Butthead Advertiser “Calls Out” Potential Customers? I Think Not.

Butthead Google AdWords Advertiser Patronizing Us

Online Marketing Hell - Real-World Advice for Online MarketersThe Advice

Do not patronize or “call out” your visitors like this butthead advertiser did.

Why?

Oh brother.  This one scrapes the bottom.  Just when I think I’ve seen the worst, it’s gets even worse.  That’s why Online Marketing Hell can never go out of business.  Too much subject matter out there.

So I was engaged in one of my favorite pastimes, finding out how much the ad network Kontera sucks (#1).  Up comes this shitty Google AdWords ad reading “Targeted WAP Advertising.” (#2)

WAP?  Mobile web banners, it turns out.  But that’s not the problem.  Problem is their landing page identifies my search and me through my IP.

They tell me (#3) that:

  • I searched for “kontera sucks”
  • I’m from the US
  • I did so on Google
  • From Internet Explorer
  • And it’s afternoon

Nice way to treat your customers.  I say:  Go to Hell.
