GOODLINX: bloggers turn to print; marketers missing out with classified sites, how to win an SEO war, secrets of successful blogging
Bloggers’ online work is being turned into monetisable print products in the US, in a twist on the print versus online debate.
Marketers are missing a trick by failing to use display advertising on classified websites, argues Liam Walsh, a previous sales boss of Fairfax Digital:

This advertiser decision making is seemingly irrational as the targeting advantage must surely outweigh any compromise about environment.”
