Facebook Testing Scaled-Back News Feed Ads
Facebook is testing a new image size for ads without social context (where users or their friends are connected to the advertising brand). Sister site Inside Facebook reported Monday that ads that lacked social context appeared smaller than ads coming from brands users or their friends have liked.
Facebook is testing a new image size for ads without social context (where users or their friends are connected to the advertising brand). Sister site Inside Facebook reported Monday that ads that lacked social context appeared smaller than ads coming from brands users or their friends have liked.
