Facebook Exchange: A New Way For Advertisers To Target Specific Users With Real-Time Bid Ads
Facebook is testing and will soon launch Facebook Exchange, a real-time bidding ad system where visitors to third-party websites are marked with a cookie, and can then be shown real-time bid ads related to their web browsing when they return to Facebook. This retargeting option could be a huge money maker for Facebook as it will allow for better direct advertising -- for example a travel site could serve ads about a flight to Hawaii to someone who almost bought a flight on their site. Advertisers might pay big premiums for highly-accurate targeting.Users will be able to opt out of Facebook Exchange via third-parties, but only on an advertiser-by-advertiser basis. They can't opt out of the program completely. Facebook just notified TechCrunch that Exchange is currently in testing with eight advertising demand-side platforms, and it will become more widely available in the next few weeks for traditional Facebook sidebar ads charged at cost-per-thousand-impressions, but not Sponsored Stories or mobile.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/5I6mziD5UCs/
