5 replies
Have you ever seen an advertisement (TV, print, radio) that encourages people to Google something rather than directly give the destination?

    They probably have a crappy, long domain name and don't want to bring attention to it.

        It would be for online reputation management. When you Google certain search terms, it influences Google suggestions, which, sometimes, aren't good ones (business name complaints, business name scam, etc.)

    I have. To me, it indicates a lack of knowledge of how search works (not surprising). I mean, why leave it to Google to get people to your site if you can just tell people your site directly.
