Gmail has the best spam trap in the world, in my experience. Not even a single spam message has escaped it for me.
However, Gmail does read all messages and shows the relevant ads based on the keyword in the mail.
But its unlikely that they'd send a spam mail on the same keyword, because they have already shown you an ad and a link on that keyword.
I guess, you have a spyware which is reading everything you type and sends you mail based on that. Or simply, its a coincidence that it happened.

I get lots of spam but never in my inbox so I never notice it, I cant see why Google would do this or what they would have to gain.
