How does Facebook generate money?

Facebook makes billions of dollars a year just from advertising. When you have as many subscribers as FB does and can target specific markets based on your personal data in the way FB does then companies will pay top dollar to advertise with you.

Well if you seen the movie "The social network" They needed to make money, So the seo of facebook wanted to put ads on there site to get revenue, Now that Facebook has over 1 billion members there's about 20 million people clicking on there ads a month, So they make big money from all the clicks, That's how mostly every website makes there money, YouTube does the same thing.

1. Advertising.

2. Internet Traffic.

Through Advertising, duh....

They also make money through promotions. Why do you suppose your facebook time is constantly being interrupted with those silly messages, pop-arounds (I hesitate to use the phrase "pop-ups") and links that go to websites that you didn't want to go to when you were doing what ever you were doing. And all of the other junk that comes and goes with being a facebook user. All that "stuff" is designed to generate money for the facebook owners.

Advertising.

The advertisements on the right hand side of the site are likely a major source of revenue.

one way for the facebook is the facebook ads.

You know if you publish your ads to fb, its very expensive.

So, they earn a lot from Facebook adverts,

Secondly, i wonder if its correct or not maybe the mobile/broadband companies pay them...

Through ads (they either sell ad space directly or sell the space to another party that provides ad service).

the biggest money generator for facebook is information about its users.

whenever you 'like' something, lots of businesses are interested. businesses pay big money for lists of people's names and what they 'like'. they can then tailor their advertisements just for you!

be careful what you do online. nothing is really private.
