Meerdere sprekers hebben stilgestaan bij de inhoud van advertenties. Volgens hen wordt hieraan nog te weinig aandacht besteed. Bij het optimaliseren van campagnes blijft het vaak bij het aanpassen van biedingen en het toevoegen en uitsluiten van zoekwoorden. Maar deze optimalisatiepunten alleen zullen nooit tot groot succes leiden. Meer focus op de advertentie-uitingen zelf zou de grote volgende stap zijn naar het verbeteren van het online rendement uit paid search.

This time it involves the NDS division of News Corp, which makes conditional access cards for pay TV. It seems that NDS also ran a sabotage operation, hiring pirates to crack the cards of rival companies and posting the code on The House of Ill Compute (thoic.com), a web site hosted by NDS. 'ITV Digital collapsed in March 2002 with losses of more than £1 billion, overwhelmed by mass piracy, as well as technical restrictions and expensive sports contracts. Its collapse left Murdoch-controlled BSkyB the dominant pay TV provider in the UK.' Chenoweth reports that James Murdoch has been an advocate for tougher penalties for pirates, 'These are property rights, these are basic property rights,' he said. 'There is no difference from going into a store and stealing a packet of Pringles or a handbag, and stealing something online. Right?'"
