NEW YORK – Mediabistro.com (a division of WebMediaBrands Inc.) (Nasdaq: WEBM) announced its latest Facebook research report entitled ‘Social Targeting: Why Facebook’s Self-Serve Ad Platform Works.’
When Facebook introduced its newest iteration of “social advertising” in 2007, it had already tried and failed with a number of interest-based targeting products. But the company kept upgrading its ad platform, and its ad revenue reached nearly $1.9 billion in 2010 — double what it earned in 2009. The SocialTimes Pro report reveals trends and best practices for optimizing Facebook’s targeting platform and creating effective Facebook ad campaigns. SocialTimes Pro also announced a new virtual goods report entitled ‘Virtual Goods in Free-To-Play MMOs: Opportunities and Advice on Monetization.’
SocialTimes Pro offers monthly reports on topics related to Facebook and Virtual Goods. SocialTimes Pro is associated with Mediabistro’s AllFacebook.com and SocialTimes.com. For more information, visit www.socialtimespro.com.
