October Keywords: Fuck off I’m not talking to rice Uncle Ben

uncle-benAnother month, another deluge of funny, weird, sexy and scary keywords that AdTurds readers have been typing into their search engines.

The one in the title – Fuck off I’m not talking to rice Uncle Ben – tickled me, but the following one also elicited a giggle too:

does the vw advert really say wouldn’t it be nice if we were rover?

It isn’t, of course, but the idea of it amused me. I doubt if any car manufacturer in the last 20 years would envy Rover, but the notion of VW putting subliminal messages into its ads, such peculiar ones at that, is an intriguing one.

Elsewhere the guy on the far left of the Halifax choir is upsetting readers – several readers have been upset by him. I’ve not seen him yet, but I imagine there’s already a Facebook page that exists simply to disparage him. He’ll probably be making an appearance on here soon, as I suspect I’m going to loathe Halifax’s new ads even more than the old ones in the long run.

Paul Whitehouse, Stephen Merchant, Cheryl Baker and Louise Rednknapp were in the firing line this month – I particularly liked ‘freddie flintoff morrisons fucking idiot’ though.

Brands-wise it’s all about Halifax, Barclays, Go Compare, Confused.com, Wonga, Haribo, Colmans, Gillette and Eurostar to name a few.

Already the shortlist for the worst adverts of 2011 article is forming. And what a shitty shortlist it’s shaping up to be.

May Keywords: “Fuck your adverts, you cunts!”

If you’re thinking “well, that headline’s a bit uncalled for” then you may be right.

But that’s how one AdTurds readers sees things, according to our latest trawl of Google Analytics data.

It kind of sums up the most active relationship most people have with adverts – they go onto the internet to seek them out, more often that not to complain about them, I suspect.

What else can we learn from this month’s keywords? Well, fuck all to be honest, though I’ve jotted fown a few thoughts below. But first, a few stats on frequently-used keywords:

Shit – 125: used most frequently in conjunction with Halifax
Annoying – 59: Halifax, Barclays and Direct Line
Worst – 42: Halifax
Hate – 43: Halifax, BT and Louise Redknapp
Fuck – 37: Natwest, Boots, Kia, Yahoo, Jacamo
Jizz – 10: Creme Eggs
Vagina – 10: Confused.com

A resounding victory for Halifax again in most stakes (quite a few banks are getting it in the neck, can’t think why), though I’m not sure whether it’s better or worse to be associated with simply bad adverts as opposed to stuff like ‘jizz’ and ‘vagina’. Clearly the people behind Cadbury’s and Confused.com feel otherwise.

Something that interests me, at least, is the way that people are starting to write search engine queries in the same way they might ask another human, rather than the more recognised search engine interrogation containing keywords. What does this mean for advertisers, marketers and social media marketers? I’m fucked if I know.

Elsewhere we can see that Confused.com is now most associated with bouncing animated breasts and cavernous magical vaginas. Nice bit of branding there, guys.

“dear yahoo, fuck your adverts, you cunts!” fascinates me – is someone at Yahoo intended to see this? Could SERPS data be used by companies to gauge public reaction to campaigns? Again, that’s a question for someone else to answer but it’s an interesting proposition.

People are still fascinated by the Morgan/Morethan Freeman adverts – is this going to be the first of a series of ads that borrow a celeb’s voice just for the borrowed interest? We’ll see.

“negative points about cadbury eyebrow” is another one that interest me – it reflects a trend among the keyword searches where people clearly want to be told why an advert is bad. Weird.

NatWest might find some of the results interesting – despite the customer charter the vast majority of searches are from people annoyed with NatWest for poor banking experiences or their nasty little charges.

I love the implicit criticism in stuff like ‘who is responsible for halifax adverts’. Halifax is probably the most hated brand by AdTurds keywords.

Anyway, plenty to chew on until next time. Keep foaming at the mouth, people.
