Facebook is the fourth most visited website in the world. Because it costs so much ...

    Surely many of you are surprised that the social network Facebook was valued at $ 15 billion - this number is easy to calculate if you remember 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’s cost ?

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

    Under the deal between Microsoft and Facebook, the first company will be the exclusive providers of banner advertising on the second site until 2011. Preparing to advertise on Facebook, the Redmond company even updatedits AdCenter ad management system, greatly improving its functionality.
