Talk:Carlton Draught: Big Ad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Backlinks

The Big Ad’s dedicated website had around 3,160 webpage links as of October 1, 2005, according to Google’s link search. Google's link search is believed to be deliberately flawed, showing only a subset of backlinking pages in Googles index. The reason for this is the importance of backlinks in the rating algorithm of Google. By not showing all backlinks Google tries to keep SEO professionals from unduly manipulating a sites ranking. This is a theory of course (for verification see e.g. webmasterworld.com), but performing a backlink search on Yahoo or MSN reveals a much higher number of backlinks which usually comes close to a sites actual number of backlinks. Therefore it can be seen as a fact that the backlink search on Google is not reliable (for what reason ever). --Pmkpmk 20:51, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Drinking

I believe beer ads can't show people consuming alcohol. The use of robed people to represent beer as well as the internet only display could be used to circumvent this, and at the same time appear novel to people who haven't seen a beer ad with anyone drinking.

That's not true I've seen ads where people consumed alcohol. --WikiSlasher 15:54, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
