Contextual add fail

Comments 3
 

Arno just discovered a contextual ad fail. It is on the Netherlands' most popular news site nu.nl. The encircled ad is for a trip to Mexico. The article is about the Dutch government telling people not to go to Mexico. The ad is currently still live on the page, LOL. This is the second time we've discovered an ad fail too.

Haha, those are indeed some ad views definitely not worth their cost ;-)
But, as a side (con)textual fail, isn't ad just...ad, without added 'd'? ;-)

You are totally right, in my haste to post someone else's fail I seem to have made my own spelling fail. I've corrected it in the text but can not change the title I'm afraid.

Advertising sucks, as Adsense does.
