Facebook Limits How Many Ads a Fan Page Can Run

In order to improve the ads’ performance, Facebook will limit the amount of ads that fan pages can run. Ultimately, this will depend on the page size and the monthly budget spent on advertising. This measure was taken to prevent ads from being delivered less frequently.

Facebook Confirms It Won’t Ban Political Ads

Facebook confirms that it will not limit the way political ads target its audience and voters. Many consider this a bad decision, as it still does not limit the lies and misinformation in those ads. The only solution the platform offers is to give users more control tools so they can manage the amount of ads they see.

News, news and more news today with marketing updates from Motion Ave! Find out the latest trends this week on Spotify, Amazon, and more!

Maybe They Won’t Go Premium Now

Spotify’s the biggest music streaming service in the world, and many of its members get their music free- a proven business model, but one that can benefit hugely from targeting, which hasn’t been Spotify’s style until now. Spotify now allows advertisers to target ads based on podcast listening patterns- but for now, just podcasts. Don’t worry, no one’s going to judge you for still listening to Kanye.

Spark, We Hardly Knew Ye

Remember how exciting Amazon’s social network was, and how users flocked to the platform with photos of hand towel unboxing? Yeah, us either. “Spark” has gone forever, failing to overtake Instagram in shopping porn innovation. Amazon will have to accept that, for now, it can’t be all things in all areas of members’ online experience- yet.

Buy This Too “Complete Your Look” With Pinterest

When you’re buying a $1,500 stereo, it’d be crazy not to get a hand-woven aboriginal art throw blanket to go with it, right? Pinterest finally gets it. This new option allows Pinterest to offer relevant products based on the image the user is viewing. For example, if you are looking for a room design pin, Pinterest will suggest images of objects that usually appear in this context, lamps, furniture and any other decorative element.

Facebook Invents Time Travel Updates Its Post Comments Ranking

Have you noticed that your post comments sometimes don’t appear in chronological order? Blame- or thank- Facebook’s new comment ranking algorithm. The platform is preparing an update to improve relevance by ranking comments based on their likelihood to “generate greater engagement.” We suspect this will lead to some pretty funny-looking “conversations” in the comment threads for a while.
