WTF Digital Marketing Moments

By Giselle Abramovich • April 2, 2012 •

Digiday’s newest Tumblr WTF Digital Marketing is a place where people can share the digital marketing moments that make them scratch their heads. It’s happened to the best of us: bad ad placements, crappy landing pages, QR codes where there’s no wireless service.

Here’s some of our latest posts:

WSJ — WSJ's lack of a simple site redirect on mobile. Going to http://wsj.com takes you to the full site instead of the mobile-optimized version.

Bad Pull-ups ad — Gotta love the blurry ads.

QR CODE — Using a QR code on a subway ad, where there's no wireless service.
