.com, gets pixeled, and then shown retargeting ads on what ever websites they happen to visit that are hooked up to the exchanges. This could be either a good or bad thing.
