Googletestad - What is it?
Posted by Adam Viener
A quick search of the Wordtracker top 30 keywords for the day indicated a term I had never heard of, Googletestad. Why would so many people be looking for Googletestad, I wondered. So I started doing a little research, and to be honest I didn't learn much. I think Google may be testing something with this term.
When you do a search for Googletestad on Google you will sometimes see the following top paid search ad:
Congratulations!
This is a family save ad.
All systems are go!
www.google.com
It would appear that Googletestad actually stands for Google's Test Ad, and is used to test their adwords system in the live production environment.
So why is this showing up in the top 10 current keywords? Google must be running some massive traffic tests.
Any thoughts?
