Still remember that whole saga of the <a href="http://wassup.myblog.sg/2008/03/20/google-smu-get-ntu/" target="_blank">fake SMU Google ad that leads to NTU website</a>? I just happened to stumble upon a fake Singapore Polytechnic Google ad that links to Republic Polytechnic!</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, I did a Google search on Singapore Polytechnic and found this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-333" title="adwords2" src="http://vic.sg/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/adwords2.jpg" alt="adwords2" width="500" height="182" /></p>
<p>Well, I think buying keywords of other polytechnics to increase their visibility on Google Search is rather unethical. But then again, this is the marketing world&#8230; My friend once shared this so called 3Cs in marketing -<strong> Convince. Confuse. Con.</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">If you can convince them, <strong>convince </strong>them.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">If you cannot convince them, <strong>confuse </strong>them.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">If  you cannot confuse them, then <strong>con </strong>them.</h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Interesting <em>hor</em>?</h1>
