So I am responding to a comment by my good friend Mike Wagner over the whole Bad Customer Service debacle foisted on Tim Jackson by GM Saturn when something catches my attention. Could it be? Yes ... it is ... unbelievable!
In one breath I am voicing my disapproval of Saturn, their brand and customer engagement strategy (employing zombies to deliver messages to their customers) ... and in the next I am SPRUIKING their wares. Sure enough ... there in my sidebar was an ad for the Saturn Vue (see it below).
Unbelievable!
So what ever you do, don't click on the Google Ads in my sidebar.
OK ... I promise I will try to let this one go now (or perhaps it is time to pass the baton to Angryman).
S.
I say click. Saturn has to pay for every one of them. I suspect the word "Saturn" is priced at a premium.

Yes, Gavin--if we were to click your Saturn ads, then you would get money and Saturn would have to foot the bill. So maybe it should be "Go ahead and click the ad, just don't buy the car!"

I think Cam and Sharon are on to something. THOUSANDS of us should click and then find the link to email them about their horrid customer service.
And then you can donate the money you make to starting an international office to take down Saturn!! Or buy a mango. ;)

That's funny, Cam, Sharon and Sean. If only I had "thousands" visiting here! As it turns out, the 20cents that I have earned from Google Ads is hardly worth the effort.
And I only put Google Ads on to learn about how it works ... and now that I know, don't think I need to keep it.
Right! That's it! It's coming down. Just need a few minutes over the weekend and it will be gone.

Gavin, the best thing about this post...you named me as your friend!
I'm so blind to ads that I didn't even notice you were running Google Ads. Maybe we you do have thousands of visitors and like me they just don't see them?
Keep creating...Surprises!
Mike
