Topic: How the Facebook pixel works

Anonymous A started this discussion 8 years ago #74,174

When someone visits your website and takes an action (for example, buying something), the Facebook pixel is triggered and reports this action. This way, you'll know when a customer took an action after seeing your Facebook ad. You'll also be able to reach this customer again by using a custom audience. When more and more conversions happen on your website, Facebook gets better at delivering your ads to people who are more likely to take certain actions. This is called conversion optimization.


Mark Zuckerberg lied about this under penalty of perjury.

He has 10 days to fix any mistakes he may have made in his testimony and if he doesn't fix this lie, I can't wait to see him locked up.

27,000+ Employees at Facebook.
Do you really think the CEO has total knowledge about every single fucking detail of the software?

Yes. He knows how Facebook pixels work. And he lied about it, saying that facebook has no way of tracking purchases unless the user freely shares that information.

It's written in plain english on their website that this feature does something that he claimed facebook couldn't do.

Also, he isn't just a CEO, he created the damn website.

> he created the damn website.
No he did NOT
Others did and he got away with stealing it - the basics anyway - What it is now takes those 27000+ and it is nothing like the original which he stole

Similar to Bill Gates - The OS he developed was just a simple buy from another guy. Bill bought it to in effect lease to IBM with the right to use it himself
His brilliance was in not letting IBM have it as exclusive. He did very little in programming himself

The Bill Gates story you are telling was actually about DOS, not Windows. And he still had to modify the code. He isn't just some business man, same with Zuck; Zuckerberg actually knows how his site runs, he just is not involved in literally keeping it running day-to-day at a technical level anymore.

Yes DOS. I never said windows.
I watched a bit of this and that of Zuckerberg on CNN. Often he wood get a question and say I will have to get back to you on that and he made it clear he did not no the answers to lots of questions - He also said his team wood get back to the congress person with details

Perhaps you missed his many many not having the detailed answer to those questions - Yea he is knowledgeable.

My clients often expect far more out of me then anyone person could have an answer on the spot for them - A lesson learned years ago with one smart secrete agency - They do not expect engineers to have answers to every question - THEY Will NOT tolerate a guess or miss information - They are not forgiving. An I do not No is a totally acceptable reply which gets respect.

Yes details like "exactly how many sites use the facebook pixel". Obviously he can't answer that without access to the servers, so he needs time to answer.

Overall he has a knowledge of how his website works and what it is capable of, and he lied about that.

Russia should buy a controlling interest in Facebook and use it to spread fake news and make Trump president for life ?

I of course dare not brag - Facebook is normally not a stock I buy - However HOWEVER - With Billions of customers there was no way that stock wood stay down and with CEO going to WDC - I figured it was a good bet for day trading and it sure has been LoL

Not a fortune so far but a nice return on investment and price is not so much so bad
