if you visit sites with OOo content - I'm sure you've seen it:

I find this offensive, as it helps perpetuate the myth about OOo
performance. Now, I guess every time someone clicks on it, then the
advertiser has to pay some dollars to Google, and when the
advertiser's
credit is exhausted, Google pulls the advert.
Just a thought

Really is our fault for not doing much 'think out of the box' like
the folks from abiword. For all our google links we could have had
some campaigns up on Google ads.
We did, at one point, a couple of years ago. A unnamed donor enabled
us to have a slew of ads for OOo. Didn't do much, which I guess is
the lesson of the Internet: it's a money drain for advertisers,
funnelling cash to Google.
Amusingly, I see similar language here. Though I put together the ad
campaign and wrote the copy, still the templates were not unlike
those used by others.....
