Word from the US, ebay returns to adwords

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Last week we had a massive buzz about ebay pulling its ads from google adwords..

Well it would seem that the ads are back on..

Of course not all webmaster/marketers are happy with them being back as the number of ad space take is massive..

Many reports say that the ads are back but not like before..

You used to be able to type things like “black men” and a ad used to come up saying “black men for sale” and stuff like that.. So is this the end of the studip ebay ads ?

This is one crazy story over @ thread watch.. and WMW

googles  checkout party here:

http://googlecheckout.blogspot.com/2007/06/let-freedom-ring.html

 Has been canceled!

Google was to promote google checkout at eBay live conference…

EBay has pulled all of its paid search ads from Google AdWords network in the U.S in an eyebrow-raising move likely to be interpreted in the industry as a sign of deteriorating relations between the two Internet giants.

Durzy characterized the decision to pull the U.S. Google ads as an instance in a continued experiment eBay does to determine the best allocation of its advertising and marketing budget.

But a source familiar with the situation said the move is an angry reaction by eBay’s management to Google’s decision to hold a protest party concurrent with the start of eBay Live, the company’s annual conference for merchants.
