The week in search advertising

By | March 8, 2014

I decided to start a new series on this blog about what happened in the small world of search advertising during the week. It will mostly be a collection of links to interesting articles. The primary goal, for me, is to retrieve quickly articles. I hope this series will be useful for more people than just me!
