According to eMarketer (www.emarketer.com), Facebook ads will bring in more than $5 billion in revenue for Facebook in 2012 and are projected to bring in close to $7 billion in 2013. That’s a lot of money, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Facebook makes an effort to keep that revenue stream a-flowin’. Clearly, Facebook has a vested interest in making the ads an easy and pleasant experience for both the marketer and the Facebook community.
