Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) Snapped 2-day Rally, Lost 5.50%


Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) announces the new strategy to grow its new ad products for the app developers.

FB had in the last reported quarter posted growth in advertising revenue of 27.8% yoy on an increased ad pricing growth of 9% yoy on the ramp in Sponsored Stories and News Feed ads, which drove higher conversion.

But, the Company still could not achieve the expected ad growth (ad growth in the quarter was 18% yoy) and ad impressions continued to grow more slowly than users, largely due to increasing Facebook usage on mobile devices.

Also, with the loss of Wildfire, the preferred app developer of Facebook site, to Google last week has raised a new concern for the social network site. The preferred app developer have been developing applications for the social networking site for four years and had posted revenue leap of 300% in FY 2011.
