Comments on: Advertising on Facebook – Part Three http://www.snipe.net/2009/02/advertising-on-facebook-part-three/ Bitterness never tasted so sweet Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:23:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: snipe http://www.snipe.net/2009/02/advertising-on-facebook-part-three/comment-page-1/#comment-7461 snipe Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:01:54 +0000 http://www.snipe.net/?p=1310#comment-7461 Hi Rich - I believe your ads just need to comply with their guidelines, they don't care what ad network you use: http://www.facebook.com/ad_guidelines.php Interestingly, since this blog post was created, Facebook actually put their foot down and disallowed the kinds of ads that I mentioned here, even so far as to block ad networks that didn't get their ads compliant within the deadline they gave them. As a result, of course, my ad revenue hit the toilet, and its barely worth me running ads at all. So no, you don't have to use one of the engines I mentioned. You may run into javascript issues if you try to use an ad network that isn't optimized for Facebook though. Also, none of the FB ad networks are running those kinds of ads anymore.

I am currently implementing a Facebook app. I am trying o determine what the formal rules are regarding advertising inside of a FB app. Do you have to use one of the engines you mention? What if you already have an ad server and inventory and don't want to use the misleading social ad firms? Do you know of any formal documentation on FB app ad policy? Any help appreciated.

Isn't it great how simple applications can spread and become so popular so quickly? That's the beauty of Facebook. The user base is built in, and the mechanism to spread your app around is right at the user's fingertips. I just blew a kiss to five friends… some to people I haven’t seen or talked to in months!

The one I originally wrote about for this post has had a drop in users (not uncommon), but you can find it at http://apps.facebook.com/blowkisses Its absurdly simple, to the point of being embarrassing. I hadn't expected it to catch on - was just writing it as a tutorial app. I do much more interesting and sophisticated stuff for work :) Hi Tony – I have a few.
