Guess What Facebook Is About to Do To Thousands Of Your Fans

March 20, 2014 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Facebook is in the process of pulling the biggest bait-and-switch in history.

Forget About Clicks! Facebook Scrambles

October 22, 2012 by Revenue Performance Staff

Reach and frequency are what matters. Facebook teamed up with Datalogix, a data … [Read more...]
