If you type 'Second Life' into google (no quotes), there will be an SL ad on the right side of the browser, and it goes somethiing like this:

Try Second Life for free
More than chat, more than a game.
Warning: Second Life is additive.
www.secondlife.com


Imagine that, SL is addictive! I've actually never seen this as overt as their is.

I got:
From: someone
Second Life
Today Only. We are Giving Away
Free Second Life!
www.tipace.com

Which is odd. Of course, the fact that it's a complete lie and they're just another automated search-spam site probably explains this.

Heh. Gotta love the power of broadmatch. Unless they're actually exact-matching that term... I can't see any power in doing so, though -- there's nothing to make the poacher any money.

Let's look at Overture, since Google is retarded about giving useful data in AdWords. Overture says it has an inventory for [second life] of about 12k -- which means about 12k searches for that will happen in a month. Linden Lab has a max bid for [second life] of 12 cents.

12 cents! We should all be so lucky to get our brand terms so cheap. There's a poacher on Overture for the SL brand term, but he's not affecting the CPC much at the moment. (And if LL really wanted to, they could give Yahoo! their trademark number and Yahoo! would probably make the poacher go away.)

What's funnier is [virtual world] on Google. We got a little pissing contest between There and SL going on.

There.com Virtual World
Visit a virtual world where you can hang out and meet new people.

Welcome to Second Life
Imagine a virtual world where you can create, personalize, play & own

The creative on both of those kind of suck, but the differentiation between the two is funny. There is positioning itself as social masturbation while SL is kind of empowering.

Still, really bland. Let's come up with new ad creative for Catherine. Maybe she'll a-b test a few. :) Rules are max 35 characters per line, two lines max. Ad titles are 25 characters max.

Begin a Second Life
Be anyone, build anything, meet new
friends. Your Second Life awaits.
