How exactly does facebook make money?
-
I don't know if this is stupid question but, how does Facebook make money? Is it only from advertising? If it is, i really doubt that. There are only few advertisements on Facebook for them to make that much money! I apologize for my ignorance. I'm sure everyone knows the answer :)

Yes - advertising. They have MILLIONS of users, and can guarantee that each one of those users will see the ads every time they log on. That's better numbers than the advertisers get from TV/radio spots. Let's not forget that FB probably gets revenue every time a user clicks on an ad, too.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

I don't have one either. I used to, for about 2 months, and then deactivated it (accounts can't be deleted).

"each one of those" → "most" I see very few FB (or any) ads because I use a custom hosts file. /ravi

You're not alone. Actually I have one. My missus "conviced me" it's fun. So I created one. Nedless to say I have no ideea of the password... Not that I would need it. Miss: "Honey did you saw XYZ's new post on my wall?" Idiot: "Yeah they're awsome.".... Keep on playing or whatever I was doing PS: Idiot==this/me; :)
All the best, Dan

But you can remove all info and replace it with dummy data, right?

As in "I was a dummy for creating the account in the first place"?
