Did you know that facebook creates social advertisements by pairing your name/photo with ads in an effort to encourage your friends to visit these sponsored ads? If you don’t – you need to start paying attention! Certainly you’ve seen the ad that claims, ‘3 of your friends challenge you to test you IQ’…and you see 3 of your very own friends. Of course you have!
The good news is — you can opt out! Here’s how:
-
Log in to your Facebook Account
Click “Settings” in the top right navigation bar, and choose “Privacy Settings” from the pull down menu
Select “News Feed and Wall”
Select “Social Ads” (it’s a tab at the top)
From the drop down menu select “no one“
That’s it. Now get ‘er done. 🙂
