Where do you stand with regard to the idea of mobile Google ads? Does this bother you or are you instead, curious about how it will work out?

Google Inc., the most-used Internet search engine, has successfully tested advertising on mobile phones in Japan, signaling a new revenue opportunity for the company.

Advertisers may be willing to pay more for cell-phone ads than for those shown on computers because mobile consumers may be closer to making a purchase.

Software that uses the geographic positioning features of cell phones will also be developed at Mountain View, California- based Google, Nishar said. That will let a user search for nearby businesses without specifying his own location.

Deep Nishar, Google product manager said“We believe this is a phase when people should be investing in the market as opposed to trying to harvest something that isn’t quite there yet,” he said. Source: The Pondering Primate
