The BusinessWeek cover story details how advanced analytical tools provided by Microsoft Advertising allow for smarter and more cost-effective media buying and selling. Clients now have the ability to follow user behavior at a far greater depth. These analytic tools, the article suggests, hint more at where web advertising is going.

 

Getting the Most out of Content
