How do the owners of Facebook make so much money if it's free to use? - wordscantdescribeme - 02-19-2014 12:41 PM
I understand it's free to sign up for face book, so you don't pay any money.
I know the owners have advertisements on their site, but are the advertisements really the reason how all 3 of them became billionaires?

Theres probably a lot of reasons but all i can think of is for Ad's for such a big audience.

Because of the obviously HIGH amount of visitors... companies know that people will be viewing the pages, so pay facebook to post their advertisements etc. (notice them all on the side bar?)
