I thought it would be great to host the Halloween Edition and be able to get some great Halloween stories to share with you all. I was hoping for a little better turnout, but if you are a post and still want me to add in your story, let me know! I will include any late additions too! Also, if I somehow missed your submission, let me know so I can get you added!

Trademarks and Google

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Did you know that when you type Allstate in a Google search, one of the text-based ads that pops up is for State Farm? Go try it. I know I did. This is the very reason that search engines are now getting sued for allowing marketers to buy advertisements tied to searches of their competitors brands, products, or trademarks. Google has been sued in six countries for the trademark infringement. Google response to this is that “We don’t sell trademarks. We sell advertising space.”

So what do you think? It is okay for the search engines to profit on your brand?
