How much is a Super Bowl :30 ad online?
Feb 5, 2010, 4:40pm

The advertising industry is abuzz about how social media is changing our relationship with commercials that debut on the Super Bowl. And advertisers are finding that the ads have many different lives, apart from airing during the game: "Google to Super Bowl Marketers: Give Us Your Ads -- and Your Ad Dollars."

That includes the bad-boy ads getting just as much attention -- or more -- when they're rejected and won't get aired. (You don't need the remote. They're all on Youtube.) Or Pepsi, who made a splash announcing that its dollars would be used in other ways.

I enjoy watching SB commercials online before the big game through Media Post's Out To Launch. Here's the SpotBowl's Commercial Line-up with a very appropriate intro: "Who are the starting quarterbacks in this year's game? Who cares! The only line-up that matters is the one with the scoop on the big budget ads."

But many are just being offered as previews or teaser ads, like our fiddle-playing beaver above. That is pretty annoying -- and not a good way to build relationships. I'm interested to see if that approach scores or not.
