So I’m watching the Monday night line up on CBS, and I’m being assaulted by idiotic advertisements. There are a couple of commercials which have left me thoroughly befuddled..
Internet browser commercials.
Why on earth are Microsoft and Google both advertising their browsers? There is nothing to sell. Both browsers are free. Nevertheless I’ve seen commercials for both Internet Explorer and Chrome tonight.
Perhaps it has something to do with selling web browsing tendencies to advertisers, but I still just don’t see the point in advertising something that’s free.
Yeah, that doesn’t make much sense at all, other than maybe the fact that the more people they have using their product, free or not, the higher up their stock goes. If they can say their product is used by so many millions of people, the better their chances of selling advertising to companies gets. I guess. And, of course, my guess is as good as yours lol.
Yeah, I’m at a loss…
I can think of a number of small, free blogs they could advertise. Now THAT would be a PR coup. I’m just sayin’.
Sure, they can pimp my site if they wish.
I feel your pain…
