It was probably a Google Ad Sense ad. Google collects data on you, from your searches, the sites you access, etc, and base the ads they show on that. The fact that you did a search on it a moment before was enough for Google to say "This person wants anything being sold that's related to that search term!" I see it as being quite privacy invasive but Google basically owns half the net so there's very little real getting away from it <_<

Aye, I know @.@
But still it made me freak out in the first moment. Better being safe than sorry too xD
On my Comp I use AdBlock etc., so I don't see stuff like that at all. Wish I could use it on my phone too. (Even though I only use Chrome on my phone and Firefox on my Comp)
