Bing: When Banner Ads Go Bad
I saw this banner ad for Microsoft’s Bing on Chow.com.
It asked for my zodiac sign. So I entered “Cancer” and hit the little magnifying glass.
It popped up a window with the search results in Bing.
But it gave me cancer cancer. Not horoscope cancer.
Google 1, Bing 0.

Makes me think about how you never see a”proud parent of a cancer baby” t-shirt. A proud parent of a leo baby sure, but proud parent of a cancer baby no.

Too funny. They maybe should have put in a PPC campaign for the zodiac signs or something! I’m sure they (being microsoft) could have pulled some strings at Bing (which they own!) to make this thing work! geeesh!
