INDIANAPOLIS (February 4, 2011) In the past 24 hours, ChaCha, the #1 free, real-time answers service that has answered over a billion questions, asked more than 1,100 of its users questions about advertising in Sunday's Super Bowl. More than eight out of ten respondents (82.93 percent) said they’re "excited for the Super Bowl 2011 commercials.” Interestingly, when asked "If you see a really cool ad, does it make you check out the service or product?" only 11.44 percent said yes, while 38.71 percent said no and about half (49.85 percent) said "sometimes.” "With a 30-second Super Bowl spot costing upwards of $3 million, these insights may cause some marketers to pause and second guess the return on their investment,” says Scott Jones, ChaCha’s CEO.
