META IS EARNING A FORTUNE ON A DELUGE OF FRAUDULENT ADS, DOCUMENTS SHOW

Meta earns billions from scam ads. 10% of its 2024 revenue (about $16 billion) was tied to fraudulent or banned ads. Users see 15B high-risk scam ads daily, and many suspicious advertisers remain active unless fraud is nearly certain, sometimes paying higher rates instead of being banned. Lenient policies, algorithmic amplification, and high-value accounts worsen the problem. Meta plans to gradually reduce this through measures like penalty bids.

‘A SAFE BET': BRANDS ARE DIGGING INTO THEIR AD ARCHIVES FOR CREATIVE INSPIRATION

Brands are revisiting their archives to recreate past campaigns for today's audiences. They're leaning on nostalgia and existing fandoms to reconnect with consumers. Gushers turned its '90s “Fruitheads” ad into a short horror film, Pringles updated its “Once You Pop” tagline, Columbia Sportswear drew on early extreme-product-testing spots, and Acuvue partnered with a creator to revive a mid-2000s campaign. The key is modernizing the work so it feels relevant rather than dated.

HOW TO ANSWER 3 BIG, SCARY ANNUAL PLANNING QUESTIONS (IN DAYS, NOT MONTHS)

Validate revenue targets with a bottom-up forecast using realistic conversion rates and lead or account data to ensure top-down goals are achievable.

HOW TO RUN VISUAL QUERY FAN-OUT ANALYSIS IN SCREAMING FROG USING OPENAI

Google's new “visual search fan-out” uses AI to analyze image details and generate related search queries, expanding SEO beyond keywords. A custom Screaming Frog tool powered by OpenAI's Vision API mimics this process, revealing missed optimization opportunities by detecting overlooked objects, styles, and attributes. Tests show many e-commerce images lack context for visual elements like color, material, or use case, limiting visibility. Adding these insights to alt text, descriptions, and on-page content can boost search reach.

EVERGREEN VS. LAUNCH MARKETING

Evergreen marketing provides steady revenue and long-term growth, while launches generate quick cash and market momentum. Evergreen works best for consistent offers like SaaS, retainers, or memberships. Launches suit timed products such as bootcamps, cohorts, or drops, offering fast visibility but higher risk. Combining both by running evergreen systems for predictable revenue and adding 3-4 launches per year creates urgency and drives new demand.
