Google is reportedly developing technology that would create a market for data designed to help target display ads better, according to a report in Ad Age that cites "executives familiar with Google's plans." The story says the data exchange is known internally as "DDP," and, according to comments made by Google ad chief Neil Mohan, it sounds like this ability for publishers and advertisers to capitalize on user data will be baked into a variety of products, rather than existing as a standalone offering. Mohan was quoted as saying, "If our vision is a comprehensive one, it needs to con [...]
