I would assume they’ve been doing this for a long time. Lots of companies do stuff like this. If you’re against this then you have to be against basically all search ads. You can go search for Venmo or Cash App now and you’ll see ads for some other banking products.
- Apocryphon 6y agoIt definitely seems like a policy that should be reexamined. If you're a newcomer to a market and a big entrenched player buys up all of the search ads with your product's name, how can you hope to be discovered via SEO?
- minhazm 6y agoAds are pretty clearly highlighted as such at the top. If your SEO is good then you will still be at the top, just below the ads. I do agree that a lot of these companies do have the ability to use advertising to crush their competition, but I’m not sure what the solution is to that.
- mxxx 6y agoYeah everybody here is up in arms because it's FB/Signal but this is as old as the hills. Search for any major product and most of the ads will be their competitors. Not sure why this is a big deal. Is it good? No. Is it new? Not particularly.
