The ads were not visible because of a mix of technical glitches, user habits and fraud. The finding implies that billions of marketing dollars are being poured down a digital drain. FULL ARTICLE - The Wall Street Journal 5 ad types that are not 'native' When a term is as hot and hyped as "native advertising," it's inevitable that everyone will want to appropriate it to describe everything they are doing. While it's still open for debate exactly what native advertising is, it's useful to agree on what native advertising is NOT. Here are 5 types of advertising that are not "native." FULL ARTICLE - Publishing 2.0 Why The Atlantic hired an 'entrepreneur-in-residence' Philosophically, the hiring of PBS Frontline's Andrew Golis as an "entrepreneur-in-residence" boils down to an issue every publisher can relate to: How to make a 150-year-old brand more entrepreneurial. "We're tasked with innovating at a much more rapid pace than in the past," Atlantic president M. Scott Havens said. "We're continually thinking about adding new skill sets, new products, and new organizational structures." FULL ARTICLE - Folio Amazon's ad business: a lesson for publishers Amazon has made use of Big Data to personalize the site for each user.

Pew: One-third of U.S. consumers own a tablet Time Inc. testing 'Double Snap' mobile ad unit How Upworthy uses 'emotional data' to drive traffic Demand Media bets big on content Apple introduces iOS 7, a major overhaul iOS 7, the latest version of Apple's flagship mobile operating system, is here, and it's almost entirely different from the versions that came before. Gone are the skeuomorphic designs and 3D effects, replaced by Sir Jony Ive's "flat design." Rumors had been flying for weeks about the new OS and now it's here and it is, at least at this early reckoning, a massive change for the six year old operating system. FULL ARTICLE - TechCrunch Apple iOS 7: Truly innovative? Now that we're moving further away from the reality distortion field that accompanies every Apple event, however, it's worth asking: What did Apple really unveil at WWDC 2013? Is iOS 7 truly innovative in mobile? FULL ARTICLE - Mashable Pew: One-third of U.S. consumers own a tablet One out of every three people in the U.S. is a tablet owner now, with the prevalence of the devices nearly doubling in the last year, a report from the Pew Internet Project says. The percentage of U.S. adults who now own a tablet increased to 34 percent from about 18 percent in 2012. Some of the greatest tablet momentum is among parents. FULL ARTICLE - Cnet Time Inc. testing 'Double Snap' mobile ad unit How can publishers make mobile advertising more interesting and less intrusive? For Time Inc., one bet is a new banner ad unit called Double Snap, which the publishing giant will use to promote the Toyota Avalon this week on the mobile websites of People, Sports Illustrated and Entertainment Weekly. The ad format is intended to be eye-catching but not overbearing, which is why it never totally obscures the content featured on those websites. FULL ARTICLE - Adweek How Upworthy uses 'emotional data' to drive traffic The editorial director of Upworthy explains how the site, dedicated to resharing stories with social impact, is leveraging emotional data to become the fastest-growing media site in history. Upworthy clocked 8.7 million monthly unique visitors within its first six months and now garners more than 10 million uniques a month. FULL ARTICLE - Fast Company Demand Media bets big on content Demand Media made its play by creating SEO-friendly content. But over the past several years, it has pushed hard to draw integrated campaigns with big brands like Target, Bank of America, Volkswagen and Allstate. Newly appointed Chief Revenue Officer Jeff Dossett talks about the industry's recent fascination with content marketing — and whether it's really new.

Recovering from a Google penalty Nonprofit news startups are floundering advertisement Reinventing Revenue: How publishers are changing the game There's plenty of activity – and anxiety – around how to leverage and monetize publisher assets, whether it be native advertising, commerce, mobile brand extensions, or marketing services. This 55-page eBook will help publishers define the best disruptive revenue opportunities and the necessary technology investments to support them. Click here to read. Magazines are selling more iPad ads The Publishers Information Bureau surveyed 58 magazine titles about the number of print ad pages and iPad ad units each sold between January 1 and the end of March. On average, ad units on their iPad apps increased by 23.6% over Q1 2012. The iPad now accounts for 56% of all magazine ad units sold across print and iPad for those surveyed. FULL ARTICLE - Mashable Time to stop chasing pageviews Chasing pageviews is almost universal in the digital media world, and it leads to an almost universally crappy user experience. And at the end of the day, alienating the very people it wants to reach is hardly the most effective use of brand advertising dollars. Publishers who have built their business around banners and cheap pageviews are going to have to wise up. FULL ARTICLE - Digiday A new template for long-form storytelling WBUR partnered with Atavist to create "Bulger on Trial," the first story to be built on Atavist's new Creatavist platform, a web-based CMS. The interactive account of Whitey Bulger's life is rich with archival photos, documents, and video, in the presentational style by now almost tiresomely known as "snowfalling." FULL ARTICLE - Nieman Journalism Lab Is media becoming device dependent? The publishing business has a device problem — a big one. Publishers are overly dependent on devices for delivery of content. There's an upside, of course: The iPad, in particular, created an entirely new business model for publishing. But it's still sobering to look at the additional costs these new devices are saddling publishers with.

Webmasters whose site traffic was affected by the updated webspam algorithm are now desperate to recover. Those who are looking to Google's Disavow Links tool to bail them out will be disappointed, because it doesn't work the way that many people seem to think it does. FULL ARTICLE - Search Engine Watch Nonprofit news startups are floundering Although nearly $26 million was donated to 50 non-profit journalism start-ups in recent years, most are flubbing the mission-critical task of finding ways to financially sustain their efforts for the long term. The scale of spending on news start-ups was captured in an unprecedentedly thorough study released Monday by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism.
