Surely many of you are surprised that Facebook social network was valued at $ 15 billion - this number is easy to calculate, if we recall that at the end of October Microsoft acquired 1.6% of the company's shares for $ 240 million. So what is the main reason for this site cost? ?

The fact is that Facebook is the fourth most visited site in the world, which is already almost "comes on the heels" of Google. Ahead, besides the already named Google.com, there are only Yahoo and MySpace sites.

According to the deal between Microsoft and Facebook, the first company will be the exclusive provider of banner advertising on the second site until 2011. In preparation for advertising on Facebook, the Redmond company even updated its system for managing advertisements AdCenter, significantly improving its functionality.

No wonder, because Facebook is a huge advertising platform! According to emarketer.com, in just one past month, 34.5 billion pages were scanned, which is pretty good. In addition, it is worth noting that the number of new registered Facebook users increases daily by 250 thousand.
