Facebook will user targeted ads
Remember when you thought Facebook was so much better than MySpace? Think again. The social networking site has developed a new target ad system based on the information you put in your profile.
The more detail a profile reveals about a user the more the site will target the ads. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that this system will “let marketers target users with ads based on the massive amounts of information people reveal on the site about themselves” and in the future the site will “predict what products and services users might be interested in even before they have specifically mentioned an area.”
Social networking sites have been historically hard to earn revenue from. It wasn’t until MySpace struck a deal with Google that the money really started to roll in.
As one search engine once put it “Do no evil” may only apply to when you first start up.
