Facebook Is Expanding Its Burgeoning Ad Network to the Mobile Web

The Menlo Park, Calif.-based company will begin making its Facebook Audience Network available for publishers and advertisers outside of publishers' native apps. The Audience Network for the mobile Web will include the same kind of targeting data it does through apps.

"So, the success that we've seen on mobile is beginning to solve the problems of how you can make sure that the right person receives the right message." Ad inventory will include banner and native ads on publishers' websites. According to Facebook, native formats now make up more than 80 percent of impressions through the Audience Network and perform as much as seven times better than standard banner formats. Boland said Facebook has seen a fivefold increase in the number of publishers offering native ads year over year. Facebook's Audience Network is massive. Earlier this month, the company revealed it had a $1 billion annual run rate during the fourth quarter for advertising spending, with the majority of that money going to publishers. According to its third-quarter earnings report, Facebook's mobile ad revenue totaled $3.4 billion. (Its... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
