People aren’t wasting any time trying to figure out how to monetize all those thousands of Facebook apps that have sprung up over the last couple of months. At least three advertising experiments have launched – the most promising, by far, is RockYou.
fbExchange
The first out the door was FBExchange, a copycat of the LinkExchange idea from the nineties. It was created by the 30Boxes Calendar team – Narendra Rocherolle, Julie Davidson and Nick Wilder. Display others’ ads on your facebook application and build up credits, which can then be used to run your own ads on other apps. It’s a cheap and easy way to get exposure for your application, should the viral Facebook machine not create enough growth to keep you happy. See GigaOm for more. The company says they’ve booked $200k in revenue after just two weeks live.
Lookery
Lookery, founded by serial entrepreneur Scott Rafer, is a straight up advertising network targeted solely at Facebook applications. They say they’ll have access to deep demographic data on users and can therefore target ads to users with very specific characteristics – a woman between the ages of 20-25 in New York, for example. That theoretically will lead to much higher advertising rates. I like the idea, but Facebook itself has access to the same data and more and has had trouble selling high CPM ads at scale. Lookery needs big scale to be successful, and so will likely struggle in the early days. For now, Rafer says, they are passing 100% of revenue to content providers and will start to take a cut in a month or so when the economics support it.
RockYou
RockYou has been quietly testing their own idea of an advertising network – selling “users” to other applications. They’ve had a tremendous amount of success building viral applications on Facebook so far. Their Super Wall app, for example, has nearly 3 million users and is adding hundreds of thousands of new users each day. It’s basically what it says – a better “wall” where friends can leave messages. With Super Wall, people can add pictures, video and other rich media.
They’re offering to promote third party applications on Super Wall, and charging on a per-user-acquired (CPA) basis. When a user is signing up for Super Wall they are asked if they’d like to also add a additional application (the advertiser). See the screen shot to the right (click for large view).
The test so far are going very well. CEO Lance Tokuda told me today that they moved $30k in inventory in just four hours. They are testing various price points, but the low end seems to be around $0.30 for each user they sell to another application, and they believe they can get as much as $1 over time. The effective CPM (or revenue per 1,000 pages) is a “multiple of $20” he says. This make them possibly the first Facebook application to have found a real way to monetize users and pageviews.
Tokuda also says they have developed an API for Super Wall and will give free access to other applications to build their functionality into it. This can make your head spin a bit – Facebook is now widely considered a platform, and now Super Wall is a platform on top of a platform. It’s a good thing I guess that no one is slowing down long enough to really think too hard about how quickly the online world is evolving. Instead, they’re experimenting wildly. And some of this stuff is going to stick.

37,223 | amichail | 2007-07-28T01:57:20 | Is it wrong to make someone famous without their permission? Are there any legal issues? | Suppose you have a service that crawls the web for home pages and then displays one chosen at random every day for all to see and discuss. Is this wrong? Are there any legal issues with it?<p>It's sort of like this Facebook app:<p><a href="http://apps.facebook.com/fifteen/" rel="nofollow">http://apps.facebook.com/fifteen/</a><p>The difference though is that people would not sign up requesting they be made famous. Rather, the service would do it without their permission. | 1 | 2 | [

The price was not disclosed. AuctionAds is an advertising widget that serves contextually relevant eBay auctions based on tags supplied by the publisher.
MediaWhiz had previously purchased another sensibly named advertising startup, TextLinkAds, last November (TextLinkAds is a long time TechCrunch sponsor). Since the acquisition TextLinkAds expanded into RSS ads on top of direct website linking.
AuctionAds has been paying out 100% of eBay affiliate fees to publishers. Since eBay pays fees based on the total business a partner drives, AuctionAds can generate their own additional revenue from a combined network while still paying out the same rates affiliates would receive on their own. Since launch, they have registered over 20,000 publishers on their network.
Similar services to AuctionAds include BooBox and FavoriteThingz.
AuctionAds was launched as a partnership between Shoemoney Media and MediaWhiz. MediaWhiz has purchased Jeremy Schoemaker’s majority ownership to fully acquire the company.

