Do You Notice Facebook Ads?

Confidence in Facebook's growth potential and marketability is dwindling, and now claims that Facebook ads don't work are threatening to shake it even more. According to Forbes, Facebook is jumping on damage control because General Motors dropped its $10 million in Facebook advertising. Not that $10 million is much to Facebook, but the message it sends could be disastrous.

To address the situation, Facebook outlined what a good ad should include: a focal point, brand link, tone, reward, noticeability, and finally, a point. If an ad doesn't have those things, it risks being ignored. Of course, companies like General Motors would argue that it's the platform that needs work, rather than the ads themselves. Do you tend to notice good Facebook ads, or do you ignore them completely?

    Toned them out when I tried them and saw fb recorded 100 hits and charge me for it, but the server noted one hit from one ip address to the webpage connected to the account.

    I'm completely de-sensitized to online ads. But on occasion there will be an ad that gets it right! Either they are actually funny, or actually true. But this applies to maybe... 2% of them... tops.

    I ignore them! Endless and ever repeating advertising is annoying and off putting. I ignore what I can and vow never to use a product that annoys me. Someone should tell the advertising agencies that endless repitition and point pounding are more likely to form a hate rather than a loving or desireable feeling. Pounding away at your point may have worked once, but it does not work anymore. People shut out and ignore what annoys them.

    I use Adblock! Where an ad would be, there is whitespace.

    Never saw an ad there in my life. Then again, I just recently found out YouTube had video ads too (never saw one myself). Adblock is just too awesome.

    Only when they're particularly blatantly stupid. I once saw an add about "taking care of your baby" with a picture from Sims 2, claiming it would bring you to "Habobo Hotel" (sp?) with a different, but equally weird URL under it. My response: 0.0

    notice them..?? Yes. Click on them. Not usually. Too often that takes you to an unpleasant place, If the subject is interesting, I'll seek it out myself.

    Chrome and Firefox offer Ad Block Plus as an extension, works great, I don't know if it's offered on any other browser.

    It originated on Firefox; though now you can get it on nearly any browser. As a result, the picture is a bit misleading, making it look like ABP is a Google Chrome only add-on.

    I was going to put the FF one but I don't even use that browser any more, Chrome I find is way faster and less laggy with no random shut downs.
