Facebook : Reportedly planning to offer new service that allows ad tracking to determine whether a clicked ad led to an app download
Several people briefed about the technology told The Information about the service, which is expected to be announced at Facebook’s major developer conference beginning March 25. One of the most interesting aspects of it is that it will determine how ads perform whether they are bought on Facebook or other apps. That could get more advertisers using it and allow Facebook to incentivize those advertisers to buy more ads on Facebook.
The move will have repercussions for all Facebook advertisers as well as startups that already track the performance of app-install ads on Facebook, Google, Twitter and Apple’s iAd.
