What If Google................................................?


What if Google comes with these new ads options? I have been thinking about what Google may try in a near future. I think I have heard about the radio ads. And maybe the television ads. Video games I thinks have been mentioned too. Last but no least, cellphone ads.

What if they put ads on home phone or cellphones? Well, it sound strange but it is not. Most people know about those named "caller-tunes" that some cellphone companies use to change the actual "ring-ring" people listen when making a call. Well, it wont be bad idea for Google to have some deal with some phone company to add a type of ads that substitute the actual ring ring. That is just what I think.

The good side of it: phone call will be cheaper. Phone companies will want to have their user making more phone calls, in this way we will have more minutes for a much lower rate. The more call users make, the more money Google makes, the more money phone companies make too, and last and more important is the fact that we will have cheaper service.

The bad site: privacy issue. Some how Google will have some access to your incoming call history. They will need information about the people you call, like age and all those stuff, just to have better targeted ads. Anyway, privacy is less than an issue theses days. As days go on, people have less privacy. And there is not much that can be done.

Ads on TV. What about free TV channels? All those channel you have on the cable, but free. TV watchers should get free TV, because if it was not for them, there would not be any commercial at all on television, this mean no money. That is why Google's next target should be television. They can put those ads at any corner of the TV programs. Some sponsors pay for the ads just to be seen, even if you don't click on them. And in the long run it should be the way phones service may become, cheaper.
