Facebook bans Google+ ads

The battle between Google+ and Facebook is heating up, after Facebook has banned one ad developer for promoting his Google+ account on the popular social networking site. The ad, created by a Facebook user invited people to connect with him on Google+. However, Facebook decided to ban ads on its site that promote its rival Google+.

Similarly, a web developer Michael Lee Johnson placed an ad on Facebook circulating for Google+, but Facebook banned his ad account and sent him an email, stating:

"Your account has been disabled. All of your adverts have been stopped and should not be run again on the site under any circumstances. Generally, we disable an account if too many of its adverts violate our Terms of Use or Advertising guidelines. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with the specific violations that have been deemed abusive. Please review our Terms of Use and Advertising guidelines if you have any further questions."

Johnson responded to Facebook's harsh ruling in a Google+ post saying:

"LOL: I recently ran a Google+ advertisement on Facebook that got all of my campaigns suspended. - Great." He added a post script note poetically stating, "P.S; Facebook - You Suck."
