Google Promoting ITSELF As A "Work From Home" Method

0 replies
This caught me by surprise. I just did a Google search for:

best make money at home affiliate programs


...And the first Sponsored Adwords Ad was:
-----------------------------
Work From Home w/Google
Advertise Online While Working From
Home on Google Adwords - Sign up
www.Google.com/Adwords
----------------------------

Is it just me, or is that weirdly biz-oppy, and sort of out of place for Google to be promoting themselves with? I did the same search in a different browser and got this the 2nd time:

-----------------------------
Earn Money Using Google
Advertise Your Business Online
Using Google Adwords -Try It Today
www.Google.com/AdWords
----------------------------

Now that one at least says, "Advertise Your Business, but the subject line is still "Earn Money Using Google".

Do these results seem bizarre to you or not?

There's a lot of discussion on this forum by smart folks talking about how important it is to not come off as biz-oppy if you want to be taken seriously (which I agree with), and meanwhile the biggest player on the planet is starting to pitch their advertising services as a biz-opp. :-)

Just sayin'...

PS -I understand that Google is matching it's Adwords language to the search string, but still...

PPS -If you want to see the actual Adwords screenshots I took, they're here:
