    Targeted advertising is advertisement that is placed to reach consumers based on various traits like demographics, firmograhpics, and behavior variables. These ads are ranked based on relevance which is determined by how often the ads were clicked on by the computer user. This was a push forward for the advertising industry because it provided valuable feedback to advertisers and helped influence selling. For example, potential customers who search for information on a topic will see these intrusive ads without them even having to search for a product or service. It will just show up based on their search. This can oppose a threat to newspapers and TV ad campaigns because this advertising eliminates the waste of most of the mass advertising being viewed by a vast audience with no interest in the product. The cost of TV ads can sometimes cost millions of dollars while it is only gaining maybe 100 new first-class customers. TV and newspaper ads cannot compete with targeted ads because they can effectively reach the audience they are trying to reel in while TV and newspaper end up spending more money for a smaller amount of people. These ads can be beneficial for only larger firm rather than firms with not a lot of awareness. If a firm is not well known, and people haven’t heard of the firm than it’s not worth it. It is desirable because it allows advertisers to determine user preference and purchasing habits. These ads are more useful to the consumers. The targeting of advertising can lead to higher profits.…

    "Don't be evil" is the informal corporate motto (or slogan) of Google.[1] It was first suggested either by Google employee Paul Buchheit[2] at a meeting about corporate values in early 2000[3] or, according to another account, by Google engineer Amit Patel in 1999.[4] Buchheit, the creator of Gmail, said he "wanted something that, once you put it in there, would be hard to take out", adding that the slogan was "also a bit of a jab at a lot of the other companies, especially our competitors, who at the time, in our opinion, were kind of exploiting the users to some extent."[2] While the official corporate philosophy of Google[5] does not contain the words "Don't be evil", they were included in the prospectus (aka "S-1") of Google's 2004 IPO (a letter from Google's founders, later called the "'Don't Be Evil' manifesto"): "Don’t be evil. We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served — as shareholders and in all other ways — by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains."[6] The motto is sometimes incorrectly stated as Do no evil.[3][7]…
