SEO.
- erikstarck 16y agoI should flesh this out a little bit... the original poster asked for a world without advertising and how a company would find customers in such an environment. My answer: SEO. A world without advertising is a world where search engine optimization rules supreme because you must be at the top whenever someone searches actively for the answer to a problem. Of course the whole proposition becomes nil once you realize that what we call advertising is really just suboptimally placed commercial information. We stop calling it advertising when it's relevant.
- vannevar 16y agoI would suggest that you would do even better if you came up at the top even for unrelated searches, because some small fraction of the people that you reach by doing so will become customers. Of course you'll annoy and inconvenience all the others but that's their problem, isn't it?
