Hilarious or Sad Marketing?

0  comments

You know how Ebay and others try to corner every single search in Adsense by taking whatever keyword you type in and creating an ad for it?

I was just at Technorati looking at al Zarqawi related blog posts in latest news.  Here is Ebay’s ad that popped up on the search results:

Looking for Zarqawi Collectibles? Find exactly what you want today.  www.ebay.com

Seriously, this advertising tactic might need to be updated to avoid such incredibly stupid mistakes.

At first I laughed at the failure of the system, but now that I have had time to think about it, it reminded me how sad and soul-less machine marketing can be.
