The bulk of Google's sizable revenue comes from selling adsthat appear alongside its returned search result. For Google and at least some ofit's advertising partner, this form of advertising has been wildly successful. It isone of these ads that caught the attention of Bert Harrington, the owner of severalpopular Bible study websites. "While searching for Jesus related websites, I wasconfronted with an ad from eBay offering a 'Fantastic prices on Jesus'," saidHarrington. "I was surprised to say the least!"
Worried that eBay's questionable ad may also be appearing on his own sites promptedHarrington to dig a little deeper. "In order to offset costs, we allow Google todisplay ads on our sites," explained Harrington. "This allows us to offer free BibleStudy services like Eastons-Bible-Dictionary.com. " But while thankful to Google forthe extra revenue, "Clearly this is not a service that has any value to ourvisitors. I really don't want people thinking we help finance our efforts with adsfrom people claiming to sell Jesus!"
To be fair, eBay is not alone when it comes to cashing in on Jesus. An ad for"Passion in Costa Rica" offering real-estate to retirees was also shown to peoplesearching for the word Jesus on Google. And not to be outdone, Google competitorYahoo also displays a pay-per-click Jesus ad from eBay.
But Overstock.com seems to have gotten the final word. Their Yahoo sponsored listingclaims that Jesus can be yours for $10.39. Surely a steal if there ever was one.
eBay, Google and Yahoo could not be reached for comment. For that matter, Jesusrefused comment as well.
