A New Coalition Of Online Advertisers Wants To Rid The Web Of Crap Ads
A broad coalition of advertisers in the US and Europe known as The Coalition for Better Ads has released a set of standards it hopes will improve the standard of online advertising and, hopefully, halt the rise of ad blocking software.
Interestingly, IAB Australia announced today that it has signed on to the group as the Australian representative.
The group’s new initiative is known as the initial Better Ads Standards for desktop and mobile web advertising and was based on research in which consumers comparatively ranked different ad experiences presented to them while they read online articles. More than 25,000 consumers rated 104 ad experiences for desktop web and mobile web.

Facebook Posts 53% Jump In Ad Revenue
Facebook continues to drive home revenue thanks to mobile advertising, with the social media giant recording significant growth during the final quarter of 2016
According to Facebook’s fourth-quarter results, advertising revenue was up a whopping 53 per cent to US$8.63 billion, with mobile advertising accounting for 84 per cent of all ad revenue – up 5 per cent on the previous corresponding period in 2015.
The massive boost in ad revenue drove Facebook’s total revenue for the last quarter of 2016 up 51 per cent to US$8.81 billion.
The results come after a new report found that social platforms such as Facebook generate most of their ad revenue from native advertising, and will continue to dominate overall native ad spending through 2021 – particularly native video ads.
These statistics are a strong indication of how powerful Facebook is in regards to advertising and managing your business' branding.

YouTube Australia has released its Leaderboard for the Year-End 2016 advertisements
But what exactly are YouTube ads and how do they work?

"I have been meaning to contact you and let you know that the new mailing system through Honeyweb is working great for us. It is great to look at the stats from each mail out and the fact that we can see all the emails have gone out as we were unsure how many were going out through our previous system. This has really been a positive advantage to our company and we are looking forward to introducing this process to our sister company MediPro over the next few months."
