Everyone hates reading adverts, but they also hate paying for products. It’s a never ending cycle, similar to that of Wikipedia. However, news of Facebook adding “sponsored stories” to the news feed in 2012 has caused massive outrage online, as it does every time Facebook changes something.
It appears now that Facebook feels like they need to justify why they’re making the changes, and have started putting an announcement on users homepages that appears to explain why the company needs ads to survive. The announcement (pictured below) asks “Ever wonder how Facebook makes money?”
Even stranger, the link goes nowhere now, but we were able to find a page that explains the difference between “ads” and “sponsored stories.” There’s also a FAQ with more information here. They explain them to be:
A business pays Facebook to feature existing posts and activity that mention the business. Sponsored stories don’t include additional messaging from the sponsor. Like Facebook Ads, they’re only visible to friends you’ve already shared this information with.
We suspect that most users probably don’t care, and never have wondered how the site raises cash and just want to get on using the site with minimal interference. The question remains though, does Facebook actually need more money to run, or are they just attempting to raise their profit lines?

CEO & founder
Almost as much as the increase in sales that I received with my Google Advertising Campaign, I enjoyed how the folks at Digital Traffic Factory didn’t try to BS me and helped make me understand (as thick as I am) what each thing they were talking about was. I had someone handling my ‘SEO’ for years, and I never knew what was going on. Digital Traffic Factory showed me – in our first meeting – where I could see the SEO ‘stuff’ on my website. Come to find out, the person who I ihad been paying for SEO wasn’t doing a single thing.

We know what we're doing when it comes to the web. But like most things on the web, a bit of scepticism is healthy. So that is why we put our money where our mouth is. We don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk.
We're so confident in our abilities, that once we outline a plan, if we don't hit the metrics, you owe us nothing for our efforts.
