marketing research for internet adverts.....

[steptoe]

there must be some real indepth consultation into marketing on the internet, getting the ads to have some relevance to the search topic, the demographics of the viewer......

While researching where a certain unmentionable car (sacre bleu) brake light switch is, the first line of advertising is for a gyneacologist offering various forms of * cough * surgery * cough *.

How probing is market research to suggest that if you own, drive or really trying to repair a Fwench car that you, or your partner may be interested in such surgery as well !!

I find it funny since I know someone with a new-ish Citrus and guess what failed when they tried to plug a trailer in? Yep, the rear brake lights, all of them...along with the light selector switch on steering column, controller which receives signal from the electric window switches....all from connecting a trailer

Anyway I use ad-block so I see no ads anywhere

Internet adverts - loads of money in this, not just in the actual advertising but in having the number of "hits" so that it loads at the top of the search engine page. A mate of mine is trying to get his new website up there when you type in the most relevant contents - how hard is it to find "arlberg minimart mt hotham"?? There's not a lot of other places that has that exact listing...

Then there's the spamming of adverts that have nothing to do with the search - its the same with ebay where they say that you're not to use item names that are not anything to do with your listing - you know the one's "subaru WRX, not mitsubishi etc etc"

It's also costly! I think I've mentioned that...
