Dr. Augustine Fou
So What?
“If you’re an advertiser looking for returns on
your ad spend, buying ‘premium’ from publishers
who have great content that real humans want
to read is the way to go.
Then you don’t even need to worry as much
about “viewability” because what matters is if
the ad is shown to humans (not bots) so it CAN
convert.”
-- Dr. Augustine Fou
