We all know what Google Adwords is. It is an advertising program that help to make you known to the world by using Internet and computer.

Now, Google has evolved its ads network out of the computer monitor to TV. Yes, it’s called Google TV ads. This TV ads program is by invitation only during its beta on June 2008. It is a good move to grow its giant advertising empire!

No doubt, I believe Google TV ads should be able to reach out to wider networks by feed it’s ads to several dozen TV channels nationwide. But who knows on its effectiveness? As a blogger or internet enterpreneur, do you think this program can help to boost your business? How many TV viewees will go to your website and buy things?

I doubt on its performance. Let’s wait and see.
