This will allow people to be able to stop the personalized advertisements from following them around online.

For users who don’t like Facebook ads that follow them wherever they happen to go on the internet, the social network is now providing the option to block this from happening.

These personalized ads were first introduced last year to be displayed on sites off Facebook.

In this way Facebook ads were displayed on and off the social network’s site, based on the other websites and apps that people were using. The global deputy chief privacy officer at the social network, Stephen Deadman, explained that “Today, we’re introducing an additional way for people to turn off this kind of advertising from the ad settings page right on Facebook.”

This allows Facebook ads to be blocked from the company’s site, instead of having to use other services.

Previously, it was possible for internet users to be able to block the ads through the AdChoices program from the Digital Advertising Alliance, or by altering the settings directly on the iPhone or Android based smartphones. With these latest changes, it is now possible for this same goal to be accomplished directly through the Facebook site.

Although Facebook has been serving users ads based on the content on which they have previously clicked “Like,” a broader program was launched last winter. In December of last year, the company posted “Let’s say that you’re thinking about buying a new TV, and you start researching TVs on the web and in mobile apps,” adding that “We may show you ads for deals on a TV to help you get the best price or other brands to consider.”

The new option on Facebook allows a site user to opt-out. This means that the targeted Facebook ads will automatically be turned on, and they will remain that way be default unless a user actively goes to the “Settings” tab and changes the preferences for the social network’s advertisements.

The company has stated that it will continue to use the data that it collects by way of the use of the “Like” button on other websites in order to provide them with relevant advertising on Facebook.

Instagram will surpass others when it comes to mobile ad revenue

Instagram may overcome both Google and Twitter when it comes to mobile marketing by 2017. According to a new report from eMarketer, the social networking company is expected to generate more than $2.81 billion in global mobile ad revenue by 2017.

Mobile marketing is gaining prominence among retailers and social networks alike

Mobile marketing has become a very important business tool. More consumers are beginning to use their smartphones and other devices to shop for and purchase products, as well as expose themselves to new services that they may be interested in. Mobile ad displays are a powerful way to engage consumers and these ads have found a promising home on social networks, where millions of consumers are exposed to advertisements on a daily basis.

Google and Twitter will fall behind Instagram in mobile ad revenue by 2017

According to eMarketer, Instagram will surpass both Google and Twitter in terms of revenue generated through mobile ad displays. The other two companies currently generate more revenue than Instagram, but that will change by 2017. By that year, Google is estimated to generate $2.38 billion in mobile ad display revenue, whereas Twitter is expected to generate some $2.29 billion. As Instagram becomes more powerful in the mobile marketing space, it will account for a larger share of Facebook’s overall mobile ad revenue.

Action-oriented ads are gaining momentum among businesses that want to engage mobile consumers

The growth of Instagram’s mobile ad revenue may be due to the rising popularity of “action-oriented” advertisements. These ads are designed to encourage specific actions among consumers. In some cases, such ads are accompanied by “buy” buttons, which allow users to make a purchase products that they find on social networking sites. These buy buttons are proving to be an effective tool for retailers when it comes to engaging mobile consumers.
