Facebook Audience Network serves ads to one billion users monthly
More than one billion people see an ad served by Facebook's Audience Network (FAN) every month, the company announced this week. The majority of these ads are viewed on mobile devices. According to the company, advertisers that opt into the network achieve 16% more reach by accessing consumers outside of Facebook while still using the company's targeting data. Most recently, Facebook added Wenner Media and The Washington Post to its network. Other newly-added publishers include the Daily Mirror, Univision in the US and Blackberry Messenger in Indonesia.

While Facebook has had 1 billion users on its social network for quite some time, it now has more than 1 billion people viewing its advertising network.

Today, the company announced that more than 1 billion people see an ad thorough its Facebook Audience Network every month. The company says the total—which is primarily a mobile audience—allows advertisers who opt into the network to reach 16 percent more than they can on Facebook's flagship project. FAN, as its called, lets advertisers reach consumers off of Facebook while still still using the same targeting data.
