A silver toy robotic dog The blame game over digital ad bots has reached absurd proportions. Enough is enough! Everyone is to blame for a whole host of reasons: Publishers have been buying cheap traffic to pump up numbers. Exchanges have turned a blind eye to high traffic or re-trafficked sites, while focusing solely on volume.

Though the debate is raging, as a publisher - as well as an advertiser – one must always respect the readers. They must be informed if...

growth-engine Declining CPMs and squares and rectangles largely ignored by their audiences have left publishers reeling. As they scramble for new ways to support themselves, they need an alternative advertising solution to help engage their readers and make more money; something that leverages the two big trends of native advertising and programmatic buying, two of the fastest growing segments of online advertising.

Freight train It's a freight train, and it's coming fast. A recent comic strip from Adexchanger sums up quite well the growth in mobile, and how it's affecting publishers and advertisers alike. With behavior and layout different in mobile, publishers have been required to rethink their overall product, and in turn, their ad products.
