Comments on: Facebook and Revenue – You Make the Call http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/04/9618.html Internet Marketing News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:05:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anmen http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/04/9618.html/comment-page-1#comment-71711 Anmen Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:48:45 +0000 http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/?p=9618#comment-71711 Talk about having the rug pulled under their feet, it looks like a bubble is growing and Facebook has to be careful not to burst it. This news will be syndicated by more blogs later and the buzz will ever increase. Do I feel this leak was on purpose? Yes. Do I think the numbers are accurate? No. However, I feel it’ll get people to think about how they valuate Facebook. It hurts, not helps Facebook’s cause to go public in 2009.

In fact Facebook is not neglecting people outside the US. I'm in Bulgaria and a friend of mine has recieved a coupon for free advertising on FB for 100USD. I myself tried the service with my own money and ran some ads just to see what their ad platform looks like and how it converts. In my case I'd like to see better geo-segmentation of visitors. FB promises geo-targeting will come soon to Bulgaria like it is in the US. “One must consider that international users aren’t even part of the advertising efforts for Facebook yet so that could tell quite a bit of the story.”
