Commericial - The New MSN

Anyone seen the new MSN commercial? Say one on Fox while watching Hannity and Colmes. It aired at about 8:52PM CST. Short, sweet and too the point.

That is one thing I have not seen from Google yet (or at least I do not think so). I have seen Yahoo commercials, ebay commercials, now MSN, etc.. No Google. Wonder when they will do TV ads, or if they will find that they have to?

 

I expected it and heard about it but haven't seen it yet. It sounds like the Microsoft marketing machine is starting up.

 

I haven't seen any yet, but I'll be keeping my eyes open. I even heard that they would have ads running during the superbowl. Should be interesting to see.

 

Yeah, they could have a commerical with someone doing a "google", oops.. I mean an "msn" search for "wardrobe malfunction"

I don't think they need any commercials.

 

Not at the moment, they don't. But, these things can change!

 

I cant wait for that advertising giant to kick in. I can see it now for this as a commercial.

Buying a home computer- $1500 Dollars

Paying to have someone build you a website - $3000 dollars

Going to google to search for your own website and cant find it and then seeing an MSN commercial for their search engine and finding your website-

PRICELESS

 

Good one

Go Microsoft!

 

LOL Nice one.

 

It's funny, that's exactly what I thought when I saw the commercial last night on the SciFi channel. Competition is good, and I think Microsoft is probably the only tech company out there with the name recognition AND the money to take google on. I hope MSN search gets real big. Not becasue I'm partial to microsoft, but becasue I'm ranking really well over there.

 

After seeing the commercial, I think it was very good. Right to the point. The first part of it is a little hard to explain, but what it goes to is a nice, slick image of a search bar (which looks really good, much better than what they're actually using) in the middle of the screen with just a white background. Somewhat google-esque. I like it a lot better than the other current Microsoft commercials. (No butterfly costumes in sight!)

 

true. no company is so safe that they dont need to advertise. Its real easy to fall asleep while you are at the top and wake up to find yourself in second place.

 

Google probably won't do commercials, they make a point that they have never advertised (which, is bs, adsense has google ads all the time) and all their traffic was WoM.

 

Anything like this http://search.msn.com/

 

Nope, not quite.

As I remember, they just had the search bar and the "Search" button, nothing else.

 

I'll tell you what, aside from my #2 ranking for : http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=recliner&FORM=QBRE MSN has put together a pretty competitve search.

 

Hmm, checked my stats for the week - 1 in 198 referrals came from MSN - that's 0.5%

I wonder why, when Google has managed to crawl and index 159,000 pages compared to the pitiful effort by MSN: 2,831

Google doesn't need to advertise imo. The only thing MSN can do to make a serious difference would be to upgrade their operating system to have search built in.. let me see .. when's that scheduled for?? 2007 if I'm not mistaken ... pffff

 

True, but that goofy psychedelic (animated) butterfly does fly across the screen and land next the search bar.

 

It's gets better. The adsense ads on my search engine/directory site have ads for the "New MSN Search." Now that's funny!

 

I hope they start airing in the UK, MSN is being very good to me at the moment.
