Advertising Stories – Details, episodes & analysis

This excerpt from Peter Levitan's fast-growing blog post "How To Move To Mexico" provides a persuasive argument for Americans to relocate to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Levitan highlights the numerous benefits of living in Mexico, including a lower cost of living, a welcoming culture, and a thriving expat community. He downplays safety concerns by citing statistics and emphasizing that crime primarily affects Mexicans involved in drug trafficking. Levitan further asserts that remote work is readily accessible in San Miguel de Allende and that the town boasts a high quality of life with beautiful architecture and a vibrant arts scene. He concludes by encouraging readers to consider moving to Mexico, offering to share his insights and experiences.

Malvertising Is Hijacking Your User Experience And The Advertising World.

"Hello. This is Wells Fargo Bank please open this important message by sending us your account number and password. Oh, and while you are at it, how about sending us your social security number?"

OK, a no go? Really?  How about you send President Mugabe $25,000 for his startup in Papua New Guinea? Or, we can all just go to Amazon and buy a new Apple watch? I'll need all of your screen names, passwords, credit card, and a recent photo of your youngest child.

Does all of this sound insane? Well, people deliver personal information to strangers every day because they fall for malvertising. Hey, advertisers and publishers, and even you, it is time you hear from a malvertising expert. Here is Peter's interview with Matt Gillis, the CEO of clean.io -- the experts in eliminating the world of malvertising.
