<title>Lookery Moves to Ad Optimization with Universal Ad Tags</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After selling its ad network to AdKnowldge last year, <a href="http://www.lookery.com/">Lookery</a> has been focused on pushing other tools for improving the overall business of publishing ads across the web.  The latest in its feature set is the Lookery Ad Controller, which features the Universal Ad Tag.</p>
<p>This means that publishers can now push ad content out to multiple networks on a more automated basis, while still retaining control.  It works by allowing publishers to create a Universal Ad Tag within Lookery, then add third-party ad tags and publishers can then determine how Lookery should rotate between the ad tags.  Drop the Universal Ad Tag code on your site, and Lookery takes care of the rest.<br />

<title>Interview With Scott Rafer of Lookery</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>This week I had the opportunity to speak with Scott Rafer of Lookery.  Lookery is a social media ad network which launched when the Facebook platform launched.  Scott and his business partner began building a basic backend to connect the advertisers and the inventory.  In contrast to one of my previous podcasts where the ad network was focused on generating the maximum CPM, Lookery focuses on filling bulk inventory.</p>
<p>In turn this means that their CPMs are closer to the bottom than the top but the bottom line is that they can fill inventory and in a world of limitless inventory, that&#8217;s an important role.  Scott was very straight-forward during our podcast with Lookery&#8217;s model of generating revenue and what their business model is.</p>
<p>One of the things that stood out to me during our inventory was that Scott suggests that focusing on trying to target people with demographic data really isn&#8217;t working currently and this is something they aren&#8217;t focused on.  While they do try to provide a basic level of targeting, they are not trying to revolutionized the advertising world with their business model.   They simply fill inventory and fill it effectively.</p>
<p>Check out the podcast below to here more about Lookery&#8217;s business model and Scott&#8217;s thoughts on the future of advertising on the social web.</p>
