Just a quick swipe through my Instagram feed, two main types of photos stand out: my new puppy and my travel photos. I’ve never been one to post selfies, but if I see a killer view, it’s going on social media (to an extent – it’s so important to look beyond the camera lens!). True to form, Facebook gives me sidebar ads for Petsmart and cheap airlines. I realized that I am truly Facebook’s ideal user in terms of advertising because I click on those ads when they’re convincing enough. $10 off dog food? Massive holiday sales on flights? I’m clicking.<\/p>\n

I like to use the location tags on Instagram when possible, especially with my nature photos. Because I’ve posted quite a few photos of France and Spain, I actually get ads in French and Spanish; whenever I’m watching NBC online, I get a NyQuil ad in Spanish. Big data all gets muddled together because it is hard to say whether this trilingual advertising method is strictly based off my photos on social media, but I’m sure that information is going somewhere. I would say it’s actually an effective form of advertising because when I’m watching something in English and hear French, my ears perk up and I’m aware of the change and therefore am paying attention to the ad.<\/p>\n

My other photos are a mixture of my boyfriend, family, and friends. Facebook and Instagram like to combine all these factors when advertising to me. Mixing travel and my relationship, I get ads about romantic bed and breakfasts, though I’ve never been to one in my life. Mixing my dog and my friends, I get ads about bars in Raleigh that allow dogs (for those interested, Raleigh Brewing Company does!).<\/p>\n

The ads to Instagram are relatively new with the “Sponsored” images starting to appear more frequently on news feeds. However, when I post to Instagram, it shares automatically to Facebook (in retrospect, I can’t believe I gave the rights to Facebook to see my Instagram and vice versa – that’s so much personal information). So even though I post primarily on Instagram, Facebook is aware of where I go, who I’m with (hello facial recognition feature on Facebook), and what I’m currently shopping for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
