 | View Full Version : More tasteful advertising.... mdrussell 01-01-2003, 08:11 PM http://www.google.com/search?q=voxtreme&num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&filter=0 Very thoughtful of that adword advertising. Please don't hesitate to make them spend money on it though - click the link to their site! phpcoder 01-01-2003, 08:14 PM Shows how much they love you :) Sad they do that stuff though :( Reality Hosting 01-01-2003, 08:25 PM I clicked it! ThePrimeHost 01-01-2003, 08:27 PM They did the same thing to MCHOST. Interesting marketing ploy. I guess that means you are well known? Pilgrim 01-01-2003, 08:37 PM Originally posted by Reality Host I clicked it! Won't help much I think. Since this is probably a low value keyword they're paying cents instead of dollars per click. Reality Hosting 01-01-2003, 08:44 PM You should buy adwords for "bent axis" :) Chicken 01-01-2003, 09:10 PM I'm wondering if it is just a keyword return based on other factors aside from the actual word searched for. What I mean is, if searching for "voxtreme" pulls up your site, Google reads your meta tags (or something) and determines that the site is about hosting (for example) and then pulls up a sponsor based on that. Could be anyhow...

Could be anyhow... It'd be a cool idea, and GoogleLab's "sets" beta shows that they could do it... but no, AdWords doesn't work that way. Anyway no AdWords listings are showing for the linked search right now, so apparently they pulled it -- either permanently or temporarily. ChickenSteak 01-02-2003, 03:44 AM I see it in the way as advertising is advertising, they shouldn't be bashed for using usefull techniques :D. *prepares for flames* *yawns 2:45am* ATST 01-02-2003, 08:45 AM What I find offensive (and deceptive) is how they describe themselves: --------------------- Sponsored Links Looking for httpme? Better than httpme. Host unlimited websites, private label, free trial w.w.w.bentaxis.com ---------------------- Advertising on search pages is one thing, but saying they are better than the host you were looking for is just plain dishonest. How can they know they are better than another host? tazzy 01-02-2003, 09:36 AM Better than HTTPme , MCHost and Voxtreme. Hmmm... :rolleyes: ChickenSteak 01-02-2003, 04:28 PM ATST I agree with you there :). chet 01-02-2003, 05:12 PM If the ad makes a negative mention of your site, complain to google and they might take it down. They have a very strict policy on "negative" ads. Chet Aussie Bob 01-02-2003, 10:02 PM Originally posted by RossMAN Damn that Bob sure does get around, doesn't he? :wavey: The empire is growing.

NexDog 02-20-2003, 10:48 AM Thread resurrection - my favourite. Andrew 02-20-2003, 10:50 AM Especially since BentAxis just went belly up. :) CobaltConn 02-20-2003, 10:53 AM oops didn't even notice the old date--was looking up "advertising" related threads that's funny :) NexDog 02-20-2003, 10:57 AM Well, funny for you maybe. My pet hate. ;) CobaltConn 02-20-2003, 11:00 AM no--funny that they went belly up |