Mr. Rose immediately endowed his latest venture with some mystique by declaring that, for the time being, only those with invitations would be permitted to test his new site. Within days, invitations were selling on eBay for as much as $10. Mr. Rose has declined all requests to be interviewed about the service, including my own. But as a consolation, he sent me a coveted invitation. I enjoyed the rare thrill of cyberhipness — and got to experiment with the site. I learned you can send text messages to individual friends or groups of friends on Pownce as well as post microblogs, or short announcements, to the larger Pownce community. This function is very similar to messaging services like Twitter or Jaiku, and is found on social networks like Facebook and MySpace (although Pownce’s messages cannot, at least for now, be sent to mobile phones). You can also send your friends links, invitations to events, or files like photos, music or videos. Of course, you can already do that on a multitude of file-sharing Web sites. It is the combination of private messaging and file-sharing that makes Pownce so novel.Om Malik, the author of the technology blog GigaOm, is an enthusiast. “I love it and use it constantly, ” he said in a message sent to me on Pownce. “I like it because it lets me share a lot of different things with the networks of people I really care about.”Pownce was initially conceived by another founder, Leah Culver, a 24-year-old programmer who developed the site as an experiment. But its glamour derives from Mr. Rose’s reputation for creating digital-media companies that evoke passionate fandom among their youthful audiences. In addition to Digg, he co-founded Revision3, a video production and hosting company opened last September.“He is super-smart, friendly, humble and a team-builder — a perfect combination for a great entrepreneur,” said Ron Conway, who has invested in Digg and Revision3 and was an early investor in Google. (A disclosure: Mr. Conway also invested in Red Herring Communications, a magazine and Web site I once edited.) Mr. Rose, 30, dropped out of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, where he was studying computer science, to pursue his fortune in San Francisco during the dot-com boom. Fortune eluded him then, but he achieved minor fame when, following the collapse of the technology market in 2002, he became a nerdy host on TechTV’s “The Screen Savers.”The audience Mr. Rose attracted at TechTV was then drawn to Digg, which he began promoting on his show and in his blog when the site was introduced in December 2004. Digg combines social networking, blogging and online syndication to create a site where news stories are ranked by popularity. Today, 17 million people visit Digg every month, according to the company.After Mr. Rose’s contract with G4, the successor to TechTV, expired, he started Revision3. Each week, 250,000 people go to the company’s Web site to view its most popular show, “Diggnation,” where Mr. Rose and his pal Alex Albrecht lounge on couches, drink beer and discuss the most popular stories on Digg.Something of Mr. Rose’s concept of his latest venture can be discerned in how he described Digg to me in a recent interview. “For us, it’s really about creating the platform for people to share things with their friends,” he said.Owen Thomas, the managing editor of the Silicon Valley gossip blog Valleywag, has chronicled the excitement Pownce aroused over the last month, but doesn’t like the service himself. At 35, “I’m kind of old; I’m habituated to e-mail,” Mr. Owen wrote in just such a message.MY own experiences with Pownce were ambiguous. As with Twitter, I felt mildly repulsed by the banality and exhibitionism of microblogs. On the other hand, I enjoyed the privacy of the closed messaging system and the ease with which I could share things with nicely calibrated groups.What struck me most was the site’s potential to be powerfully disruptive. Most file-sharing occurs on public sites, which can be monitored by media companies; if the users violate copyrights, the sites or the users themselves can be threatened into compliance or litigated out of existence (as happened with the original Napster). File-sharing on Pownce would be difficult to police. If I were a media executive concerned about protecting my intellectual property, I would pounce on Pownce. It’s possibly no coincidence that the name Mr. Rose chose for his new venture suggests the Internet gamer’s jargon “pwn,” which means to take control of a system by exploiting some vulnerability.
