Re: They can pick and choose whatever they want Guess I'm not the target demographic then. I actually think for myself.
If I want beer, seeing a Coke ad is not going to make me want a Coke instead.
If I'm in the mood for a Mountain Dew I'm not going to go for a Mello Yello because of a Coke ad.
If I want soda at home I'm going to shop on price and the house brands are quite good now. If they are running a deal on Coke I may buy that.
I'm also not going to go gaga over Superbowl ads...
I won't use GoDaddy for my domain stuff even though I love their ads.
I will never put a pair of Junky Skechers on my feet even though their ad was OK (and their shoes are rip offs of Nike's Free line).
Chrysler/Dodge tried to pull the American heartstrings (and somewhat offended me) even though they are not an American company any more and have not been for a long while. Yet they want to fool people into thinking they are.
I won't drink a Bud but loved their commercial. |

1 edit | It also isn't about individuals. It is about planting the thought in a percentage of the 50 million watching. You aren't ever going to get 100% of people to buy your product based on a single ad or a group of ads. They have to be inclined to purchase the product anyway and advertising entices them to follow through on that inclination.
Meanwhile I hate Godaddy's ads so much I moved my registrations to name.com.  I also saw the Jeep ad as pandering and gave me zero reason to consider buying a Jeep. They aren't effective ads and in 3 weeks no one will care because the content doesn't stick with the viewer. The Dodge buy was a good ad for the Farm Bill but not much else. |

You lost all credibility with that contradiction there. |

You lost all credibility with that contradiction there. Why? I love sexy ads as much as the next guy. My reason for not using GoDaddy is 2 fold:
1. They run their stuff on Windows/IIS and I refuse to patronize businesses that use Microsoft technology on the Internet if I can avoid it.
2. They are more expensive than my current host.
If they were cheaper and used Apache on Linux I'd probably use them, because of their ads. |

Forgot about that. So no I wouldn't use them no matter what. But do like their ads. |

My GoDaddy account is hosted on a Linux server running Apache and PHP and has been for about 10 years. It's $4.95/mo. I don't see how it could be much cheaper.

I avoid sites with .asp/.aspx in them like the plague they are. |
