It seems Jeb Harrison who teaches history and economics is now selling space on every test handout and worksheet that readsMLT’S PIZZA 14″ 1 TPPING JUST $5 in bright red inch-high letters printed along the bottom of every page. This is indeed a practical lesson in economics. Maybe some people have heard of this in-school advertising happening elsewhere because it’s becoming common. I thought it was amusing as well but to read about it taking place at my alma mater was almost too much. School officials were reportedly not wild about the idea — and it may even violate a few rules — but Pocatello High School Principal Don Cotant relented. The 12000-student school district is looking at a shortfall of up to $10 million next year because of expected cuts in state funding.

Geiger has this advice for businesses that are finding it harder to get bank financing: “With bank lending so restricted today the best bet for a small business is to grow your revenues so you don’t need to borrow funds. Cut expenses and buy advertising that offers a good return on investment. In other words advertise your way to profitability.

This is the first time any major network has shown examples of catching major fraud on their network and come out to attack and take on advertising fraud directly. After noticing that the publisher was committing fraud for a few days Lattin decided to take steps to track and monitor this and several other questionable publishers until he had the evidence to show exactly what was happening. “I’m completely sick and tired of much of the industry’s response to this” said Lattin. “Fraud coming from advertisers and publishers is rampant throughout the industry and some networks are ignoring it as long as they make money. ” According to Lattin in the last six months these problems in interactive advertising have become even more severe as people become desperate about the economy.
