Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
Prices in the online advertising’s world bargain bin are cratering. PubMatic, a consultancy which helps Web-site owners shop for the highest-paying ads, says that average rates for its largest publishers have dropped from $0.38 per thousand page views to $0.18. Some fret that this is the sign of an economic slowdown. I doubt it. More likely, it’s a reflection of the glut of inventory available, and the failure of an ad-selling business model.
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
