A big “Thank You” to Steve Souders and Tony Ralph for their graciousness and help. I also want to thank everyone that attended my session. It was great sharing our experience at Edmunds with all of you guys and for getting your feedback from you and the larger community.
I was especially heartened to see that the techniques we used at Edmunds back in late 2008 were being recommended by the Google, Shopzilla and Meebo engineers this year.
See you all next year and please rate my session and write a comment if you could :-)
Cheers!
Is it possible? Ads on my site that don’t destroy performance? Ismail has a lot of experience dealing with ads on Edmunds.com. His lessons learned will benefit anyone who serves ads on their site.
