They take a long time, you have the chance to click (or not click) on a lot of ads, and there might be some information there that's useful to a sponsor.

I'm also leery about posting things to Facebook from another site. Even if you log out of Facebook, the fact that you linked to Facebook from another site means that Facebook has a record about that. If you've ever seen those "so-and-so likes such-and-such a website," you know that so-and-so has clicked on that website either before or after logging on to Facebook. That's kind of scary.
