Now you must create a Facebook Ad and then keep the Sponsored Story default selection.

#5: Use the URL of Your Facebook Page to Edit the Title of Your Ad

If you enter the URL of your Facebook Page, rather than select your Facebook Page from the drop-down menu, you can then edit the headline.

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.

Getting the Most Out of Facebook Ads

When General Motors pulled its advertising from Facebook, many took it as an indication that the social network’s ad products didn’t work. But in reality, the pullout tells a different story.

This year, some marketers have reduced spending on Premium ads so they can reassess the ads’ effectiveness. As a result, Facebook has seen weaker-than-expected revenues in 2012. However, the company has another side to its ad business, and that self-serve platform, Marketplace, is gaining new prominence.

According to Social Fresh, the most common targeting criterion has been age, used either, always or often by 55% of US respondents. But fewer than one-third of respondents targeted people based on their language (26%) or their education (24%).

Facebook Exchange to Allow Real-Time Bidding for Sidebar Ads

Facebook will introduce a new service called Facebook Exchange, which will allow advertisers to bid in real-time for ads on the social network, The service will allow advertisers to target specific types of Facebook users based on their browsing histories with pricing to be based on cost per thousand viewers, and spots to be sold via third-party technology partners.

TechCrunch offered this guide to how Facebook Exchange will work:

- A user visits a travel site that hired a demand-side platform (one of the third-party technology partners listed below) supporting Facebook Exchange.

- A cookie is dropped on that user’s computer, typically when they have shown purchase intent.

- If the user fails to make a purchase, or the advertiser wants to market to them more, the DSP contacts Facebook and gives them that user’s anonymous user ID.

Initially there were 5 separate ad choices:

The new ad system will now be centered on blending ads into the social experience of Facebook. Ads will mainly appear in your timeline if a friend has liked the brand, and most ads will be centered around your network.

Facebook’s New Ads Will Recreate Marketing

The new advertising feature will still include the like and comment section from their current ad structure. Facebook had tested the ads internally and says that they produce 40% more engagement, and are 80% more likely to be remembered.

Leaked documents show the future of Facebook advertising, and it is a radical shift from the traditional online display. Facebook has turned ads into a conversation, having Facebook users interact with the brands that their friends have connected with on the site. The new Facebook marketing materials state, “When people hear about your from friends, they listen”. Facebook says that is willing removing their previous display units in favor of the news ad, and their other marketing campaign – the read, watch, learn advertising that will appear in your News Feed.
