From Marketing Land:

  • 64 Percent Of Digital Marketers Plan To Spend More On Social Ads In 2013 [Report]
    Many online marketers love social media marketing because it’s traditionally been a free channel for customer outreach and/or customer service, but almost two-thirds of those who answered a recent survey say they’ll be spending more on paid social media ads this year.

  • Report: YouTube Planning To Launch Paid Channels
    YouTube is reportedly planning a move that will boost its own revenue, while simultaneously giving brands and video producers another way to make money. According to an AdAge report this morning, YouTube is planning to launch subscription-based channels and it could happen as soon as this spring. YouTube has reached out to a small group […]
  • AdBrite Ad Exchange Will Close Its Doors By End Of Month
    The once popular advertising exchange adBrite is closing its doors on February 1st.

  • Pinnerific: Pinterest New Navigation & Look Rolling Out To Select Users
    Soon Pinterest will be rolling out a sleek new look to a lucky small group of users. The new look feature larger images, better navigation and a faster overall experience. The biggest change occurs with the look of the pin. Big, bold pictures are displayed alongside pins from the same board, related pins and other boards that […]
  • Report: Google+ Now 2nd-Biggest Social Network Worldwide
    Google+ has passed Twitter and is now the second-biggest social platform worldwide with 343 million active users. That’s according to a recent report that, frankly, has some confusing claims and stats. The data is from GlobalWebIndex, a site/service that I can’t claim to have ever heard of before. The company says it does 130,000 Internet […]
