I dislike adverts and so use an internet browser called Opera. With the AdBlock, Ghostery and ContentBlockHelper addons installed I can visit most websites and receive very little in the way of adverts.
I believe Firefox offers similar adblocking addons if you prefer a choice.

On the internet, how does one distinguish between an ad that popped up in your browser history or a site that you visited?

A pop up does as described, it pops up whilst viewing a web page. An advert is usually displayed just as a web page is opening.
Use a program like Adblocker to stop that from happening.

Blocking Unwanted ADs with Internet Explorer 8

IE 8 has some nice new features to help you stay safe and keep out those unwanted adverts.

You could of course just use the "IN PRIVATE" browsing option in the safety tab.

Whilst there take a look at the "In Private Filtering settings"

In there you will find a list of recently visited sites and you can select which ones get blocked or not.

Almost anything that says google syndication, google analytics, doubleclick, quantserve, addthis, can be blocked.

I would suggest do a couple at a time and browse normally for a few days. If you have any issues remove one of the blocks and check the site that had issues works OK before adding any more blocks.

Its a process of learning your browser to stay safe and keep you safer.

Blocking AD type cookies can on occasion speed up browsing as it no longer has to wander around the INTERNET to find the advert it wants you to see.

Rate this please.

How can l renew my kijiji Ad

If you are a registered user all you have to do is wait and they will email you when your advert is about to expire.
You cannot renew an advert until that point from my experience.
If you want to relist your advert (before it expires) so it will be on the first page again... you have to delete the one you have listed and start over. And your new advert has to be different or they will not let you post the new one.
At least that is the way it used to be, it has been a while since I have tried that trick myself.
