From Marketing Land:

  • Facebook: Don’t Worry About Ad Clicks, Optimal Reach & Frequency Are Just As Important

    By now we’ve all heard the doubts on whether or not Facebook Ads work to drive meaningful business. Today Facebook will be unveiling data that counters the traditional ideology that clicks are king for brand advertisers. The new data shows that brand advertisers should focus on impressions, reach and frequency. Facebook teamed up with Datalogix, […]

  • Will Search Engines One Day Be Overcome With Display Ads?

    Last month, Google’s famously streamlined white homepage was plastered with something different: an animated banner ad. Since Google has been credited as an ad-free (or, at least, display-ad-free) search engine, the animated banner ad for the Nexus 7 Android tablet came as a bit of a shock to both Google users and the wider industry. While this […]

  • Top Tweets Personalized To You Are Now Appearing In Your Discovery Tab

    In May Twitter had changed the Discovery tab to include more personalization on content discovery. That change was an improvement, but focused on top stories & content, not necessarily Tweets. The new change is geared more to popular Tweets than just news articles. When a user now clicks on the Discovery tab, they see “Tweets, What’s happening now, […]

  • Google Continues Dismantling Feedburner: Goodbye Adsense For Feeds

    Google has announced plans to shut down its Adsense for Feeds service, a move that continues Google slow dismantling of the Feedburner RSS service.
