You see a lot of Apple related stuff on ‘The Gadgets’ and all other tech and gadget blogs. People write about all the great products Apple has. But you’d hardly find main stream tech bloggers writing about Nokia. So they don’t get much of free advertising benefit that Apple does by making great products. A lot of audience lies on these sites and around the whole internet. Adsense is the main player in internet advertising and we know Nokia uses it a lot for advertising across the web. What we didn’t know is Nokia is too much scared of Apple’s success and decided to catch people’s interest in Apple’s products. Nokia is running an advertising campaign on Adwords that is solely misleading and fraud.
I am not sure how many fraudlent Nokia ads are running on Adwords but I can tell you of what I just saw on a recent post on ‘the gadgets‘. Guess what? You won’t beleive! Nokia is using “Apple Phone” as the ad heading to advertise its own phones. Lo and behold! Is there any Nokia phone called ‘Apple Phone’??? Or even looks like an Apple?
Here’s a screenshot of the ad:
Look at the URL at the bottom of the ad! It is the official Nokia site link! When I clicked on the ad, I landed on Nokia’s official website for Middle East and Africa. There was nothing like Apple there. Nokia is using our readers interest in Apple products and drive them to their own site hoping readers to get deceived and order a Nokia device instead of an iPhone. Hell no, our readers are smart enough to not get deceived by false advertising.
