This is Why Users Mistrust PPC Ads

I'm often a little wordy in my posts, so as an experiment, I'm going to try to get my point across almost entirely with screen shots (and Alt tags, of course). Here's the scene: I wanted to buy a Spirograph for my daughter. Let's see how that goes.

Step 1. The search:

This is going to be easy!

Step 2. The click:

Ah, good old Target. Trusted name, with stores nearby!

Step 3. The PPC landing page:

Hmmm. No Spirograph here.

Step 4. The internal search:

Probably just a mistake. I'll just use Target's internal search.

Step 5. The internal search result:

Target appears to know nothing about Spirograph.

Step 6. Checking Adwords policies:

Alt tag copy removed due to obscene content.

Step 7. Whatever.
