I think people also underrate how much this varies. Our company has paid $50-$100 per click in the past for certain search terms.
Letting a CTO at a tech company opt out of ads for like $50 is a sucker deal for Google.
- sflicht 5y agoWhat was the ratio of clicks to impressions for those super expensive terms?
- lelandfe 5y agoGoogle had a service, now discontinued, that allowed a user to enter into those bids, setting a monthly limit on ad spend. It was for external sites using AdSense, not Google Search, but I thought it was an amazing idea. > if the user wins the auction, [a thank you message] is placed in the ad space, and the cost of the ad is deducted from the user's monthly contribution. If the user does not win, the winning ad is displayed as normal and the user pays nothing for that slot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Contributor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Contributor
- Nextgrid 5y agoHow many CTOs out there don't run ad-blockers though? I'd argue that anyone who doesn't run those shouldn't be let anywhere near a CTO position.
- lukeschlather 5y agoMaybe using a search engine that's trying to sell your attention to the highest bidder is a sucker deal for a CTO.
