I mean, has anybody read the Spotrunner fine print besides me? No 60 second ads permitted. They keep the ad you paid for and make you buy air time only from them. They do not permit you to air your own ad with some other agency. They will not give you a web version to put on your own web site or to send out freely via e-mail. Spotrunner will resell your ad to your competition if you stop airing with them. They charge more money for air time than just about anywhere. And they will not air an ad nationally. If Google wanted to get in gear they should buy Spotrunner's largest direct competitor, the semi-automated ad agency Cheap-TV-Spots.com because Cheap TV Spots does everything that Spotrunner should, but doesn't. And Cheap TV Spots does it faster, better and cheaper. Maybe Google or Yahoo should buy them both and combine them into one functioning unit. Recently heard or read that CheapTVSpots.com was raising capital to attempt a bid for Spotrunner. Maybe that is Google's real strategy. Wait a bit, then they could buy one and get them both. That way quality TV and web ads could easily air concurrently. Total one-stop media saturation. Google needs a qualified partner, but Spotrunner is not it.

I suppose that's what makes viral ads that much better. People will naturally forward a good advert to friends and colleagues if it is clever or funny. Take Honda's Cog ad for example, that was clever and innovative and spread like wild fire when it was aired on TV and the net. For my own site, www.2talkabout.com/Honda, we get our majority of adverts from google. Agreed Google ads are getting everywhere nowadays. I suppose that’s what makes viral ads that much better.

Yahoo will serve graphic ads on eBay’s site, which is interesting only in that most people wouldn’t think of eBay as being an important advertising play.

The two companies are also looking into Pay-Per-Call advertising, though that much-hyped space appears to be languishing. It’s understandable that both eBay and Yahoo fear Google, and want to strengthen their position, but that won’t happen from trading ads back and forth. Just a thought, maybe they should try developing new products that are actually superior to Google’s.
