Have you recently noticed
any post(s) on your wall by some person or page you don't know and when you
look closely it says "Suggested Post"! That's nothing but Facebook's
new way of earning money!
Yes, Suggested Posts are
actually advertisements which are displayed on your Facebook wall considering
your past activities and likes (they say so). While you might find these useful at times, it feels like someone has stuck un-wanted bills on your personal space! Ads were
there on the right side-bar already, how far you want to go Facebook!?

One of many "Suggested Post" |
Now, the other question
is can we get rid of them? Well, the answer is both yes and no, at the moment.

Click on the down arrow at the top right of post, select Hide |

You get an option "Hide all Stories" from that page |
Like normal posts, you can hide these "Suggested Posts" and once you hide it, you get an option to hide all the stories from that particular page/company/advertiser. But the catch here is that you will still get these so called Suggested Posts from other entities, which is equally ridiculous!
Of course, if you want to
get rid of these posts entirely, something like Google+ might be the answer! Is
Facebook really going downhill?
