(1) I love your book recommendation; however, it dedicates maybe one or two pages to safe-cracking, so I would not recommend it for this purpose. Instead, I would read the material that Deviant Ollam has published ( http://deviati

Yup – and, as a result, at least one ad tech company has emerged to meet advertisers' need for video caption copywriting, design, and automated testing. And they have customers.

On mobile, Imgur has the most distracting, obstructive, and bewildering modal window I've seen. I'm not being hyperbolic; it's worse than the dark patterns on Forbes.com. It's in the form of a cat's claw, animated –

I see at least one exception: Optimize 360. Google Analytics used to offer the ability to run very rudimentary experiments. If they now provide a point-and-click, WYSIWYG solution comparable to Optimizely and Maxymizer, then this is a prett

No, they cannot provide measurement and attribution for campaigns that use Website Custom Audiences or Lookalike audiences, which are often the two largest, most valuable segments of any campaign. Atlas is the only provider that can. Also,
