InsideFacebook shared a rundown of major advertising-related innovations and changes Facebook made this year.
News Feed and Mobile Ads
Facebook previously allowed feed-based ads in 2007 but it had never shown ads on mobile devices until this year. Now, the social network is earning $4 million a day from News Feed ads, with three-fourths of that from the mobile feed.
Facebook Exchange

In June, Facebook announced its Facebook Exchange, an advertising system that allows third-party platforms to place retargeting ads on the social network after users visit external websites marked with cookies.
Custom Audiences

Facebook’s Custom Audiences feature enables advertisers to use their CRM data and apply it to social advertising. Advertisers can use Power Editor or the Ads API to upload files of email addresses, phone numbers or user IDs, which Facebook will hash and then match with its own hashed database. Ads can be targeted to the matches.
