Why did Google add “Horor” as Sponsored Links for a Swedish Dating site ?

January 26th, 2007 by elias.kai

I have read on some online and offline newspapers some critics against Google in Sweden. WHAT was the Reason behind having the word HOROR on a dating site sponsored link ?

Google had some sponsored links AdWords or what is called in swedish Sponsrade Länkar for their client in Dating sector: sites are Meetic.se and Motesplatsen.se.

Whenever Internet users were searching for the word “horor” (Horror in english), two dating sites appeared on the right or top side of Google.se

Google Sverige presschef appraised the answer with apologizes to the concerned swedish market and the 2 dating sites meetic.se and motesplatsen.se

In My opinion, it can be a human editing and/or robot error for this reason:

There was a popular sex horor forum in sweden that still positioned number one in Google.se when you search for “horor”. This site contained these words Porr, horor och feminister and was or used to be on adsense program or had a popular search term as its name horor.
So Google robot picked up a popular search term related to a sex forum and placed it as Title sponsored links for their respective cliens. This process was automated.

MSN Messenger goes with Sponsored Links

January 3rd, 2007 by elias.kai

MSN Messenger has included a Search bar function enabling users to search information whwnever they write on their msn messenger.

MSN Messenger used to have small banners on the bottom of each msn buddie but now it has a picture banner that leads you to msn Live search sponsored links.

I do not know how much conversion advertisers can expect from this sponsored links model or any other add your link submission.

Place: Msn Messenger
Banner: Picture banner
Leads: Leading users to MSN Live Search full of sponsored textual links for many and not one exclusive advertiser.
