Google and Ask Offline Advertising: Billboard Style

Danny Sullivan is back in the US for a bunch of SMX conferences, and in California, he spotted this very ironic sight:


Ask Versus Google In Billobards

Forum members are cracking up:

It is a Huge Google Billboard over a tiny ask.com billboard!

Thanks, Danny, for the laugh. :)

(Others, however, just don't get the Ask.com billboard at all. The comments on the Digg submission if you sort by most Diggs reflect that sentiment.)

Forum discussion continues at DigitalPoint Forums.

Its interesting this, Google and Ask really seem to be squaring each other up at the minute. I recently read a submission on the Matt Cutts blog where he comments that Universal Search is perhaps an area where Google were looking to expand. Again evocative of the current ASK campaign. Are GOogle scared at the mo? Somehow I doubt it, but they are certainly trying to guard their market share.
