"“If Google wanted to do this, they could do it themselves,”
How viable is this long term as a company? Does AdGrok use Google's API?
I'll admit, the Adwords interface leaves a bit to be desired, so this should be interesting.
- riffer 16y agoGoogle is pretty good at blocking out upcoming competitors. But do you ever get the feeling that Google knows too much about you? Has a little too much control? I use Google as my primary search, I let them read me email thru Gmail, watch my browsing thru Chrome, etc. But those are all privacy related things, not financial concerns. If I was spending a lot of money on online advertising, I would prefer to use a platform other than AdWords. AdGrok should be ok.
- dpapathanasiou 16y ago"Google is pretty good at blocking out upcoming competitors." Your comment made me think about the last time I tried logging into AdWords using Firefox. The css file seemed missing or broken, and the form wouldn't submit. Then I switched to Chrome, and everything was ok. Not sure if that's deliberate on Google's part.
- buro9 16y agoYou probably had AdBlock installed and enabled.
- dpapathanasiou 16y agoYes, that makes sense. I do have AdBlock on my FF install, and I've gotten so used to it, I never notice it in the background.
