Google and its ads
Hey everyone! This is Colin from good ol’ therapy in the making! And as you can imagine I’m here for Free For All Friday. Who doesn’t love a free for all? Any kind of free for all. No wait, that came out dirtier than what it sounded like in my head.
So, as some of you may know, this is the first time I’m taking part in FFAF. In fact it is the first time I’m opening my own blog for FFAF. So once you’re done reading and commenting here, why don’t you come over my blog and show my guest bloggers and me some comment love? You can even guest blog yourself if you want!
I use Firefox and I have a nasty habit. I no longer use the address bar. I type almost everything into the Google search box and sometimes even URL’s! Apparently I am not the only one that does that, I read somewhere that it is common and people use Google as an entry point to sites they want to visit even if they know the address.
A few minutes ago I tried to google free for all friday hoping to find other blogs that are participating this week but I pressed return before tying “friday”. As expected most of the results where not related to FFAF but what surprised me were the sponsored links on the side.

I took my Google Adwords Advertising Professional exam almost a year ago and I remember most of the rules regarding ad copy. I remember very well that this sort of thing was not allowed…
Have you noticed a decrease in the quality of Google AdWords ads recently too, or is it just me? Do you use the google search bar of your browser as an address bar too or am I addicted?
