Now that Facebook is being scrutinised by its new-found shareholders, it really needs people to start clicking on its ads. That's a fact shamelessly highlighted by Mark Zuckerberg's right-hand woman, chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, who was speaking to business students at Harvard University this morning.

    Personally

    I just mark all ads as sexually explicit. Imagine the marketing dweebs for Baby Gap seeing a bunch of those, consider the ensuing chaos, and tell me that doesn't bring a smile to your face.

    This is advocating click fraud

    I thought asking people to click ad's was one of the great no-no s of web advertising.

    (Along with clicking your own ad's).

    She is basically advocating defrauding the people paying for advertising.

    It is click fraud I think.

    The only ad worth clicking is the one for the 55 gallon drum of personal lubricant.

    (The comments are hilarious on Amazon (US))

    (I hate ad's probably more than 99% of the population but I don't agree with Facebook doing this).

    FB adverts are s**te anyway

    They suggested that I "like" the Conservative party.

    Phools.

    Mostly I don't even notice them and use the desktop site less and less.

    WTF?

    A Amateurish Request

    Asking users to click on ads is something low-level sites do in desperation. But people click because the ads interest them - not because they are charitable. It's FB's job to make the ads something people *want* to click upon. And, apparently, the software that decides which ads to serve isn't doing a good job.

    The onus is on FB - not it's users.
