Facebook to Delete Page Likes and Improve Site Integrity

It estimates that less than 1 per cent of Likes will be automatically removed from Fan pages and it will only remove Likes that have not been abiding by Facebook’s terms.

How Facebook Search Ads Change the Competitive Landscape for Business

For years of search marketing, companies have had to bid on their own keywords to protect their brand and avoid losing traffic to competitors. Now they’ll probably have to do it for Facebook, too.

Facebook announced its plans to offer search-based advertisements called Sponsored Results last month. It seems that if Sponsored Results comes out of beta and expands to more advertisers, the competitive landscape of the social network may increase to the point that businesses will have to pay for these ads just to ensure they aren’t being overshadowed by competitors. In the process, Facebook can collect more revenue than ever.

Facebook Now Reports Average News Feed Position for Sponsored Stories

Facebook is now offering advertisers new metrics about how their Sponsored Stories perform in News Feed, including the average position within the feed where the story was inserted.

This additional data will help advertisers understand how their ads are performing on the social network and how they might better optimize campaigns. Several early tests have found that News Feed-based ads have significantly higher clickthrough rates than sidebar ads. As Facebook provides data to show how well ads work within the feed, advertisers will increasingly want to run ads in that placement.
