Ever notice how the most flattering blog comments are actually the spam comments? Finally, you have to admire the “it’s them not me” approach of this one: I have to say Akismet does a good job of catching spam comments like these. Related posts: Blog Tag Optimization Tips for News Sites.

Historically, the average CPM (Cost Per 1,000 Impressions) has increased for Facebook advertisers during the holidays as competition for eyeballs and ad spending increase. I wrote a blog post about this phenomenon way back in 2014. I use the Within Marketing Pulse to track Facebook CPM and other information. What are you seeing?

One of my favorite things to do is run Facebook (or Meta, whatever) ads experiments. Just like my initial experiment in 2015 (linked earlier), Facebook ads don’t have to suck. After creating that lesson, I got nervous that Facebook would stop serving lessons too quickly, so I expanded the net to 180 days going forward.

But, it certainly felt like there were themes of comments I was getting, and they far outnumbered those that seemed to reflect a knowledge of what this feature actually was.

If you’ve been creating videos for Facebook and Instagram Reels, you can increase your reach with ads. Reels are short-form videos (up to 60 seconds on Facebook and 90 seconds on Instagram) that are typically recorded from a phone. Finally, you have to check at least Facebook Feed. This is their answer to TikTok.

Facebook advertisers have been vocal about the negative impact of iOS 14+ during the past year. This is the protocol that Facebook uses for handling attribution related to users who have opted out of the ATT prompt. Facebook and advertisers wouldn’t lose all data at that point, but access would certainly suffer.
