This Week's Searching
Superbowl commercials were the top search words last week, according to Google's Zeigeist Index. Makes sense. I bet you did a little Super Bowl ad searching online for yourself...or, at least someone emailed you the links and made it easier for you.
Super Bowl ads cost $2.5 million for a 30 second spot. That cost isn't really for just for the ad time. It's to generate buzz so people can watch online and pass it along to friends. Advertisers aim to entertain and connect the products with customers. Having customers distribute the ads for free is exactly what they want. THAT is modern viral buzz marketing.
And to post them onto blogs (Burger King, you can thank us with a Whopper coupon).
