Ask HN: Why Does Hacker News pay for Google Ads?
When I Google "Hacker News" the first result is sometimes a Google Ad for Hacker News. Why does Ycombinator take out ads for Hacker News if they are first in natural results already?
- Corrspt 8y agoHum, it could be to prevent that someone from having a place on top of the first result for hacker news.
- sctb 8y agoWe don't! Bizarre. Would you like to email us a screenshot to hn@ycombinator.com?
- sizei8ht 8y agoI'll email you a screenshot now. Just Googled and still seeing the ad.
- Daktest 8y agoIs it possible that some 3rd party unrelated to HN or YC is running these ads? Weird...
