Meta Platforms is said to be outperforming other social media platforms with their digital advertising techniques or their target weekly ad.  

Meta Platforms is said to be outperforming other social media platforms with their digital advertising techniques or their target weekly ad.  

Meta’s advanced AI systems are powering their ad targeted systems, creating the right ads for targeted users. Back in May, it wasn’t announced that Meta had deployed the use of the target weekly ad. 

The target exclusions were able to allow advertisers to eliminate users from their target weekly ad based on factors such as demographics, interests and/or behaviors. This option allowed advertisers to have more capacity in refining their target weekly ad audience. Meta, on the other hand, over a certain period of time these exclusions did in fact limit the effectiveness of the ad, but the advertisers felt that it would improve their performance.  

The Facebook parent claimed that with its precise testing that the average conversion expense for ad campaigns had accelerated by 22.6%, when compared to removing target weekly ad exclusions from the equation. 

Opinion May Differ, Topics Remain Consistent 

CNBC’s Jim Cramer stated on Tuesday that Meta is receiving a higher success rate when it comes to their target weekly ad than its rival social media platforms. Cramer also stated that this is due to the hige investment that Meta has put in employing their AI services.  

“It’s precisely because the digital ad market’s gotten worse that Meta’s holding up great while the rest are struggling,” he stated. “If you’re being careful with your ad budget, Meta’s how you get the best bang for the buck.” 

“Meta’s winning in digital advertising because they don’t just help companies place ads and target the right audience, they also help those companies measure the performance of their ads after the fact,” Cramer mentioned. 

Yet, with all the praise that Meta has received from Cramer, it did not respond to CNBC’s request for comment.  

Do You See It?  

The issue regarding ads on Meta’s platforms, especially on Instagram, is a broad topic and people seem to have controversial opinions when addressing it. As a user, have you noticed the number of ads that have been popping up in an irrational manner? 

When watching followers’ stories, there are at least three consecutive ads to watch till you get the chance to view your next following story. Did you even notice when you are scrolling through a user’s profile or even going through your pictures on your profile you get target weekly ad by Instagram?  

It can get confusing as many people might mistake these displayed ads for an actual post of theirs and begin to question “when did I post this,” or even mistaken it as a post of their followers. The issue in this case is that the ads are being placed in a certain manner that does not grab the user’s attention but rather confuses the user and it only seems as if it is a bug.  

At the end of the day, it all boils down to Meta Platforms and its creative ways of how its collecting our data and how it employs that to create target weekly ads for its users.
