that is a lot of the disagreement - an advertiser will be like "hey only 10 percent of who i gave a poo poo about saw my ad, not gonna pay"

clearly publishers/content owners do not like that unless they themselves can predict the % breakout in advance as well

so much like now it's in everyones' best interests to lie about everything and the data itself is completely worthless and also not in any way related to the "value" of the service?

i am significantly more likely to consider purchasing and deploying MALD, JSOW & HARM in my next engagement against an advanced military force after having seen this informative advertisement.

the demonstration of the product in a hypothetical scenario along with the itemized feature list and tactical benefits of each portion of the SAM system really brought it together for me

the value of this ad watched exclusively by no one at all is that one day a person already looking for a thing related to the ad will find a site involving the product in the ad no one saw and perhaps make a purchase there that they would have made in either case

so if you sell more ad space your website could be the lucky one used to funnel the consumer to the product they were already looking for

this adds value to the chain because
