[News] Google AdWords campaign targeting http://www.squeak.org

[Klaus D. Witzel]

Thank you for the feedback, Matthias.

No, Google does *not* show ads according to any logical rules. They also  
do not show ads for so-called "phrases", unless you can and do invent such  
combinations as "smalltalk tutorial" and "squeak tutorial" in advance ! !!

But I have just entered both you phrases, they will show up in the stats  
in 1-3 hours from now.

While we are here, some figures at the time of this writing (campaign  
started 2.5 hours ago):

- total impressions: 577
- total clicks: 3
- total deactivated keywords (by them, no ads show up) but,
  they charged clicks anyways at highest CPC: 1
- total complaints filed with them (they acked receipt): 3
- total people found with similiar complaints: too many :(

P.S. smalltalk as keyword and squeak as keyword need no ads (at least none  
payed by me), they turn up at the most prominent place in the Google  
result page ;-)
