Just moments ago @andrewfoxwell and I recieved notice FB will be holding off on removing access to the current default 28 day attribution window. While it was to be a small rollout its safe to say we can all breathe a sigh of relief and say hallelujah. 🙏 #FB #DTC pic.twitter.com/3uijwItxgo

My latest freakout w/
Google's Unreported Search Terms fiasco. I have several terms hidden which are specified in my KEYWORDS for Exact and Phrase match!!! Yep, that's right, Google has deemed KW I have specifically included as "insignificant" & isn't reporting them. #ppcchat— YNot Web (@ynotweb) October 6, 2020

Are you running LinkedIn Ads in a non-english speaking country? Don't select only "French" or "Spanish" if you want to target the whole country - keep it in English, it can help increase your audience size #ppcchat pic.twitter.com/oU8dDBFJTY

So it's a problem if Amazon does it, but when Walmart buys https://t.co/0wUJHm4G9d to learn how to sell stuff online, that's OK? When Netflix uses a blockbuster-like model to learn customer preferences + use that insight to develop its own shows, that's OK?
