Study Shows How Changes To Search Influence Display Advertising

United States

If consumers only spend 5% of their time searching, how can search marketers reach them during the remaining 95% of the time they're online?

Ad Retargeter Criteo: People Who Click On Ads Totally Aren’t Losers

United States

What kind of person clicks on ads? When I talk to ad companies, there’s a lot of discussion about how ads are supposed to be relevant, targeted based on user intent, and so on, but I’ve never entirely shaken the suspicion that the real answer is: Suckers. That suspicion? A company called Criteo just released some research saying it’s pretty much a myth.
