G+_Marlon Thompson Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I just opened the Facebook app and scrolled down about 7 times and I have yet to see a facebook ad. I even used a friend's iphone and she as well doesn't see ads. Is this an outside of the US thing? I am confused as I cannot tell you the last time I saw a mobile ad on facebook. Is that study flawed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Neil Sedlak Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 They show up as "Suggested Apps" or "Suggested Post" and have existing since the end of last year. It's possible you aren't in the test group. Perhaps the high return rate is based on the fact that they were "tested" on a focus group expected to click through on them, artificially inflating the numbers! http://www.insidefacebook.com/2012/10/22/facebook-tests-suggested-post-label-for-non-social-news-feed-ads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Neil Sedlak Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 As I said, you might not be in the test group, or you may have opted out at some point in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 But Neil Sedlak the article that Jason Howell referred to last night talked about the difference in revenue in mobile ads between android and ios in the facebook app, not the beta app or in the test group, this was all facebook users. And I haven't opted out of anything I checked my settings, yet I am not seeing sponsored posts or apps. I believe I saw them before but I cannot tell you the last time I saw one. I am asking are other users seeing them. If not how viable is the report. Are you seeing the ads Neil Sedlak and Holly M. Paddock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Right and I see it on desktop but not on my app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
