I've sent a note to our ad traffic manager to notify the client, thanks for letting us know!

People will "learn to spell correctly in ads" when no one pays attention to the misspellings in ads. :wht:

I think creative typos is the way to go.

Maybe it is a fully managed PR stunt. :D

I always wonder whether these mitakes are actually mistakes. :erm:

Manged: Refers to anything that is mangled or damaged, usually beyond repair.

THAT is not the type of creative mistake I would use to describe my services!

Fully Manged VPS :rofl:

Sure it is. There are that many companies using creative mistakes these days, The Fully Manged VPS Company had to take the concept a little further to get us talking. :) Ok... yeah, that really isn't the type of creative mistake I'd use either.

It's been up for days, hopefully you guys didn't just notice it today?
I've been slapping my forehead wondering what sort of morons release this stuff every time I see it.

Nothing like good free pr like this thread. Come'on, you haven't heard of manged vps yet? And you all are supposed to be cutting edge, pft!

;)

We dont make our own ads, we pay for them. I failed to pick up on this mistake when I put the ad up. Someone pointed it out to me days ago as well but I forgot all about it by the end of the day. Doh!

Managed wouldn't of worked. They would of had to make the text smaller . ;) I doubt that a lot of these mistakes are on purpose but at the very least they do bring attention to the ad. Attention that i for one would not pay otherwise.

You misunderstood - its not a spelling mistake - its actually a new service.

Its server mangement service, a new and trendy service which is all the hype nowadays.

Ah - thats another way of looking at it - it might be a fully nintentional spelling mstake for more puclicity.
