An email with Microsoft / App in the subject line generated the following Adwords ad from Microsoft’s Bing no less…
Bing Search Local – Oklahoma City Mediterranean Restaurants. Reviews & Maps Of Local Restaurants
To both Microsoft’s and Google’s credit, the email body contained the word “Apple” which I guess could loosely be construed to mean… “I am hungry and I want to eat Mediterranean food?!”
One problem though – in this particular case the keyword “Apple” referred to computers not fruit.
Both search media and search advertisers still have further to go before they can predictively decode and match which context determines where their keyword ads will be shown.
