In March 2019, Facebook updated its Ads Library, improving the search functionality and allowing users to view active ads across all categories, not just political ads. They also expanded the information about pages and reduced the update frequency from weekly to daily.

The objective remained the same - to assist users of the social network in learning more about advertisements. For arbitrageurs, it provides free monitoring of ads on Facebook. Let's take a quick look at how the library works.

In the search bar, enter a keyword for searching (for example, let's use the word "weight loss"). By using keywords, you can find public ads or view all relevant ads.

Since arbitrageurs are wary of using such words in their text, Facebook displayed only a few ads. For legitimate products, the number of ads is hundreds of times higher. For example, for the word "English," there are approximately 7,900 ads.
