Many of our clients ask me how they can remove the ads that appear on the lower right of their Facebook fan page.

While you cannot completely eliminate any ads from ever appearing on your page (that's how Facebook makes money), you can use these tips to manage them.

How to Remove Ads on Your Facebook Fan Page:

1. Hide an ad: If you don't like an ad that appears on your page you can hide it by clicking the "x" on the ad and selecting "hide this ad."

Facebook then gives you the option to specify why you want to hide that specific ad so that they can show you less of those type of ads. This does help to remove ads from competitors, or ads from products you don't feel comfortable with.

**Please note that the ads YOU see on your page are different than the ads that anyone else sees since the ads are all specifically targeted to the user. For instance, you might see an ad for a dress company while I might see an ad for a sports product.

2. Use Mozilla Firefox as your primary web-browser and install a plug-in called "Ad-Block Plus" (free): I personally use this method so that I see no ads on any websites, including Facebook and Google.

This is an effective way to make it so you do not see ads, but keep in mind that others will still see them unless they also have installed Ad-Block Plus.

Now that you know how to remove ads on your Facebook fan page, what will you do?
