That's a non sequitur. Online advertising could be huge because of an irrational belief that it works. You conclusion needs much more support.
- Retric 8y agoSuggesting that people and companies are independently and collectively spending 1 trillion dollars for zero results without any form of verification is absurd. But, if you really want to go there. Plenty of companies only advertise online and 'magically' end up making money selling real products to real people.

Plenty of companies only advertise online and 'magically' end up making money selling real products to real people. Then quit the hand-waving and provide convincing proof. Also address the issue of bot-farms and other kinds of fraud that could cloud the metrics.
- always_good 8y agoDo you know how Adsense works? You pay for the click. You can then track them through your conversion process. You can trivially see if Adsense is making you money or not. Why do you think they are just CPM banner ads and speak with such authority on them here?
