A fellow Right Media employee, friend, and one of the smartest ad guys I know named Mike Nolet is now blogging at MikeOnAds.com.
It looks like Mike is aiming to uncover mysteries and dispel some of the common myths about things in the ad business, and his first major post is a good one that teaches people about what’s in an advertising cookie. Many adware and spyware removal programs accuse cookies from ad companies as being spyware-related, when as Mike shows they aren’t that nefarious by explaining how they work and what’s really in an ad cookie.
I’m looking forward to learning more from Mike about many of the technical details of the ad network/exchange/technology world, so keep it up Mike!
A friend wants to use cookies on her site. The site is hosted by a Web hosting company, but the company says it doesn’t support cookies. In fact, she checked with a few hosting companies, and they all say they don’t support cookies. Do you know 1) any Web hosting companies that support cookies, and/or 2) whether you need to host your own site in order to use cookies? We can’t seem to get this question answered. Your help is greatly appreciated.
