Description

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert review two important changes by Google - ad links in display search and AMP (accelerated mobile pages). A publisher is now in the business of selling cars and television networks are looking to native advertising as their solution to the ad crisis.  Rants and raves include marketing technology and a book about algorithms.  This week's TOM example: Burroughs Corporation.
