Chrome Ads on New York Times
Saturday, May 9th, 2009Paulius mentioned in his last post about targeted ads. The topic is about strange ads and strange tactics. As we know Chrome is the most advertised Google’s product . But Google doesn’t finish to advertise it. Famous bloggers were shocked by the giant Chrome banner inside NY Times online version !
Does this means, that Google is searching for new users ? Or maybe Chrome is not so popular as expexted ? Onestat says that in March, 2009 approximately 0.67-1.76% of different internet visitors from different countries used Chrome. I think it is quite a little piece of this market where for example appr. 70% of visitors use IE. It may be the start of continiuos strategy to grow Chrome usage. Maybe this hand-painted style of the videos add social sense to the ad and attract bigger attention.
However let’s enjoy and watch these strange Chrome videos placed in Youtube:
