		<description><![CDATA[With convergence of web and TV media, and more savvy online users just over the horizon, the usefulness of pay-per-click has unquestionably diminished...

		<description><![CDATA[The Saints weren’t the only winners in this year’s Super Bowl XLIV. Even with celebrities like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, John Travolta, and an additional 74,000 in the stadium, the real audience seemed to be the record-breaking 153.4 million viewers.

Every year, the commercials are always strongly anticipated.  As marketers, we too, at Direct Partners excitedly await the Super Bowl commercials. Not only do we have our own opinions, but we have some questions too? How do the most liked ads compare with the most viewed ads? How do those compare with the most recalled ads? And how do they compare with our personal favorites?]]></description>
