Enemies on the Page: Google Ads

by Tim Berry on January 7, 2009

Harumph. Google ads. This is a blog post reviewing Business Plan Pro; a nice review. I appreciate the comments. But, thanks to the magic of Google ads, it’s surrounded by ads for schlocky business plan templates. Dumb ads, making dumb promises.

For example: “download” a winning business plan? That’s nonsense. If it was already written, it’s not going to win anything but your wasted money. Or, worse yet, a business plan costing $18.95 that claims to be “investor/bank ready. Full research. Automated 3-year financials.” Does anybody buy that pitch?

And this stuff is interleaved into an article reviewing serious business planning software. Sigh … brave new world.
