FEI Financial Reporting Blog The Search vs. Display Ads Debate: What We Should Really Be Talking About The question of whether search or display is the better method of advertising is oft-debated – but is it actually the right question to ask? Recent findings from SumAll add a new wrinkle to the AdWords debate and shows that we should change the way we think about online ad strategy in general. After analysis of data from over 4,000 AdWords accounts, our research revealed that display ads cost a third less than search ads for the same number of impressions, serving ads on tablets will give you most bang for your buck, and it takes 12 times as many impressions to get a click on mobile devices vs. laptops and desktops.

Let's Call It the Humanity Sector - Dan Pallotta - Harvard by Dan Pallotta | 11:47 AM December 22, 2009 Anyone who has thought about it for more than a nanosecond agrees that “nonprofit” is about the worst possible summary we could give of ourselves and our work.

If that weren’t bad enough, there’s this from author James Hillman: “Definitions using negation or privation are psychologically unsophisticated. So what should we call ourselves? The inspiring options floating around (and often used) are: The third sector I’m sure the poor would love to know they are so prioritized;The independent sector Last I checked Exxon was pretty independent. With those choices, we’d be better off sticking with nonprofit.
