Current Event Example 2: McDonald’s bought a firm for $300million
What is it: McDonald’s spent a large amount of cash to try to improve menus based on customer preferences that are inferred from previous clicks/choices
What is the big deal: Shows how insights once garnered solely online (like in our example last week) are moving to off-line stores as well
Who should be worried: No one other than maybe privacy issues; more that services should be more personalized.

Overview of Different Types of Internet Ads: Sponsored Search
Cost per click with “bided” keywords
Location based on combination of bid and popularity
Allow maximum budget per day
Easily traceable and allows short-term alterations
Search engine (search network) and non-search engine (display network) options
Sponsored Search
Exact specifications on keywords
Demographics
Locations
VERY “long-tail” in keywords
Only a few words are truly profitable
“Metric myopia” often an issue
Not all users will immediate convert from original click on search
Google AdWords is dominant player
Sponsored Search Benefits
Easy to quantitatively gauge impact!
Budget and traffic estimators before conducting ads
Can easily experiment, change, etc.
Improves perceived quality of brand
Can enter consideration set or “Golden Triangle”
Quality still matters b/c search providers do not want to provide customers bad experiences

Position Paradox in Sponsored Search Advertising
Reputed sellers such as Zales and Tiffany are located below lesser-known sellers such as Adiamor.com, Brillance.com and B2CJewels.com
This pattern occurs consistently for many keywords, and is verified in larger-scale data
Superior-quality sellers can have an incentive to position themselves lower in the list of sponsored ads compared to inferior-quality sellers
Why?
