"The increasing marginal returns of search advertising are now doing more than taking market share from display advertising, they are en route to becoming display advertising's operating principle." -Scott Rafer, CEO Lookery

With the continued decline in Display performance, some people believe the only thing that will save Display advertising is making it more like Search.

We will provide case study examples of the above and the amazing results achieved and ads that are not only search applications themselves but that can be purchased and targeted based on the keyword.
