Facebook and Advertising It is moderately known that most of the revenues generated by Facebook come from the huge amount of advertising that gets done over Facebook. One even can go as far as to say that Facebook runs its entire business over the amount of money generated by ad-revenues. But the problem with Facebook mobile advertising is the area of access users get through a mobile phone is very limited. This scarcely allows any scope for any sort of high level dynamic advertising.
