Homepage Advertising – MySpace Vs. Facebook

October 15, 2008 · 113 Views · Filed Under General 

This morning, when I went to check my Facebook account, I noticed that there’s a really big difference between MySpace’s homepage and Facebook’s homepage. When comparing the two pages, the first thing I noticed on MySpace’s homepage was the ginormous flash commercial that spanned the width of the layout. There’s also many smaller ads tucked away throughout the page. On Facebook’s homepage, there doesn’t seem to be any advertising at all. Facebook’s homepage doesn’t require any vertical scrolling either when viewing as 1024×768. Check out the screenshots below:

Let’s play a game… Click on the MySpace screenshot and see if you can count the number of advertisements. Post your guess as a comment.
