    "We're very happy with the response" - says spokeswoman of compnay advertised in google ads in newspapers... she is happy, google is happy, newspaper is happy, users are happy - AS USUAL :-) i love google

    And with 5% of AOL which owns Time Warner (which I believe owns CBS and CNN) they can now start AdTV - the circle of life continues. What will be fascinating is to see if the same model for search on the Intenet works on Radio and TV... my sense is that it will be different and other players will move quickly to counteract this threat.

    We certainly live in interesting times.

    Kay, I'm sure you love Google, but I bet the traditional advertising industry is somewhat less enamored with the company :-)

    And Peter, it will certainly be interesting to watch. If nothing else, there will be lots of upheaval, and that's often a good thing for a moribund industry.

    This is a Big Deal. No, make that a Huge Deal.

    How do you click on the Radio?
    Simple. Affiliate marketing has been doing this for years, with tracking built in. The radio announcer mentions a "deal" and to get that deal you must go to the website of the company and click on the "Heard about us on the radio?" link (or some other such link). Then you provide info on the radio personality and you get a deal.
