I agree with Guest - Not One Person's comment. I use FB all the time and find the ads annoying. The ads are also not targeted, so ugly pants get marketed to people who prefer khakis.

However, when I use social networks related to business interests relevant to me, I am much more likely to click on the ads. At the end of the day, all types of ads have their place, but we are still in the process of refining these "new-ish technologies, so FB could be on to something. Let's see how it goes!

FACEBOOK's name should be FACELESS BOOK. You are impressed by 15 billion dollars. There's an old saying "A DEAD ELEPHANT IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A LIVE ONE". [Dead elephants have removable tuskers] . Microsfy started calling itself LIVE (everthything) just to increase its value. G is removing tuskers from FACEBOOK and you'll see how that joint disappears.

CYA

These mega-sites could become more cost-effective alternatives to the traditional SEM campaigns on the major engines, especially considering Yahoo and Google's new agreement and what it could mean for the future.  While the volume will likely never approach search, one could see how the ability to be extra-relevant might compensate.

I personally do not know one person who uses Facebook that found anything useful from an ad. In fact, most responses I have heard have been slightly offended and weirded out by the relevance of the ads in conjunction with their profile - and that is just from the people who even noticed the ads, which is a very low percentage.

I've tried a few campaigns and they didn't perform at all. Sure, I got impressions but 0 people clicking on them.

People don't mind advertising. And people don't mind relevant advertising. But there is a line that can be crossed over that turns people off - and they won't be turned off by the advertiser. They'll turn off Facebook.

With all the spam you guys send out, all you can get are two lousy comments on this one??

I get the targeting....But the pants are God awful! These guys better cast a MUCH wider net if they want to sell any of those things!
