One of the best Adsense ads I’ve seen in a long time

This is just brilliant, spotted on Problogger.net, the famous and also outstanding blog managed by Darren Rowse:

I Love Darren Rowse

If I didn’t know about John Chow I would probably have clicked that one. Brilliant.

  10. He’s been doing that for a while. There are easier and cheaper ways to Instant Message people! I guess as a reader, it immediately stuck out for me the first time I saw it .. because it’s no longer a random ad anywhere on the planet, and (no-offense) worries about dubious clicking in India or other countries racking up the Adword charge account .. you pretty much get exactly what you are looking for with these type of ads - your target audience.

    Yes .. it was brilliant what John Chow did/does.
