I have always been a big fan of Seth Godin (I have written it a few times in this blog).Why I like him so much?
The primary reason is - he is an idea man - he can think - he can add new perspective to a common story. And if you are smart enough, you can learn a lot from those interpretations.
In last couple of posts I have been talking about recent changes in online advertisement industry - mainly in the communication pattern. For example, you can take a look at these posts. What do you think? Did I write those posts just to share some information on recent changes?
Of course not! I was very excited the way things are changing in online advertising world. Advertisements are no longer viewed as a link where someone clicked by chance and without knowing it to be an advertisement.
Thus when Seth wrote the post titled “Ads are the new online tip jar“, I did not find anything special about that. I just took it like - the way online advertising is changing, Google AdSense is turning out to be a tip jar.
However, things were not so simple - a lot of people took that post word for word and started blaming Seth for promoting click fraud. Things turned so worst that Seth had to come out with a new post along with comment in another blog (read the first comment) to rescue his image.
What do you think guys?
Do you really think Seth just made a stupid comment?
Do you really think Seth was supporting click fraud?
Do you think advertisers should concentrate on product selling or brand development?
