Advertising in Third World Countries

Online Advertising Philippines

Apparently, the power of online advertising has been so far restricted and acknowledged only by the people who are in the United States and the United Kingdom. While online advertising and Internet marketing is rampant in the world today, it is really out of curiosity that countries such as the Philippines has not adopted such a tactic.

I call this funny for the fact that most of the Internet marketers in the world today come from the Philippines and India. While they are serving countries abroad through telecommute jobs, it makes you wonder why their point of origin does not know what it is missing.

“There is still a huge potential in the Philippines when using the Internet for marketing and advertising campaigns. All that is needed is that they are informed with the methods and tools that can be used by local advertisers and marketers,”

American Social Health Association: Dangers of Chlamydia

Check out the facebook application: http://apps.facebook.com/morphmonkey

Anyone on Facebook can take part in the campaign by simply downloading the MorphMonkey application and clicking the “Make a Love Child” tab.

Users are allowed to continue making love children whilst having the disease. However a twist comes at the end of 8 weeks, when they find that they are temporarily unable to make any more children, as their untreated case of Chlamydia has of course made them infertile.

The application does absolutely no harm to computers and is not a virus. Facebook has plenty of applications that can be downloaded every day but rarely are they used in a stunt like this.
