Can’t believe they get any money from all the pop up and ads. Who’s clicking on them? I’m certainly not.
“Can’t believe they get any money from all the pop up and ads. Who’s clicking on them? I’m certainly not.”
indeed. isn’t that the fricking truth!
almost NONE of the ads go to websites that have better deals than what the google search itself yields. i gave up years ago clicking google ads for that reason.
however, i think it’s possible that such ads DO help small businesses that offer an exceptional product or service in a LOCAL area IF the ad costs are properly controlled with a proper set of keywords and a proper geographical constraint.
i set up a simple website, simple SEO stuff, and a google ad campaign for a local propane bottle-filler who otherwise had zero web presence. After a couple of years I mentioned it was important to make sure his domain and web hosting accounts were kept renewed, and he was emphatic that no matter what, that they not be allowed to lapse. I took that to mean that all the work I did for him was quite successful.
