There seem to be a few polling apps out there already, with very few users: 710 daily - is the maximum I found. Now they all enable a person to create his/her OWN poll... Specially crafted polls could get more interest, I suppose. Just looked at facebook. There seem to be a few polling apps out there already, with very few users: 710 daily – is the maximum I found.

Then you need to read this article: http://blog.pmarca.com/2007/06/analyzing_the_f.html Yes, plenty of advertising going on in 3rd party apps, and FB is fine with that. There's already like 3 ad networks (lookery, etc) catering just to Facebook. The big score so far seems to be RockYou selling space to promote the installation of other apps -- last I heard they were getting $20 per 1000 signups. Ivan, you need to sign up for a FB account.

Anyone know of such an app already running on facebook? Since if it is, then how is it doing, and why? If it isn't I think it might work out. Anyone using facebook, and can chek there out?

Or you use their FBML language.

So maybe a lame question, but is there a way to put ads into facebook apps? I mean does facebook policy allow it? Otherwise polls seem like a good idea to put on facebook. If asking the 'right' questions, people will gladly use them. Are you sure there isn't such an app on facebook already? I never used facebook.
