27. Medium vs. Message
Dear Advertiser,

audience, please take immediate steps to improve the quality of your
campaign creative.
Sincerely,
Your faithful publisher

28. Can Publishers Give Advertisers An
Incentive To Make Better ADs?
Over time, the company also looked beyond click-through rates to rank
ads. Google now takes into account the “landing page” that the ad links
to, and, for example, gives low grades to pages whose sole purpose is to
show more ads. Soon, the loading speed of a landing page will also be
considered, Mr. Fox said.
These factors contribute to an ad’s “quality score.” The higher that score,
the less the advertiser has to bid to secure top billing. For example, an
advertiser who offers to pay $1 per click to attract those searching for
“vacation rentals in Colorado” may receive more prominent placement
than another who bids $1.50 for the same query but has a lower quality
score. An advertiser with a very low quality score may have to bid so
much for placement as to make it uneconomical.
Quality scores work as an incentive to advertisers to improve
their ads, which benefits users and, in turn, benefits Google ,
Mr. Fox said.

29. Advertising = Information
“Advertising will get more and more targeted until it disappears,
because perfectly targeted advertising is just information.”
