In next weeks Minnesota Lawyer, there will be an article about some of the technological developments that are most worth keeping an eye on for attorneys in 2008, and one of them is pay-for-click advertising search term-based advertising in which the advertiser pays only when a user clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser's website.
Some law offices, notably personal-injury firms, have already mastered the art of pay-for-click. Take Twin Cities PI giant Meshbesher & Spence. For weeks, it has attached an ad to numerous search terms (including neuropathy, kill floor, and numbness+tingling) in an effort to attract potential clients who wish to make a claim against Quality Pork Processors in Austin.
