Facebook Ads Offensive? Irrelevant?

12 02 2009

So the excitement of the day around facebook ads, is how a respected blogger and social media expert Louis Gray posted: I Just Marked All Facebook Ads as Offensive. So Should You. While i feel Louis’s pain, and if i had a nickel for every time i saw an offensive ad on the internet (been working here for over 10 yrs) i would be playing golf somewhere very warm.

Everyone just has to be a little patient … Like i said in a comment on Louis’s post:

Louis – you got to give them time….. Most people dont remember late 2000 when adwords launched it was also common to see non-relevant ads (and they didnt have to decode user profiles, they just had to match keywords).

In time the advertisers will come, fb will enhance their ad platform & using facebook ads will become as common as advertising on adwords.

im following the progress at my new blog; adsonfacebook.wordpress.com – check it out.

thanks

People are very quick to forget that facebook provides them with a FREE  social networking experience. No one is asking you to pay for using facebook, in fact they are telling you to use it as much as your heart desires & enjoy it – but lets try to cut them some slack as they prepare to try to build the most advanced advertising platform on the net ALL TO SUPPORT YOUR FREE & UNLIMITED USE OF FACEBOOK and all its features…

So, just ignore the ads for a while if they bother you & before you know it you will be asking how they heck the ads on facebook dont even feel like ads bec they soo damm relevent.

ok, </rant>
