eBay pulls Google ads. Great - no more crap like this then!

June 16, 2007 11:03 am

So, eBay has pulled it’s google ads because ebay, owner of Paypal, is throwing it’s toys out of the pram because Google has a far superior (and MUCH cheaper) alternative to it’s Paypal service. The usual Google-hating pundits where wheeled on, talking crap as usual. Checkout Roger Kay, president of End-point Technologies, a US consultancy, said:

“Google’s move seems mean spirited and underhand and I am surprised it stooped so low. But I’m glad eBay stood up to Google, although I don’t think eBay really needs to worry. Check-point isn’t doing that well and PayPal is the dominant method.”

Check-point? What the hell is Check-point?! The great wiffling overpaid pillock

Tell you what, I’ll be glad to see the back of pointless ads like this (which I ALWAYS used to click on, as a matter of routine - a bit more for Google, and a pain for eBay if everyone clicked on their pointless/racist ads. Remember, these are GENUINE ebay ads)

We had a smile or two at eBay’s Adwords some time ago, until its humourless bosses removed some of the funnier keywords.
One Google search for “bollocks” returned 2 amusing results, you couldn’t make this up!
