The time has come: OEM's that lock their users into a specific app distribution platform need to be slapped with an anti-trust lawsuit. Hard. When you have Apple's market share... well, with great power comes great responsibility.

Nice headline but don't run to your VC just yet.... $10.5 MM revenue split 350 ways is $30,000 per employee. I mean, nice to have revenue and growth but we're a way from being able to trumpet that from the roof-top yet. That EVA i

The irony here is that Facebook - as an advertising platform - has a lot of opportunity to earn more per visitor. They have traffic but it is relatively disengaged, in terms of commercial intent. Sure, you can target - but there's a lo

Huh? If your boss isn't supporting you, GTFO. Either to another group internally or another company. No offense, but most of this it putting lipstick on a pig. There's no cure for laziness or bad intent. Don't waste your time

If you're in a niche with decent prospects for contextual advertising, there's an easy way around most ad-blockers. Set up a small piece of editorial content and embed some affiliate links into it.

Ah... that's starting to make sense now. Yup, blowing through a bunch of impressions on the same audience will definitely tank CPM's and fill rates. I'm also going to guess you get a lot of repeat visits? (so those sessions
