There are adverts on the right of the page in facebook. They are contextual adverts meaning they are related to the things you post, have in your interests or are related to the page you are on. The advertisers pay facebook for each time a user clicks on an advert. Google works in the same way, see the adverts on the right hand side next time you search.
