We're proud to announce a new member of the AdWords family -- Frank the hand turkey. You may remember Frank from previous blog posts, and as of today, Frank will be the official mascot of Google AdWords. As part of our continuing efforts to improve the quality of online advertising, we're also introducing FrankRank(TM), a new ad ranking technology and algorithm inspired by our new mascot.

So, we are off to Mars...

the blog is pretty funny, but is there any concrete info on how it's going to work?
is it the real deal, or the joke about how common pigeons use their beeks to select relevant web-sites...

But seriously google shouldn't joke around like that, or put it somewhere that it's a joke, i'm sure others thought that it was true as well... right? riight? :)

My guess is that you must have seen it on RSS feed or something like that, Idarius. I think if you had seen the truly beautiful image of Frank the 'hand turkey' on the blog itself there would have been no question in your mind. :)
