OpenX CTO to speak at AdMonsters “OPS” in NYC
Sep/100
John Linden, OpenX’s Chief Technology Officer will speak at the upcoming AdMonsters OPS conference in NYC on Sept. 30th.
His talk, Ad Serving Transformed: ‘Revenue Serving’ Lays New Foundation for Growth, is a wake-up call for publishers.
He’ll review the biggest challenges facing publishers today, and why the old approach to managing advertising doesn’t work in today’s dynamic market. He’ll explain how the industry needs a smarter approach to managing advertising that replaces static ad serving with ‘revenue serving,’ enabling publishers to automatically maximize their direct and indirect revenue on one platform.
He’ll show how a next generation ad server must redefine how to classify, package, and sell ad inventory so publishers can launch new ad products in an increasingly competitive marketplace—while giving them better control over targeting data, more accurate forecasting, and instant access to global demand.
He will also explain why the industry needs a global ad exchange to help publishers improve yield from their international inventory.

Forgetting to hit the delete button
Jul/100
I heard a pretty funny story today. Back in the days of tasting one company was tasting about 200k domains a day. But once they forgot to delete them in the grace period, so they ended up with 200k rubbish domains. This error cost them a petty $1.4 mil 
.
Obviously tasting has been long gone today since the grace period has been cancelled by ICANN. It is now only possible to delete 10% of new registrations in the 5 day period.
