Better Milk As Much As You Can Before Anything Comes Hard Again!! Facebook IPO News

Facebook joins alliance to fight ‘bad ads’ — Facebook joined Google, Twitter and AOL in an alliance this week against ads that deliver malware, direct users to scams or try to sell counterfeit goods. The alliance will develop industry policy recommendations and best practices, as well as share information about “bad actors” who might try to advertise on a new network after being shut down by another.

Interesting.

Let's hope that this conglomerate isn't quite as trigger-happy as Google is with their Adwords accounts.

I'd hope most affiliates are trying to avoid ads that push malware, counterfeit goods and scams too!

I think a lot of affiliates are hypersensitive to the word 'scam'. Many of the offers we promote are sketchy, but they don't qualify as scams. They often rely on user stupidity to succeed. But this is advertising. We're specialists in selling the bullshit dream.

I don't think too much will change on Facebook as long as you're not trying to sell Delboy goods out of the back of a van. Then again, I don't involve myself with the murkier side of advertising on Facebook, that of the cloaking variety. Anybody basing a business around cloaking should definitely be looking to milk the platform while it lasts, because it's unlikely to last for long.

I would agree with you finch. As far as I'm concerned, pretty much none of what is marketed could be called a 'scam' as that would imply taking the customer's money and not delivering what was agreed upon. Stealing credit card numbers, Nigerian prices, etc... that's a scam. Not reading the fine print and ending up with a rebill... that's the customer's fault (as you put it, relying on stupidity to succeed).

My main concern is that in making their advertising 'cleaner' they will be more apt to do things like ban accounts or whatnot in the name of being an internet white knight, even if the offer itself is completely legitimate. But, I'm staying away from Facebook at the moment, so if I head back there I suppose I would be re-starting after they've finalized their new policies or whatnot.

Ahah, this is probably to save facebook's ass. They are being sued because of their messy IPO & try to rebuild their image asap with "good intentions" alliances etc

Quick read Confirmed Goldman Sachs Invests in facebook at 50Billion

Goldman Sachs was a massive share holder of facebook before their IPO, and probably sold every shares they had on the first day - highest rate of the shares.. Yep this is shady.

I believe this whole thing is BS, it's like google saying they have neutralized positive & negative effect of spam links..
It's just to sound good to people having their eggs in facebook/google/aol's pockets

Wow! I have just made up my mind to work on Facebook. But I am a great fan of Finch's Premium Posts so I would support to work on long term campaigns on Facebook. It could be harder than cloaking, but I believe it should worth the extra effort.

With long term campaigns though you need to be careful. Nothing worse than running at a loss for weeks to build a fanpage up in the hope sponsored stories are going to run you into profit, then have the offer go down and a relatively useless fanpage remaining, trust me. If you're going to go for long term on Facebook it's better to think in terms of building a fanpage based around some topic, such that you are pooling highly interested users into a cluster that you can later advertise to, and advertise to their friends. Basically like building a list in a social sense, but not advertising to them onpage so they don't even know they're being prequalified.

Actually it make me laugh when i see Face book ads in Google adword. I thought that it was simply a waste. But in reality its not. Advertising is a thing that is needed by every body. From the popular to newbie
I don't know what's the future of FB. But i think that they are just in the beginning period. we are going to see a lot more of FB.
