No ads should be separate from everything imo. Drive and mail can each make money on their own. Search and AdWords are too tied however.

- weird-eye-issue 5y agoYou mean Google Ads - and no they don't have to be too tied together. What is so special about Google Search that Google Ads has to be owned by the same entity? I have websites with ads on them and I don't own the ad network either like 99.99999% of every other publisher out there
- easrng 5y agoBecause they sell specially-formatted ad spots that are supposed to look like results, not generic display ads.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoThey can continue to do that and it doesn't need to be part of the broader Google Ads entity that places ads on other websites and operates an even broader ad exchange Think about Pinterest, Quora, or FB, for example, they have "native ads" but they don't operate Internet-wide ad exchanges
- easrng 5y agoWasn't that what lettergram was saying? They specifically were talking about AdWords (regardless of whether that's the current name), which is Google's search ads system, not all of Google Ads.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoGoogle Ads is a single entity that does both and AdWords is now known as Google Ads. So what he was actually referring to is ambiguous...
