AdSense Banned In Facebook Apps

[GaryK]

I just noticed this on Slashdot:

Facebook Bans AdSense In Apps [tech.slashdot.org]

"Three days ago Facebook finalized their list of accepted ad networks [developers.facebook.com] for use within Facebook Apps; AdSense being an (unsurprising?) omission from the list, stating that any missing ad network had yet to agree to the Facebook TOS [developers.facebook.com]. Facebook developers were quick to point out the only losers in this cold-war between Facebook and Google are the developers themselves [forum.developers.facebook.net]. Other devs go on to clarify that the reputations of some of the accepted networks is shady at best [forum.developers.facebook.net], leaving developers with sub-par options to monetize their work on the Facebook platform."

Facebook is so popular that if Facebook and AdSense can't come to terms it may be Facebook that ends up creating, or causing to be formed, the first viable AdSense alternative.

My impression is that there will be a big competition in the next years between Facebook and Google.

Google is dominant with AdSense because has a huge number of advertisers and publishers.

Facebook is in a perfect position to find tons of advertisers for his huge 600.000.000 perfectly targeted users and easily this program to be used in the Web as well.

There are billions on the table and I do not think Facebook will miss this opportunity.

Thatīs will be good for us, the publishers :-) I hope so.
