They always seem to catch typos and I considered that. Perhaps it got through because it was an ad with <a href="http://www.microsoft.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Microsoft </a>on it....not sure. I often wonder if people who approve these ads just get bored and let anything go through at the end of the day. Thanks for the comment! Looking forward to More from you! Well put Mike.

Facebook is VERY strict on what they allow in on their ads. They typically reject ads for misspellings in the content. I've yet to experience title rejects yet for typos. Actually that ad must have been one someone had sitting inactive for a while because Facebook most certainly doesn't accept ads with capital letters through out. Anyways it isn't uncommon for internet marketers to take advantage of a typo to draw attention to their ads (ie: Free Zeb Design/Dev Event). This usually occurs on more CPA style ads so there is really no clear excuse for this one but it did obviously catch your attention...bad attention, still your attention though. Nice article though!
