TRAFFIQ to Co-Host Panel Discussion on Strategies for Mid-Tail Success:
Dan Ballister, chief operating officer for TRAFFIQ, will co-host an industry panel on one of the hottest topics today among online advertisers and publishers: how to successfully engage and monetize the increasing numbers of consumers flocking to mid-tail sites. As inventory becomes tight among the portals and top 100 properties, advertisers are migrating to mid-sized Websites—following users who are spending less time at the big sites and more time within the mid-tail of the online ecosystem.
Forget blind networks and outdated metrics; come hear Dan and his fellow experts lead “Beyond the Banner/Beyond the Network,” a wide-ranging discussion of innovative and practical strategies for media success in this important new market. Event details below:
