Funny Ads: Lil Wayne Becomes A Cop and Hot Mom Refinances

If you make a living online you probably notice ads more than the average surfer. I got a good laugh out of these two funny ads I saw last week.

Lil Wayne Wants You To Become A Cop

Someone used Lil Wayne’s mug shot in a Criminal Justice Degree ad on Facebook… most likely an affiliate. It ran for at least a few days so I’m guessing CTR was good due to Lil Wayne peaking curiosity.

LowerMyBills Uses Hot Cleavage Mom To Encourage Refinance

LowerMyBills and ClassesUSA (parent company – Experian) has long been known to use catchy ads to promote their sites and this one is no different. They’re clearly going for the hot milf on a treadmill to catch your attention. You can’t fully see it here but the ad was in flash and the the woman was moving (err working out) with emphasis on one particular body part… I’ll let you guess which one.

Joking aside, it’s always interesting to pay attention to different strategies companies and affiliates use in their advertising. Split testing your ads, especially when media buying, is the only way to avoid banner blindness and succeed; so I applaud companies when they put in the extra time to test everything, analyze data, optimize ads and landing pages, and split test like there’s no tomorrow. It can make or break your business.

Addition: Snoop wants you to get paid by playing video games!

This one has been on Facebook for a while and I still get a kick out of it.
