The company is testing new ways for companies to advertise with its short-form video format. The first test of four-to 10-second skippable videos will be launched by Meta. The video would start up again once the ad finished. Meta said these post-loop advertisements will be run on Facebook, but the system can be used to run ads on other platforms.
Between two to 10 scrollable images will be included in the ads that will run at the bottom of the Facebook reels. Meta wrote that it is increasing the number of ads in the Explore tab in order to make sponsored posts appear inside the mosaic of images. The Explore feed used to only show ads. Once a user clicks on a post on the user's profile page, the social media giant will test ads in some user feeds.
The company wants to give them the same personalized ad experience they get on their main account on the photo sharing site. Although profile ads will appear on all public, non-teen profiles, a small test group of U.S. based creators will be able to get some kickback for allowing ads to play on their pages in the future. The company said that the earnings that creators can make from profile feed ads will be supplemental and not a significant source of income.
If you want to opt out of profile ads, you need to make the account private.
It isn't new, but on short-form videos that are often made to be watched multiple times, it could cause even more people to find theReels thing even more distasteful than before. There are short video ads on TikTok. Before a video has time to loop, ads on the platform often appear in between the videos.
Recent reports based on internal Meta documents from August claim that Reels have very little engagement, despite the fact that Meta claimed in its Q2 earnings statement that engagement was up 30%. According to the leaked documents, the total daily viewing hours for Reels are insignificant compared to their overall app users. According to Meta, the numbers cited in the report were old and incorrect, though they have yet to release any new data that proves Reels is finding success.
Meta reported a 1% revenue decline for the first time in company history in the second quarter of this year. Spending on advertising for Meta products was lower than usual. The majority of Meta's revenue comes from advertising, according to Investopedia.
It's logical that the social media giant is trying to get advertisers. Adding free songs from its music collection to the ad manager is one of the ways it is making available. Advertisers will be able to choose a song to play over their short video ads or the program will be able to choose a song based on the ad.
The days before the proliferation of ads on the app are remembered by some of the audience on the photo sharing app. Last month, the so-called OG App gained popularity for removing ads and suggested posts from users'Instagram feeds. The app was removed from the Apple App Store but is still available on the internet.
