It's about the biggest ads pusher and cross sites profiler you can find. 
But just that line is not quite enough, it also use those:
ads1.doubleclick.net
ads2.doubleclick.net
ads3.doubleclick.net
ads4.doubleclick.net
ads5.doubleclick.net
ads6.doubleclick.net
ads7.doubleclick.net
ads8.doubleclick.net
ads9.doubleclick.net

It also use the same with .com.

Adblock filters it as *.doubleclick.*
