		<description>The ad industry is so disrupted, and you can thank the blind leading the blind for it. The internet needs paid/premium content models, it needs entrepreneurs who want to build solid, revenue-based businesses vs expecting someone else to, and to filter out all of the noise - all the &quot;experts&quot; in the category are pulling companies in a million directions. Some aren&#039;t experts at all. Uniform, standardized approach from the top level down would help immensely. The low barrier of entry to the category made supply outnumber demand for ad revenue - the internet website is the new flash drive. I think the barrier of entry is already higher, the stakes are higher - any ad money in the market will now go to the top. But, unless there is an intelligent, concentrated and truly experience-led effort to &quot;fix&quot; the problems within ads, analytics, etc, and change the lack of knowledge, experience and general ignorance cross multiple industries, we can expect changes like this and more. There&#039;s a choice on whether web disruption tears down markets or helps them - that&#039;s in our hands, but only if the right people, experience and minds are leading the market. The signs clearly point that they are not.</description>

		<description>CPM campaigns are dead. Facebook bids on CPM have gone down significantly, along with Google&#039;s CPC campaigns. Good points here, as the economy is taking a massive hit on all CPM/CPC/CPA. People don&#039;t have money to advertise a product they can&#039;t sell. Wonder how Google feels?</description>
