See it here: Facebook’s New Ads Walk a Very Fine, Spammy Line (PandoDaily.com).

The Web must understand that Premium Advertising must come out of meaning to the end user, not intrusion. InfluAds and our awesome publishers are working to make that happen. Get in touch if you want to be part of it.

GigaOm reports that Facebook is set to release a new Premium Ads product.

Let us sum it up for you: Facebook wants to make more money and the relevancy that their technology builds isn’t good enough. Clutter and intrusion may have to do.

They want to drive more money pig backing on your user experience and your data. This is another slightly bad day for an Internet that needs better ad relevancy, not clutter… Will it get worse?

This is awesome news for Quality Ads on the web, which we promote so heavily.

Google used to spam people with ads when they’d reach parked domains, which had nothing more than crappy ads. Most people would go there by mistake and the relevancy of those ads, with ou without server technology behind, was dubious at best. Are they finally realizing that the web doesn’t 0.01% CTR kind of ads?

We’re not opening a bottle of champagne tonight on behalf of people that care about ads since we can’t really afford it. Yes, we rather charge a modest commission fees to our quality publishers instead, unlike the rest of the industry.

Hi,
We’re contacting you because you’re using AdSense for Domains to monetize your undeveloped domains. After evaluating the benefits of our partner network, we’ve decided to retire the Hosted domains product within AdSense. Going forward, undeveloped domains will only be served through our existing AdSense for Domains distribution network.

Our records show that 50 of your Hosted domains will be affected by this upcoming change, which will follow the schedule below:
March 21: You’ll no longer be able to create new Hosted domains
April 18: Hosted domains will become inactive and it’ll no longer be possible to earn from them
June 27: Hosted domains will no longer be available in AdSense accounts
To continue monetizing your undeveloped domains, you can migrate your domain portfolio to any domain parking provider. Find out how in our Migration Guide:

Migration Guide
Please note that this upcoming change won’t affect any other AdSense products you’re currently using or the availability of other products to you. In addition, reporting on your Hosted domains will remain available throughout the schedule above and for a period following the retirement.

For more information see the Help Center. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your patience as we continue to develop new features and offerings within AdSense.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

David Ogilvy, 1963

It seams that the advertising industry forgot that message along the years. Mass spamming + irrelevancy wouldn’t cut for Mr Ogilvy, the Father of Advertising back in in 60s so what’s wrong with you today, Mr Advert?

See The pope of modern advertising: David Ogilvy if you have some time. It’s definitely worth to learn on how an advertising genius saw advertising… and how fucked up digital advertising (the most modern form of advertising) became.

• I harvested and sold approx. 15,000 small snails to buy a cool Mountain Bike when I was 14
• I sold t-shirts in a (very muddy) motocross competition when i was 16
• I had a small company doing Web Hosting and Development while in college (Alojix) when I was 21

And then I got bored working for a corporate giant since my college didn’t allow me to work on my own project for my final thesis (go figure!!). That was probably the best thing that ever happened to me though, since it leveraged my move to Copenhagen and my renewed, somewhat starved interest in entrepreneurship.

This brings me to this blog post…

Artic Startup is the way to know about entrepreneurship and startups in Scandinavia and the Baltics. It was one of few sites that I follow religiously and that allowed me to grow as an entrepreneur during my maturation period before launching InfluAds in 2010. They are also a key contributor to the local scene with events like arctic15.com and others.

Today I’m glad to share that Artic Startup (the TechCrunch of the Nordics) is joining InfluAds as one of the awesome publishers of our Startups & Entrepreneurs network.

They join an awesome gang like VentureHacks and world-class blogs from entrepreneurs like Jason Cohen, Nate Westheimer, Ash Maurya, Vlaskovits and so many others.

InfluAds was the first ad network focusing on this audience and we are proud to welcome this awesome publisher from the awesomely beautiful Finland.

By doing so we extend our coverage of a very interesting audience in Scandinavia (the nest of companies like Skype, Spotify, MySQL…) and the Baltics (an emerging area where countries like Estonia and Lithuania are already playing global).
