It gets more visitors to look at your ad. Cha-ching!

[greatstart]

ads for "gooooooooooooooooooooooogle" = CTR 9.7%
ads for "google" = CTR 2.6%

95.6% of statistics are made up to make a point :-))

It's not a bug it's done on purpose.

[hunderdown]

It's called "branding." Look at the bottom of a search page on Google and you'll see Gooooooogle, with each page in the results matching up with an "o."

I think the implication is "there's lots of stuff on Google." Or something.

In any case, people are more likely to notice it.

In any case, people are more likely to notice it.

And if they're potential advertisers, so much the better!

i think it is done to counteract the extreme blending that some sites use. without something noticable, there would be even more unintentional clicks.
