I don't know if this is where you saw it or not, but I'm most entertained by the fact that there is a Timesert Google ad on the page here.

The ads scan the page for keywords - look in all the other threads.

I know they scan, but this time its not Timesert.
Its "Threaded Inserts" "Helicoil Insert Info" "WTI Wire Thread Inserts" and "Thread Repair"
Doesn't usually turn out working quite that well
