Facebook Approves Boosted Post Reporting Facebook Cryptocurrency Ad Ban

Posted on January 31, 2018 Written by Bill Hartzer

facebook boosted post approved

In what may have a change of heart (or an overzealous automated ad system), Facebook has now approved my boosted post for a news blog post that I posted earlier. I originally wrote a news type blog post that reported that Facebook was prohibiting ads on its network that promoted cryptocurrencies, ICOs, and binary options. To get more exposure of my blog post, I boosted the post on my Facebook page. However, within about a minute, Facebook disapproved the ad and didn’t allow the boosted post to run. [Read more…]

Well, typically the website’s owner or web designer places that Facebook Like button on the page, using code that Facebook provides them.

Twitter’s Innovative Use of Responsive Web Design

Posted on August 18, 2015 Written by Bill Hartzer

Responsive web design is where a website uses the same web design, but literally “changes” in a way that it looks good in any sized web browser–even on a tablet or smart phone.
