Steve Rubel points to yet another not so well timed contextual ad placement. Today, London was selected to host the 2012 Olympics. In a Yahoo story announcing the news, a New York City Olympic bid ad appeared embedded within the article. Not that anyone’s to blame as you can’t always time your ad campaign to breaking news but it wasn’t looking good for New York for quite some time.
