Earn Money From Your Mobile Website Using FAN Ads

Facebook has announced the expansion of the Audience Network to support mobile web, inter alia, increasing the value of native ad formats and people-based marketing to a new set of publishers and allows 2.5 million Facebook advertisers to reach more of the people they care about on mobile devices.

What this simply means is that publishers can now monitize their high quality content with Facebook ads and advertisers can now extend their campaigns beyond Facebook, mobile apps and mobile websites.

Prior to this announcement, Facebook Audience Network (FAN) only allowed app developers to monetize their mobile apps by using Facebook's powerful advertising platform. Now that has been extended to mobile web, you can now monetize your iOS and Android apps, as well as mobile websites with targeted ads.

With Facebook Audience Network (FAN), you can now get instant access to various demands of 2.5M Facebook advertisers. Facebook takes the right ad to the right person - to improve usability and maximize your revenue potential.
Unlike other networks, the public network rewards quality publishers based on the value they create for advertisers.

Facebook Audience Network Ad Types

The Audience Network gives publishers and developers the ability to choose between three different ad units: banners, interstitials and native advertising.

All three ad units have access to the same great-targeted advertisers because the ads are automatically displayed on the device you selected fit.

For Mobile Web publishers, you can choose from native performing ad units, 300x250 medium rectangle and 320x50 banners to deliver advertisements from Audience Network. Each format is a simple JavaScript integration with your mobile website.

It is important to note that Facebook interstitial ads are not available for mobile web that is for just apps.
