It is cleverly disguised in your News Feed!</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/08/25/facebook-advertising-just-got-sneeky/">this stinks and falls into the same category as Google’s deceptive “Sponsored Links” in searches.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/08/25/facebook-advertising-just-got-sneeky/">The advertising that appears on Facebook looks no different to any other News Feed item other than it has a very discrete “sponsored” tag after the ad. The word is a different colour and blends in very well to white.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/08/25/facebook-advertising-just-got-sneeky/">
This is yet another bullshit attempt into tricking users to click links to generate click-through’s!</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/08/25/facebook-advertising-just-got-sneeky/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/img/6A3412D0-2424-47A7-BF14-F96CDA3CD1A5" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/08/25/facebook-advertising-just-got-sneeky/"><STRONG>I have not edited this image other than to add the red box and arrow</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/08/25/facebook-advertising-just-got-sneeky/"><P>Unfortunately though Facebook will get their money because of the disguised ads in this context.
