In another move by Facebook to improve it’s revenue outlook and halt it’s falling share price, it’s been announced today that a new advertising service is launching.  The new service, dubbed Sponsored Results, is currently in testing and is being called “Facebook’s Answer To Search Advertisements”. Very simply put, when you search in the search bar on Facebook traditionally you only saw free results.  Either you saw Fan Pages, Events Or People, now businesses are being given the opportunity to include advertisements into this search bar area. The move by Facebook is a good one as it should help to bring onside media buyers who are familiar with the search
