Is Google engaging in some sneaky tactics? Ad prices continue to rise, but many lawyers are feeling like their Google ads are less and less effective. What’s going on here? Gyi and Conrad talk through the increasingly convoluted ad space and how to actually reach your target clients.

The guys discuss whether all traffic is good traffic and what you should do with a weirdly performing page from a variety of marketing perspectives.
