Heh, good point. Google advertises on Google but I have hardly seen a Google ad outside of a page that displays Google ads. Disclaimer: I don't watch TV.

- mattmanser 12y agoGoogle did heavy advertising over here in the UK for Chrome. Billboards everywhere.
- codeulike 12y agoSaw adverts for Chrome browser on the Tube a few years back
- calvin_c 12y agoI recently started watching live TV through a digital antenna and SlingTV, and I've actually seen a handful of ads for Google. I've only seen one or two search ads, but a bunch for Android thought their new "Be different, not the same" campaign. Still, many more than I've seen for Facebook.
- evgen 12y agoThen you missed the massive TV campaign Google did last year telling you how they were going to track your child's life from conception to death. Uber-creepy.
- blowski 12y agoI've seen loads of Google ads - on TV, in the press, and especially outdoor advertising. It's typically conceptual stuff, about security, privacy, etc. In addition, I get a lot of direct mail with vouchers for using AdWords.
- pjc50 12y agoThere are TV ads in the UK for "Android", focusing on the diversity of devices you can get (as opposed to the Apple monoculture)
- tomp 12y agoI think advertising makes more sense for Google - they have a number of products, and are always releasing new ones, so advertising is as much branding as it is informing. For Facebook, however, it's just branding - everybody knows what Facebook does (and the ads are just that - "keep friends").
