Latest Google Memo To Ad Industry: Trust Us

By Adam Soroca, Chief Product Officer & GM, Jumptap

In an effort to improve mobile monetization, Google recently announced that it will require current AdWords customers to pay one rate for ads on both PC and some mobile devices, notably tablets. Google also announced that it will no longer break out tablet from PC in its campaign reporting. Reportedly, these moves are an attempt by Google to boost mobile ad revenues and capitalize on the shift in Google searches from PC to mobile. The move currently applies to search, but a similar move for display is sure to follow. The question has to be asked: are Google’s moves in the best interest of the advertiser? Why do advertisers need to pay for a market that does not yet exist and why should advertisers lose transparency?  While consumer engagement and ad dollars are flowing to mobile; publishers, agencies, advertisers, and networks are still learning the downstream impact of mobile advertising, leaving one to wonder: why take away transparency except for personal gain?

As we begin to get back to ‘normal’ in the Bay State, we’re reflecting back on mobile traffic throughout the storm.
