Facebook tests non-social Marketplace ads in News Feed

Facebook is testing a new ad unit that puts non-social Marketplace ads in News Feed rather than the sidebar.

Marketplace ads are the standard units in the right-hand sidebar of Facebook.com. Advertisers can select a small image and write brief ad copy to promote their pages or websites. Page-Like ads feature a Like button and the page’s fan count. Now we’ve seen this same type of ad in News Feed under the label “Page You May Like.”
