BiBottomBoy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 As a marketing person this does not surprise me at all. Facebook told everyone that video ads did better than text ads. Turns out that was a baldface lie. I'm betting Google will go down for this too - cause they've been telling everyone video is better. As a marketing person I know that when I write a video script for a client the response rate is less than 1% When I write something text based the response rate is 2% to 8% https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/17/facebook-lawsuit-alleges-it-knew-ad-measurement-discrepancies-for-a-year.html MsGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BigK Posted October 19, 2018 Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 It was interesting to me. As someone who spends $2-300 per day on internet advertising I often wonder if I'm getting enough bang for my buck. BiBottomBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I never watch video ads. When I see ads, I move on. AdamSmith, BiBottomBoy and Tartegogo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the videos in providers' ads are very effective. https://www.truthdig.com/articles/lawsuit-facebook-used-faulty-data-to-convince-publishers-to-go-all-in-on-video/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OneFinger Posted October 20, 2018 Members Share Posted October 20, 2018 Totally off-topic from the ad issue, but I had something happen this past month that really has my shorts in a bunch. I noticed a neighbor of +25 years had died. I posted her obit on FB for only my immediate family. 3 weeks later FB sent me "friend" suggestion for this dead person. Really has me pissed off.
