Re: Personally....

I want to buy a new guitar so I search for guitars using Google and in the process they serve up some adverts in response to my search. If I then go to a physical shop to buy the guitar, Google will then claim that I bought it at that location because of the adverts they served reactively to my search?

If marketeers believe this then they deserve to be taken to the cleaners by Google. Unfortunately the consumer then pays for their stupidity in higher product costs.
