 What is Facebook Social Ads?

Facebook uses social ads to make revenue by showing your liked pages to your friends and the liked pages from them to you by mentioning your name that XYZ like this at your account right sidebar (See the screenshot). And this concept works great for them to maximize their revenue. As this leads to a Like for that page by your friend too and then by his friends etc. and this cycle goes on.

    • Thanks di for your kind words! Yeah,it’s very important to be active on these type of social sites as they keep changing its privacy policy and settings.Recently,Instagram(Popular photos sharing Service)updates its policy that it can use your photos and personal data in their advertising options And as soon as people got this news they started leaving the service.And finally Instagram have to roll back policy on Advertising 😀
