With Ask.com ad, CNET redefines "sponsored results"
When not focused on Jesus, privacy is the cornerstone of the Ask.com campaign — it's the second-tier search engine's only hope for gaining ground on Google. So it's not entirely surprising that CNET ranks it as the most secure search engine. But by eerie coincidence, CNET was also serving an Ask.com ad right next to the chart that proclaims Ask the privacy king. That's what we call a-squidge-too-targeted marketing.
