Google Playing Games
I had a conversation with a client today CaddyForACure.com and during the discussion I stumbled across a rather discriminatory practice by Google with their Pay Per Click marketing.
It appears that the problem is based on browsers.
I conducted a search for a famous PGA Golfer – Sergio Garcia with Firefox Version 3.6.2. The Natural Result came up but no PPC ads – my client has an PPC ad with the keyword Sergio Garcia. Even after refreshing the Firefox browser 10 times – still no PPC ad.
Then I tested the Microsoft Browser version 8 and ran the same query for Sergio Garcia. The PPC ad for Sergio Garcia came up on the first try and every try there after.
Firefox:
Microsoft:
Try it yourself. Why does the Firefox Browser not see the same results as the Microsoft Browser? Is it some sort of discriminatory practice, or a software glitch?
