’16 highly dubious online advertising placements’ – ‘Econsultancy’ Blog
The latest ‘Econsultancy’ blog post is titled “16 highly dubious online advertising placements”.
Chris Lake says, “Contextual advertising has been a big hit over the past half a decade or so, though I wonder whether it suffers from a kind of shotgun approach, whereby you can simply choose a bunch of keywords, pull a lever, and then put your feet on the desk.
Sure, this is typically better than blasting out your message without any concerns about targeting, but it’s almost too easy to reach the masses, and you can end up with egg on your face. Context isn’t always a positive thing.
As with all advertising, the creative elements of a campaign are meant to stand out for the right reasons, yet every year we see amusing new examples of contextual advertising that’s gone wrong in some way”.
