The War on 'Free' Clicks: Think Nobody Clicks on Google Ads? Think Again
- jackkutilek 14y agoI wish this information wasn't in a huge, confusing infographic.
- andrenotgiant 14y agoOkay let's break this down: 1. Wordstream is a PPC (Paid Search) (SEM) service company in Boston 2. Wordstream concludes that Google is leading an " Organic Search Listing Smack-Down" and Paid Search is beating out Organic "2:1" for "Commercial Intent" searches. 3. Wordstream wants to market this message to prospective customers, customers with "Commercial Intent" if you will. 4. Wordstream decides to use no less than 3 of the most over-used SEO (ORGANIC) tactics to market this message: Tactic 1: Guest Blogging (on VentureFizz, BetaNews) Tactic 2: Infographic (http://www.wordstream.com/articles/google-ads http://www.wordstream.com/articles/google-ads) see the giant embed code with no less than three links back to Wordstream) Tactic 3: Over-Abundance of In-context backlinks: There are 14 links back to Wordstream in that one article. Very funny.
- pgrote 14y agoOdd. The infographic doesn't load in Chrome 20.0.1132.57 m on Win7. I thought it was AdBlockPlus, but when disabled it still doesn't show. It does load in Firefox 14.0.1 on Win 7.
- AjithAntony 14y agoI didn't know there was an infographic until i saw your comment. Disabling adblock in Chrome 20.0.1132.57 on win7 x64, shows it. Specifically the "EasyList" filter list. Edit: even more specifically, the img src was google-ads.png which matches EasyList's "/google-ads." filter
