VKontakte starts monetizing text content

Social network VKontakte is testing monetization of text content. About 20 communities are now connected to VKontakte advertising network and publish at least one article weekly. Later on, community administrators can either enable monetization for each of the posted articles or disable it at any time. VKontakte representatives give no details about the time articles monetization will be available to all communities, nor do they about the way this feature works.

Facebook Pixel is a perfect tool that helps to manage all retargeting, ad optimization, and conversion tracking settings. The new function is available only to groups with at least 250 members.
