Ógra Fianna Fáil tweetz:
Fine Gael have bought ads for people searching Fianna Fáil party. Clearly they know we’re the only alternative #ge16.
Steady on.

Sorry we don’t have Coca Cola but we do have Pepsi
Point well made.
Not really Pepsi is foul.
More of a Mountain Dew vs Crab Juice situation methinks
Ha! Excellent

must mean more tax breaks for google, good work blushirts
Another moron with zero understanding of modern advertising.
Only morons don’t know how advertising works. Because it’s so fascinating and wonderful and a blessing in all our lives and we all wish to understand the richness and complexity that it brings to our existence.
i fancy something chocolatey after reading that..
Yeah. That or shoving your name in front of people who are looking for your competitors didn’t stop being a good idea around the time your useless power hungry bum joined ógra whichever.
Another reason to use DuckDuckGo
Imagine Fianna Fáil the worst car crash government in the history of the state is the best hope for change against the current crop of corrupt, trough snorting incompetents
Let’s keep the fantasy recovery for billionaires going
That’s not a hope for change. If 2011 thought us anything it’s that you can rotate the two F’s all you like, the government does not change.
Fairhill is a FF apologist!
Everyone does this in online ads. If you search for Firefox for example paid ads for Chrome will appear and probably vice versa. It’s not a new tactic but it is reasonably effective.
That twitter thread shows exactly why politics in this country will never change. Sniping, point scoring, whataboutery & childish insults.
+1
Clicks on ads cost money
Good tactic by FG, sure everyone knows that many many FF voters are still swayable from their traditional vote.
Ogra Fianna Fail’s twitter banner still has a typo on the word ‘Sustainable’ despite being told about it months ago.
It’s a play on “Susa” the student grants online system.
You’re welcome.
(Not aFFiliated, fyi. Just bored.)
I didn’t believe you so I looked it up and could only find SUSI
Maybe Fianna Fail and Fine Gael can form a new government. They can merge the parties into one and rename it Fianna F*** You!
Nothing new to offer from either party. “We’re not them” should be both their slogans
So every time someone clicks on the Fine Gail ad it will cost them money? I see…..
I tried it about 10 times on the mobile. It works really well as long as the search is for “Fianna Fáil”. It doesn’t work on the pc. A great way to find FG’s website when you need it.
Are the “young” versions of political parties solely focussed on sniping, one-upmanship and general childishness or do they actually serve a purpose other than an outlet for entitled little turds?
As someone who works in a digital advertising agency, I’m surprised more parties aren’t using competitor bidding like this on Google AdWords!
I also doubt the parties have registered their trademarks with Google, so if not FG could use FF in the ad copy to directly attack FF if they wished (See the Ryanair/eDreams case as to how competitor bidding can be really effective and the use of trademark terms in Google Ads)
My only other question – are any parties using Bing Ads?!
Sorry forgot link to the Ryanair/edreams case:

Interesting. Thanks.
Ads not showing now. Must have used up their daily budget. Hahahahaha!
That was fun though. I wonder if we can play again tomorrow…
Or if you have clicked too many times from the same IP it stops showing It to you only and stop you costing the bill payer money. Otherwise your competitors could sit and cost you money all day?
