Will likely have no effect on anything. I hate firefox. Its sooooo slow...

In other news, yesterday a client emailed me a news article about bing introducing ads in windows desktop search, asking if we should maybe start a bing campaign to take advantage of it. I lol'd, then told him its worthless .

"88% of Mozilla’s income came from Google"
I'm guessing now that google has a a 60% domination in the search engine market it decided this deal wasn't worth it anymore.

Interesting to see how this goes, even though it's a small easy reversible change i suspect this will affect mozilla badly.

LOL...


Mind you, I had a client and we were running AdWords ads. Landing page issues meant we had to pause campaigns until we got them compliant again. In the meantime, we imported the campaigns into Bing Ads, where we got some nice volume and seemed to get a better conversion rate. Mileage will vary, but seeing how Microsoft try to make it as easy as possible to clone your AdWords campaigns to Bing, it's like a no-brainer to just try it imo.

Ughhh dont get me started on this crap. Google really pisses me off in that regard lately. So much headache with a few clients.
