Hi Oli,
Great post - always love the fail blog! Not sure if you've seen the pay-per-click specific blunders submitted by our followers @ http://www.yourppcsucks.com

Feel free to feature any of these poor attempts at advertising any time you want!

Ok I couldn’t resist. Looks like these guys could really use a landing page with a proper call-to-action (take note: 866-680-3059 opt. 4):

Lol

It’s even more awesome because the fail team underlined “website: to make it look like a link.

Wow, a free sandwich for buying 20 beers, that really IS sobering!

These are all great, I was going through the FAIL blog and nearly all of the photos can be related to online marketing in some way due to mixed-messaging. Take this for example:

Don’t forget where your customers are coming from and where they are going to end up…
