FaceBook Slap! We called it first !

While kinda.

If you look in our pages section. We did post about the changes at FB and how now the people have spoken and don’t like the current ads.

The last few days the blogs on AFFBUZZ (we mentioned them  a long time ago) are full of  the new policy’s and I am hearing of the bloodshed.

5 figure incomes shredded.

Well, what did you expect ?

Google did it, AOL online before them. Now, FaceBook!

Sorry guys.

I have said this since my 1st month in PPC.

That we need to look at the past and learn.

Apply the lessons of the Columbia Record club, CAN-SPAM, Infor-mercials.

All the ‘grey’ and ‘black’ hat marketing and lawsuits that have happened from them.

I have read some marketers whining about how FaceBook and Google should NOT dictate policy and that people can make their own choices.

Sorry, industry and government disagree and they are larger then you.

I have always said and will always say.

Get the lawyers, marketers, accountants and consumers all working together.

You don’t need to screw people over to make money and fast money is no good if you leave pissed people you cant go back to.

No one likes to be screwed or conned AND we all love a great deal and getting more then we paid for.

I dont like censorship. I also do not like ‘crap’ and FB and Google are just trying to keep what they think is ‘crap’ by level of complaints ‘off their porch’

I dont like it, but if it was your network. Would you really be any different if a group of advertisers were pissing off your customer base ?

Easy to point fingers when its not your “house” people are “defacing”

Anyway, Lets find out what the consumers want and FTC and traffic sources will allow and make all sides happy.

That’s GOOD business!
