Binance pays Google Ads with the word "bitcointalk"

[joker_josue]

But @OP have you tried searching it again like maybe it was for limited time only that somehow caught your attention?

I've only seen it once, on different computers and different locations. I know of a Brazilian user where he also saw the ad two or three times. It was really some momentary or testing campaign, as I didn't see the announcement again until today.

I already thought about the possibility that the ad was from someone with an affiliate link. But, I have some doubts that this was it, because usually Google tries to control it well, to avoid false links.

If Microsoft partners with chatGPT or Microsoft buys it I think they will replace it with bing or they will make it a paid software.

ChatGPT was never meant to be a free service indefinitely. It's currently free because it's still in development and they are testing and configuring it to produce the best possible results. I think their plan was to keep it in this stage until March.

Google's search engine business will be harmed by that but I think not everyone will search on chatGPT or use it. Lets see what will be googles reaction.

Google has already reacted by instructing their engineers to focus on the creation of their own AI technology solutions. Considering what a budget this company has, it might become spectacular. More competition also equals to more choices for end-users and more affordable prices for businesses who can benefit from this tech. And with that, I don't mean posting with it on Bitcointalk.

Too little too late. Googles been winning almost 20 years, looks like they tripped on their own feet at the finish line and GPT has the lead now.

Aha! @Pmalek and PX-Z, I finally found the text I was looking for. Ok, CZ didn't refer to a comment made here. Rather, he made a screenshot of Satoshi's profile to make the tweet (through official Binance) and retweet (through his CZ account). Here it is. I guess the little mistake on my part earlier was me not even remembering that I actually responded in a thread that mentioned something like that. Well, better late than never.

Average monthly searches for the keyword bitcointalk in Portugal is between 100 and 1000.



But the average aound the world looks like to be between 10K and 100K.


I can confirm that the advertisement isn't visible in Germany and in Ireland (without VPN).
I think it doesn't worth for them to run advertisement on this keyword but I don't even see any ad on Bitcoin keyword too.

Chick the link, that makes them pay for it.

And this is what I do all the time when I see the advertisement of company that I am not grateful of

The volume of data that ChatGPT collects right now from the people, is just very valuable. It not only collects the data but also determines little psychology of people by letting people to ask AI any kind of questions.
Remember, when something is free, you are the product.

Although many today want to distance themselves from this forum, there is no way to escape it. It was in this forum that it all started and it was here that the creator of Bitcoin, I interact with the community.

That's why, even though other forms of communication are used today, he continued to think that this forum is the main one, to talk about these topics!

Thanks for the info. Despite that, it's a word with a low cost, so it's not hard to allocate a little money to use that word.

I have logged in permanently from my device but after it checked from two different devices and the top link was for the forum only and it didn't find any such advertisement from the Binance but agree with others that the results is based on the keywords through google search.

Same with me, I just believe that what happened to OP is the SEO of Binance went high and therefore tends to increase binance ranking that particular region.
Bitcointalk.org is a very strong url which cannot be easily displaced. In Gambling it rules. When you type any thing relating to crypto gambling.

Again I know CZ knows this forum and there's nothing so difficult for him to do. Everything to keep business going is possible to do.

It might appear unethical to members here but it is not illegal. Their advertising team must have coordinated well with the legal team before deciding keywords.

Today I saw the ad again. It's starting to be more regular, even though it only appears very punctually.



They really have some money invested in this word, and are taking advantage of the low cost of it.

For that low of a cost per click and low keyword difficulty, they probably have some "math" to it on their end for this investment.

There is no such rule restricting the usage of the keywords but you only have to pay for your ads to be shown if you have categorised under that category so whenever some user input the keywords in search bar the ads will be displayed to him if he/she has not enabled ad blockers.But if Binance is trying to attract people with such keywords then it's cheap tactics as they don't have any link up with forum and they are doing it for personal profits only which is unethical.

I don't know why others are not able to see that particular advertisement from Binance in your region or any other one and you are seeing it on regular basis? Have you tried it on any other device and still seeing that particular ad?

I haven't seen it on other devices.
So far I've only seen it on a device that I search for "bitcointalk" in anonymous browser mode, that is, it doesn't even keep browsing history. And what's also strange is that it only appears once. That is, when I repeat the search it does not appear again.

I know that someone has already seen it in Brazil. I'm from Portugal. Perhaps something to do with the language.

Like I said, I kind of expect companies to do this. It's probably a lower competition key word, and the forum still even today gets decent traffic. Not as much as "Bitcoin Reddit" I bet.

I suppose, but the advertising industry hasn't got the best reputation for ethics. Especially, certain industries. Although, I don't think they're doing too much harm. They're just trying to generate more revenue, and Bitcointalk as a keyword will have less competition. Although, I'd have thought they've got enough money to compete on the more popular keywords too.

I haven't used Google's search engine in a very long time now, but don't they sort of cycle through a bunch of adverts, so even if you did refresh it might not be the same advert displayed? That's usually, how adverts work across the board, I just can't remember how Google does it. So, you could just get unlucky, and not see that advert for a while, but they're still paying for it.

Does it get replaced by another advert when it's not there?

When refreshing the ad disappears. As I say, at most I only see this once.

In that place, only this Binance ad appears, when it does not appear, the place has no advertisement.
