What was on the minds of Display Advertisers in 2013? RTB? DSPs? DMPs? Indeed, it was all of these acronyms, which you can clearly see from looking at our list of top 10 columns for the year. (By the way, those stand for real-time bidding, demand-side platforms and data management platforms — all aspects of the increasingly popular programmatic media buying landscape.)
Our generous contributor Ratko Vidakovic hit it out of the park with a guide to moving beyond AdWords to Demand-Side Platforms, and with so many other columns covering this emerging area of the display ad landscape. Thanks, Ratko!
Other hot topics included the seemingly-imminent demise of the cookie and musings on what might replace it, as well as explorations of what the growth of mobile devices means for display.
Following are our top 10 Display Advertising columns published in 2013, ranked based on pageviews gathered via Google Analytics.
