As outraged as many folks might be this is just good business for Google and Facebook. Internet advertising, nay advertising at large, is dangerously close to becoming a regulated, or more regulated, industry in the wake of fake news and Ru

Reddit actually has this and it essentially saved my experience of the site and kept me around as a user. I browse r/all frequently to discover new content and then use their subreddit filtering as essentially a robust negative keyword

Find it as hard to believe as you would like but I have no incentive to lie. The most profitable campaigns tend to be high end consumer goods with a monthly recurring element built into it. The worst performers tend to be anything targeting

3 to 5x on a cold audience. 5-10x on retargeting campaigns and upsell/cross sells. It really depends on the client though.

A few things that struck me. Note I primarily do Facebook consulting so I'm pulling broad generalizations from there but I do run youtube ads as well. 1. Using predefined broad audience categories rarely works. Doing keyword targeting

Interesting. I'm actually starting paleo today which is super low carb so I'll report back if that helps also.

I actually did the same and it was life changing. Every day I would get tired and become unproductive at 2 or 3 in the afternoon regardless so I moved my gym time to there. I have more energy, I'm happier, I'm faster at the gym be

During my brief time working for an Icelandic company they flew me over and we had a party the final day together. I had asked about the shark and they obliged but they told me it's essentially for tourists at this point. Regardless it

Any plans to integrate with advertising APIs so you can run/edit campaigns based on this data? Seems to be potentially a really useful mechanism especially around concurrently running ads with when commercials are running etc?

When I emailed my Senator this was essentially his response. Whether genuine or not he said he wants to see a permanent solution that creates more competition. Who knows if he's being truthful but it is an argument I've seen for a

As organic reach keeps falling and falling this seems like a pretty clever product to utilize a native feature and get around paying Facebook to reach your own audience. Very neat.

The problem though is that they led the way by breaking down all the regulatory barrier to entries. Whats to stop anyone from starting a ridesharing company tomorrow?

The 500lb gorilla in the room that no one is talking about when it comes to Reddit ads is this. Go to Reddit right now and hit the "All" button and just see how much hardcore pornography pops up immediately. I'm not making so

The problem is that internet advertising as a model for 99% of companies (Facebook, Google, and a handful of others making it work being the exceptions) is fundamentally broken. When you're a media company you fundamentally trade on pe

Do it. I want it badly. How are you getting around the problem of sales people guarding their inventory so closely? In addition, how are you coordinating with media companies to make sure that the brands advertising are within their guideli

No offense to Mr Friedman, but almost everyone that works in marketing and tech has had the adwords for billboards idea, or tv or radio for that matter. I once upon a time played with an adwords for trade magazines idea that went nowhere. T

That's really unfortunate. You likely know none of these people, have no idea what kind of lives they live or beliefs they hold, and yet smile at their misfortune? Even if they didn't believe in climate change or disagreed with yo

I mean not to be a jerk about it but so what? It seems like giving out high risk stock options is a bad deal for workers overall. If the goal is to grow the economy wouldn't paying a rank and file employee more fairly be better for mor

Live in Denver. This is a little too real. There's a very real irony to the people that move here that "hate the bay" then act, vote, and do everything in their power to make it exactly like SF.
