It’s no surprise the industry was abuzz over Limited Run’s claim, with GM ditching Facebook, the (laughable) BBC “investigation”, and plummeting-as-we-speak stock prices post their IPO. Looking at aimClear’s total organic traffic from every source...
It probably doesn’t hurt to generate some über-happy, heartwarming content in the wake of Facebook’s problem-riddled IPO, an advertising controversy, and revelations of 83 million fake profiles. Twitter launched their Stories site back in November...
Half-hearted “investigations” from the BBC, the pre-IPO announcement from GM, unverified accusations, and limited experience anecdotes all feed on the media frenzy around Facebook’s IPO but contain little substance.
Facebook post-IPO monetization push continues. The ads would appear alongside Facebook's organic results when users conduct searches for specific pages or places (rather than keywords, ala Google AdWords) on the social network.

If Groupon’s IPO has taught us one thing, it’s that the daily deal market isn’t nearly as easy to replicate as previously assumed by business analysts. Google must remember that glasses will always be considered a fashion piece first.
The answer, ironically, can be found in analyzing the way Google handled its IPO. They went to great lengths to IPO in such a way that stockholders would not control enough voting stock where pressure from the Street would begin to bleed into...
