Facebook is going to start forcing ads to appear for all users of its desktop website, even if they use ad-blocking software. The social network said on Tuesday that it will change the way advertising is loaded into its desktop website to make its ad units considerably more difficult for ad blockers to detect. “Facebook is ad-supported. Ads are a part of the Facebook experience; they’re not a tack on,” said Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, vice president of Facebook’s ads and business platform.

What they are doing is putting in ads as part of your regular wall feed. Not a lot, I only saw one as far as I browse it in a day (admittedly not far, 15-20 minutes is about all I can stomach per day. This could backfire on them, you are allowed to comment. I am waiting to see if my better and cheaper product suggestion post gets wiped out.
