Twitter Ad Platform Coming Very Soon

[trigatch4]

This will be just as big as the Facebook Ad Announcement and if you remember, people who got in early to Facebook faced lower competition and more liberal ad policies, allowing some people to seriously make bank:

Twitter to Launch Ad Platform Soon – GigaOM

I guess I better finally get on twitter.com to figure out what all the rage is about...

This will rock

I'm surprised it took this long, thinking of how much they were probably losing.

That article was written on the 23rd. On the 24th a followup was posted that had the Twitter executive trying to deny the March timeframe.

Twitter Backtracking on Advertising Launch? – GigaOM

The fact that he's denying the March timeframe and not the platform altogether is great. :banana_sml:

Trigatch4, any insight as to when it will launch?

 

[Dispel]

Meh, tweets ads in the feeds, with #paid hashtags.. why can't they just have cpc/cpm banner/text ads in the sidebar like everyone else??

The original article linked was published on Feb 23rd. The next day this article was posted, which basically takes back what was said about the early March timeline.

At least they're not denying the platform flat out.

That'd work fine for users of the web interface. There are tons of alternative twitter clients that don't display the twitter sidebar. Unfortunately, the only way to get ads to all twitter users would be to have ad tweets. :/

it makes sense. WHy shouldnt twitter make money if all these 3rd party paid to tweet services are. I just wonder exactly how they will be targeting their ads.

i wish they offer publisher option too lolz

Who said our sole method of making money online is going to be monetizing Twitter users?

 

[dsiomtw]

Who said I said you said that?

My point is that I'm pretty sure any time you spend trying to monetize twitter users would be better spent elsewhere. In fact I'd bet on it.

 

[mysolopopsmiley]

this will probably be a killer!

 

[SeaTownJosh]

Just put up 2 adsense blocks and your in the money.
