Coronavirus climbs up keyword block lists

• cableshaft 7y ago
  Joke's on them. Articles on the coronavirus are 90% of the articles I consume right now.

  Is there any evidence that letting my ad appear next to an article about rising death tolls will eventually lead to decreased sales?
  • rsynnott 7y ago
    Depends what sort of ad it is, probably. It's _definitely_ not something that big brands would want to be associated with.
  • tyingq 7y ago
    For some specific queries, it seems like it would. "Cruise coronavirus" doesn't need ads. I imagine the effective CPA is pretty bad.
  • cableshaft 7y ago
    I'm sure there are some sales copy or products that could be ill advised to be beside them, like "These deals are totally SICK!" or "Enjoy a Carnival Cruise today! Our prices have never been this low!"
  • hyperdimension 7y ago
    "Find Coronavirus Risk along with millions of other items on eBay!"
    • whatshisface 7y ago
      But would that actually hurt eBay, or is it an imagined "honor" thing?
• emptyfile 7y ago
  Really. THIS is the coronavirus news that makes it to the front page??
  • cableshaft 7y ago
    Must be a slow news day for coronovirus (not really).
