Mobile Ad Measurement: Shady Past, Rosy Future
How do you know if a mobile campaign had the expected result? Today, both publishers and advertisers are often left guessing. Unfortunately, the unique attributes of mobile devices and mobile networks have significantly impacted reporting accuracy and detail. We’ve seen cases where unrecognized robots generated half of the impressions and others where incompatible trackers don’t count half the impressions. The discrepancies between various measurement servers have been large and are caused by all sorts of issues. In short, the recent history of mobile measurement has been shady. Continue reading

Mobile commerce: Meeting the consumer halfway?
As 2010 – a year of booms, busts, mergers and consolidation – finally comes to a close, the mobile industry is already looking ahead to the potential opportunities for 2011.

10 things you need to know about Mo-cial Marketing – part two
Many people think of mobile marketing as a 160 character version of email. Wrong! The very nature of mobile marketing offers retailers the opportunity to reach people at key decision making moments of the day. Imagine evoking the smell of Arabian coffee on a customer’s mobile as they walk to work, and being able to offer them an incentive to stop by your coffee shop.
