False advertisements stream the web and the media with regularity in today’s society, and it causes disruption to the production of businesses all over. This article argues that misleading advertisements created by websites like Education Start and College Bound interfere with students search for college admissions, and damage other schools potential to gain applicants. I however, feel very little damage is being done. No one this day in age is dumb enough to “accidently” submit an application to a for profit college that they didn’t intentionally seek out. Due to the cost that accompanies the admissions, the process of searching for a college is a task that requires a great amount of attention and precision. For this reason I don’t believe anyone in their right mind would neglect to recognize a link set up by College Bound or Education Start as faulty. A good majority of us know enough to redirect the search for admissions to the college that was initially requested. So how much damage is really being done? It is a super sneaky and undeniably annoying game that websites like College Bound and Education Start play, but I don’t find it worthy of such a fuss. Because regardless of the issue’s popularity amongst the affected businesses, students, and bloggers like you, it’s nowhere near worthy of the expense of tracking down every false advertisement to be eliminated.
