And yeah, for the update as well. I was thinking that Google is only targeting India, but Ireland also seems to be on their radar. Thanks for your comment Paula. And yeah, for the update as well.

Different method and message - a free trial of Google Adwords, but I had not considered the irony of them advertising in print until reading your article.

Though I don't think cost would have been a big factor but I agree with your last point about targeting a print dominated section. Maybe this is the new way Google is trying to create the demand for their business :) Thanks for your comment Nick.

The ad was most likely a cheap way to reach a broad demographic. Plus, they get additional publicity from bloggers like yourself, so it's a win-win. A big what-if: what if google decides to move into print advertising. I mean, it seems like a step backwards, but you never know. This could be a great way for them to get their feet wet in a way that does not necessarily leave egg on their face. Basically, what I'm trying to say is: they may just be advertising to a place that still has a huge marketshare in print, not online advertising. Other than that, all I can think of is "Google indoctrination" http://nicknorris.net I assume that cost was a big factor in the decision.
