I just discovered something really weird and slightly worrying for anyone using Adwords

If you are using Firefox and let’s face it anyone who is doing business online should be then something really interesting happens when using google search.

If you are using Firefox then type any search into the google search like car sales for instance

Ok now try clicking on the top ad on the right. STOP don’t click it will cost the poor guy money, just run your mouse over it.

No grabby hand! If your mouse pointer does not change then basically that ad is not clickable!

So some poor sod has paid premium price to get position 3 or the top add on the side and nobody using FF can click it!

I’ve posted this in a couple of places and most people are experiencing the same thing as me. Internet Explorer is fine (now there is a change LOL) it’s just FF.

Some people with older versions of firefox said it was clickable weird!

I guess the support poeple at firefox or Google need to look at this!

Actually I guess for once maybe google are not to blame maybe it is just firefox?

Of course it is not a major catastrophe, I mean you are not paying For lost clicks or anything but it will ruin your ctr as presumably it registers as an impression but you will never get a click!!

Fell free to post a comment using the link above right
