Facebook Ads Launching Tonight

i'd better join facebook and other social networking sites. i should have joined years ago, but then again i should have started blogging years ago. better late then never

@BareFly. LOL.
Let's hope we can get something out of it.

Cool! Now facebook will be earning six figures a month!

They have a long way to go. They don't tell you why you get disapproved and their tracking is non-existent. I didn't realize they did not accept affiliate links until I read it in these comments. I can't even find where they have their Terms of Service.

This is completely Bush League!

What an awesome opportunity to monetize the largest network in the world.

Facebook, is like the internet within the internet. I can think of a dozen ways to make money off facebook with this type of advertising.

This may sound shallow, but given that most of my online income arrives via paypal, it pisses me off when a site doesn't accept paypal.

I'll never understand why Facebook seems like such a lucrative deal. To me the site is totally boring.

Yes you can make money on facebook! i was testing yesterday when they launched Facebook Ads, and Flyers Pro stopped working.

I made two sales for one secret product you know? :twisted:
You just need to find a niche were young guys are interested (hint *cough*girls*cough*) or girls too.

Thats not an affiliate product, because they are not acepted :wink:

Well i'm testing it now....got a few ideas going. Let see if any actally works...

The only thing facebook does for me is the photos, wall and private messages. Anything else is like spam :)

Haha great, another thing that'll just clutter up Facebook. I personally liked them much better before their applications. If this affects the layout in a large way it'll probably be the last nail in the coffin for me.

Bastard, rolling this out right as BlogWorld Expo starts? I guess I'll have to wait until Monday to exploit this.

Google's open platform announced is for a revolutionary technology to give smartphone users access to the web. It will take time however and the mobile phone industry apart from, MS are jittery. Facebook have also announced that it is with the permission of their subscribers only information about them will be shared with advertisers.

That's good for facebook. But I don't know if we can really make some money from facebook. Can anyone tell me?
Thank you very much.

I launched a group on facebook a couple months ago in order to promote my blog. Never had much luck. I'm thinking that the fact that my company can have an actual profile now will change that.

Myspace on the other hand.... lots and lots of traffic.

Wow, its hard to believe that there are so many social networking sites that are even that successful. With myspace, facebook, hi5, xanga, friendster...

I'm surprised these networking sites stay so popular!

Wow, sooner or later, every money lovers will be fleeing social network sites like Friendster and MySpace just to make money on Facebook.

Facebook for me is the greatest ever social network site. This will be a big step forward for them

Rivalry is always a good thing. Hopefully we will all gain from this competition.

Had heard about this a few days ago.. now good to see this being launched.
Would be a great one!

Hmm. I bet Facebook will find a way to make millions of dollars. Hopefully it won't be as annoying as adsense ads!

Will have to check it out

So how can we exploit this to profit? Something I'm sure you won't tell us....
*runs off to figure it out himself*

As long as they keep ads restrained to that little sidebar Im happy.

More evidence of the increasing importance of social networking platforms i guess.

And weren't you complaining earlier John, that Facebook does not know how to make money? They must have heard you. :wink:

Why should Google be the only one to earn. Will just have to wait for the facebook IPO :razz:

FINALLY ITS HERE!!!!

As said above, I hope Facebook doesn't turn into another MySpace. It's bad enough there's already so many applications which clutter pages, the last thing they need is ads.

This is very big, and they're open about its capabilities now

Everything's going to the advertising bandwagon. I like facebook as it is but who would not want extra income, right?

It is time Facebook start monetizing their site to make more money, With so many targeted members, offering adspace within will surely be a considerable offer for marketers who are serious to make a turnover. :mrgreen:

Microsoft get the good thing this time.

This is interesting because the Facebook crowd is the kind that will click on a lot of stuff I think. I mean, they have to click to do almost anything on that site. I'd like to see what the click thru rate is.

There is also potential that it may be lost in all the applications that are available. It's already pretty cluttered as it is.

It will be interesting in the next few days to see how this new platform is used. I believe we will continue to see the clean interface and the new adds will stay within this framework.

I bet Google AdSense wishes they can get into this racket somehow.

Yes, I really prefer the clean and simple interface of Facebook than the spammy MySpace.
But I wonder how an internet marketer can take advantages of this opportunity.

hmm..very interseted in beacon and insight

social ads didnt play or work for me not too sure if it is just like facebook flyers pro - but I found it to be useless - since I keep getting rejected for my ads not too damn sure!

I willw ant to try these 2 new features tho!

Is that an "I already have something planned" smell that lingers around this post, John? :D

Honestly, I probably won't be taking advantage of this move as an Internet marketer. As a result, and as a regular FaceBook user, I just hope the adverts don't take FaceBook to the same place as Myspace (the trash can).

And who would those internet marketers be ? You ;-)
