Home Page Yield

The New York Times has done Web page takeovers, but this past Sunday it experimented with an iPad takeover, according to Mashable.

Squaring Offline With Online

Square may have started as a mobile-transaction business, but its newest product puts it in direct competition with eBay. It’s called Square Market and it allows merchants to create storefronts that are optimized for mobile, and it ties in to brick-and-mortar stores as well, according to Mobile Commerce Daily. “Square wants to take eBay/PayPal business with a much lower cost model, the same way warehouse clubs took business from retailers with everyday low price,” said Steve Timpson, president of Siteminis.

The Meta Fraud Tithe; AI Is Out-Negotiating SaaS

In a feature piece, Starcom MediaVest Group’s Derek Thompson talked to Street Fight about the importance of hyperlocal advertising. “The ability to integrate third-party ad-serving is a critical component. And the ability to manage and optimize accounts in real time in terms of delivery, execution and results is also extremely important. Those are two things that I think are kind of the minimum requirements to get going,” Thompson said. Read more.

Facebook’s Got A New Policy

In an effort to ease brand safety fears, Facebook is implementing a new policy for which Facebook Pages and Groups are allowed to have ads on them. According to a blog post, the process will be manual to begin and eventually will be automated. The main focus will be keeping ads off pages that feature violence or explicit content. From the post: “While these changes won’t have a meaningful impact on Facebook’s business, they will result in benefits to people and marketers.” Read the blog post here.
