Ultimately the conversion rate of spam continuously proves one of the worst advertising methods. They are ripping off companies they lie to about the conflated stats, and irritating the 80% of users that will never buy anything for various reasons.
It is going to be an interesting waste of resources. =)
- Obscurity4340 3y agoDid you mean conflated or inflated, I feel vaguely like it could go either way here
- Joel_Mckay 3y agoTricky question, but yes... The fact is the CTR for brand aware consumers will be negatively affected by burning goodwill with peripheral viewers. Thus, while increased paid impressions will be good for Google/Alphabet short term revenue, the actual consumer sales for advertisers will show a degraded campaign performance. It was called a contaminated lead pool if I recall. If 80% of traffic now associates a brand as a nuisance, than it will cost >12 times whatever people spent on the bad Marketing plan to attempt to "fix". Spectacularly bad business decision, as someone is letting the dog drive =)
