Everyone’s idea
is the best
right?
People love
this part!
(but that’s not always
a good thing)
This is where
things fall
No data,
no
learning.

So here is a video on Monetate for Personalization Overview instead

21. Side note... For Optimisation at scale using machine learning to work reliably
Then structure data input is needed (so the machines don’t need to guess data relationships)

22. But there`s no standardised website data structure yet...

23. However, JSON-LD (part of schema.org) is winning the standardisation race with 18% adoption
See live example: http://bit.ly/winningthewar33

24. Personalisation layer
Off site optimisation is also needed so that Ad + Landing page + Personalisation is seamless
