‘TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW': LADBIBLE BOSS ON THE TRAFFIC HIT FROM META'S FEED SHAKE-UP

Digital publishers are getting squeezed from both sides. Meta is prioritizing creator content over publisher links, cutting ad revenue, while Google's AI Overviews reduce search traffic by answering queries directly. Some publishers report CTR drops as high as 89%. Search traffic is projected to fall over 40% in three years, after steep declines from Facebook and X. A new UK ruling allows publishers to block Overviews without losing search rankings, adding leverage.

AI WON'T SAVE ADVERTISING

AI hype is sweeping advertising, expectations are overblown. Fully automated ad creation isn't realistic and risks hurting the ecosystem. Like programmatic before it, AI won't replace human judgment. Its real value is improving productivity and workflows. Meanwhile, creators are becoming full-stack businesses, blurring lines with agencies. The industry is shifting toward data-driven marketing, but AI alone won't deliver the transformation many expect.

4 WAYS TO NOT LET YOUR LOYALTY PROGRAM LIVE IN A SILO

Most loyalty programs fail because they're barely visible. Email flows should surface points, rewards, and status in welcome, post-purchase, and ongoing campaigns. Subscription flows should reinforce value with milestone updates and highlight what's lost during cancellation. Landing pages should surface perks upfront instead of burying them in footers. Retail experiences should connect online and in-store so that earning and redemption work both ways.

Use Google Ads audience targeting as a filter to reduce invalid clicks when click fraud is hurting your campaign performance. One account cut its invalid click rate by 50% after adding hundreds of Google predefined audiences and setting them to Targeting instead of Observation. The approach limits ads to users who match both keywords and Google's audience signals. It works best for accounts with unusually high invalid click rates because it can also exclude legitimate users who do not fit Google's predefined audiences.
