In April, thefacebook.com allowed several companies to post temporary advertisements on the site. Promotions for AT&T Wireless, America Online and Monster.com were displayed, but Hughes said the students did not receive any payment for the ads.
“We did give [the companies] permission to put up some temporary ads to test out the site, the usage, the click-throughs, that type of thing,” Hughes said. “We decided not to end up going with them.”
Hughes described the ads, which appeared for “a handful” of days in April, as a “test phase” for companies with which thefacebook.com was considering an advertising relationship.
“We have no plans to do so at this point,” Hughes said.
Hughes noted that no targeted advertising has yet run on the website, though it is possible for advertisers to choose the option.
