Following another quarter that saw marketers pull back on their ad spending, Meta today announced it's increasing its ad load onInstagram with the launch of two new ad slots The company said it will now allow advertisers to run ads on the Explore home page and in profile feeds.
The new format being tested will involve shorter ads on Facebook, specifically.
After a reel has ended, these post-loop ads and video ads will be played. The reel will loop again when the ad ends. Many Reels are designed to be watched more than once, but with an ad at the end, users could choose to scroll to a different video instead of watching the same one again. A poor user experience is likely to be considered a risk by people.
Meta said it will be testing "image carousel" ads on Facebook. The ads are shown at the bottom of the Facebook Reels content.
The company is trying to increase the surface for ads as it struggles to make money on its TikTok competitor.
The Explore home page and profile feed have advertisements added to them.

The magnifying glass icon in the main navigation of the Explore home is referred to as the Explore home. There are buttons at the top of the screen that users can use to explore various trends, such as the indoor garden or box braids. When a person taps on a post and scrolls, it's when the ads are on Explore. The Explore home page is being expanded to see users spending more time there. This is being rolled out around the world.
Advertisers will be placed in the profile feed in a test. This is the feed that appears when a user visits another person's profile on the app and then taps on their feed post When this is launched, you can scroll through the user's past photos and videos. Ad units will be used in a global test to interrupt the experience.
This test will allow creators to make extra money from ads that are displayed in their profile feeds. The test will begin in the U.S.
That is an interesting shift, as the creators of the photo sharing service have been pushing them to film reels for the TikTok competitor. It encourages them to post more traditional content to their profile in order to make more money on the photo sharing site.
At a time when Meta has seen declining ad sales, these additional ad units help the company pull in more revenue. After its first decline in daily active users, the company reported a revenue decline in the second quarter. In the second quarter of 2021, Meta's revenue was $29.07 billion, in the second quarter of 2022, it was $28.82 billion. The company said it expected revenue to decline between 2% and 11% in the third quarter.
Meta posts its first-ever quarterly revenue decline
Factors that contributed to the decline in Q2 were Meta's inability to monetize reels. It wasn't yet paying off in terms of revenue despite the company boasting of Reels' growth. TheReels doesn't yet monetize at the same rate as Feed or Stories. In the near term, the faster that Reels grows, the more revenue that comes from higher monetizing surfaces.
The use of A.I. was one of the updates that Meta introduced to create more effective ads.
The impact of Apple's privacy changes on Meta has been difficult. It will use A.I. technologies to serve more relevant ads.
When a person engages with an ad, it will deliver ads underneath it that are powered by machine learning.

A song library with free music advertisers can use in their Reels ads is one of the new features that will be rolled out by the social media platform. The full library will arrive in the coming months and comes from the Meta Sound Collection.

The number of ads users will see will vary based on how they use the app.
Ad's have always been an important part of the photo sharing site. We are constantly thinking about new ways to help advertisers and brands. New ad formats and tools aim to help brands tell their story, reach new and existing customers, and grow their businesses
The spokesman said that they watch people's sentiment for ads and commercialism.
