With facebook I like that you can target your adverts to certain age groups, and also have a picture. But as more businesses are using facebook to advertise, the minimum price is increasing in order to even have your advert show. The price soon adds up.

This is just a different perspective to your article.

Hey Krish,

Those top applications will not be easily dislodged due to the fact that they are networked services; the value of those applications (especially SuperWall/FunWall) increases with every additional user added. Users will reject NEW applications if those applications are unable to draw large numbers of installers who are connected via friendships on Facebook.

In my opinion though, applications with large numbers of users aren’t necessarily the most profitable.

I agree with what Aaron suggests. I am trying to put up an app on FB and it is quite overwhelming to choose apps even as a user because of the number of apps out there.

But I have to slightly disagree with Aaron on the users being fickleminded because if you see the rankings list on Adonomics, it is the usual suspects and the early birds who are still in the top 20 or 30.
I am not sure if users will discard an old app to accomadate a new app.
Any thoughts?

you got some interesting perspective there. Good job. As for ad sense, don’t worry about ad polluted profile box, since it’s against thx facebook TOS to put any app on the app profile box. As for the canvas page adsense, it’s possible to trick the system by putting the ad in an iframe and populate it with relevant meta data. Keep those good writings coming.

Hello, I am not using my real name nor regular email address here, nor is that a real site… BECAUSE… I am not sure if this goes public as soon as I post. That said, I am a real person with a real opportunity to monetize through a facebook application. I’m looking for a development partner who can work with me to get it off the ground ASAP. I have it all packaged nicely with a demo. I’m located in Los Angeles. Please email me at the email address posted and I’ll get back to you with my name and number hopefully we can get this going ASAP.

Thanks
