For the last time this year I’ve trawled the AdTurds keywords from Google Analytics, which is increasingly like panning for gold in liquid shit.
For the uninitiated these are search terms used by people who ended coming to the site, so they provide a valuable insight into what people are looking for and, to an extent, what their views are.
Their views, it’s safe to say, are generally negative. Obviously there’s a chicken-and-egg nature to the kind of people who navigate to AdTurds, but there’s devil in the longtail – those long, unwieldy, unlikely searches that reveal a lot about what people think of bad adverts.
I’ve jotted down the ones that caught my eye – for whatever reason – from November.
