Thought-provoking
Interesting read. I am one of the advertisers you note. We have top organic and paid search listing for a number of keywords (through a number of PPC services, that brings up a question how may I else be throwing away my money with these services? where are the duplications? where may my ad money be spent better?). In my opinion, marketing is about first and foremost exposure. Get yourself in front of your target audience as much and as often as possible. Then ensure you have quality inside of your ads, whichever shape / format they may come in. I believe a number of advertisers have this mindset, going back before the ages of search engines. Soooooooo, after all that it may not be a waste. That's my two cents... Webmaster K
Mindset encouraged
Search advertising companies want advertisers to believe a top five (or higher) organic rank is not enough for a brand. Imagine if every brand with a top organic listing dumped paying for that brand keyword as an ad trigger.
I think the problem stems from Google permitting competitive keyword buys. Yahoo doesn't permit buying someone else's trademark, and Microsoft is going to restrict that if they haven't already.
If Google were to give up allowing competitor keyword buys, I can only imagine what their next earnings call would sound like. Ka-ching isn't the sound that comes to mind, either.
