Even Facebook Can’t Escape Google
It looks like Google is finally breaking into the world of Facebook with Adsense. VentureBeat is reporting that developers with applications on Facebook are being used so Google can put Adsense adverts on the application pages.
It’s a clever way for Google to find it’s way into Facebook I have to say, but is there anywhere that is safe from the influence of Google anymore?
Facebook are allowing this as they let developers sell adverts on their own pages on the site and money they make from these adverts is theirs to keep. Google is just taking advantage of this.
So if you want your adverts to appear on Facebook, you will be able to go through Google Adsense. Google are slowly worming their way in there. If they aren’t going to be able to buy their wat into Facebook then this is the next best route I suppose.
Will this be a huge money spinner for Google? I don’t think so, it is however another way to increase their market share and exposure with the Adsense network.

In reality the AdSense is a very bad ad network. More than 25% of the ads are spam link sites (no content - just links to other sites - using cj and other ad agency and google ad sense). You can easily be in a loop of only link spam sites. The truth is that no matter how good is your service - you are selling spam to your users. Google tries to conceal it but the more you try the google AdSense the more you see that it is truely bullshit. The real question is why people are clicking at this sites. (I for once will be glad to know the motive of those people - the sites usually are so off from the content and unless you are really bored or stupid there is no reason to click on the ads). It is time to burst the bubble of Google AdSense (and other ads agencies who are making the web a crappy place.
