A smartphone focused advertising network has now been launched by the social media giant.

At the F8 developer conference, Facebook unveiled and launched their new mobile marketing network that provides the ability to target users throughout the various applications that they use on their devices.

This also gives the ability to target them for advertising based on the data they have shared with the social network.

The new mobile marketing product has been called the Facebook Audience Network, and it gives brands the ability to place their advertisements on third party applications through the use of the intricate targeting data from Facebook. This network has been under testing by the social media giant since 2012. It will give advertisers the capability to use both custom units or the traditional standard form of banner ads.

This new mobile marketing network will place Facebook in direct competition with InMobi and AdMob.

It also adds a new way in which Facebook is competing with Twitter, as that other social media platform has already taken its own type of approach to smartphone based advertising after it acquired the MoPub ad network in 2013.

So far, though there have been many efforts and repeated high hopes regarding Facebook’s mobile advertising strategies, there have yet to be a great deal of large scale successes. This, despite the fact that the social media platform claims that there are one million advertisers currently using it to reach consumers.

The signature smartphone ad, which gives developers the opportunity to be able to promote app installations, currently makes up 59 percent of the ad revenue for the company as a whole. Last Wednesday Mark Zuckerberg stated that Facebook was behind a massive 1 billion application installations until now. He added that “I’m really excited about this Audience Network,” expressing that “This is really the first time that we’re going to help you monetize in a serious way on mobile.”

This mobile marketing network is one of a series of new Facebook features that are focused on providing advertisers on developers. It is also working toward a method that will allow one app to be able to link to another without having to use a mobile web page as a “middleman” along the way.

Facebook’s Autofill product has been unveiled at the company’s own developer’s conference

Facebook has unveiled a new mobile commerce product at its f8 developer’s conference. The company has been showing more interest in mobile payments for some time and has been taking steps to help facilitate mobile shopping through its social network in order to cater to the interests of its users.  The new product is called “Autofill” and is meant to simplify the process of making payments from a mobile device.

Autofil aims to make mobile shopping more efficient and enjoyable for consumers

Autofill is designed to make payments simpler by removing the need to input financial information multiple times. Facebook began testing this product last year while it was exploring ways to improve the mobile shopping experience for consumers. The testing phase allowed Facebook to form a better understanding of the mobile commerce space and the expectations that consumers have therein. Using this information, Facebook aimed to develop a product that could bring more efficiency to the mobile shopping experience.

Facebook has been slow to enter into the mobile payments space, focusing instead on marketing

Facebook has been relatively slow to embrace mobile payments when compared to similar companies. This is largely because the company has become heavily focused on mobile marketing. Facebook has been working to leverage itself as a mobile advertising platform in order to attract new investors and provide services to companies interested in engaging mobile consumers. As Facebook becomes more confident in its advertising services, it is beginning to expand its focus to other mobile-centric sectors.

Autofill may become popular if it manages to enhance the mobile shopping experience

Exactly how popular the Autofill product will be among consumers is impossible to determine at this time. There is generally little hype behind the product, but consumers have shown that they are often on the lookout for new mobile commerce products that can improve their shopping experience. If Autofill can accomplish this task, it may become a very popular product that could have a major impact on how people experience mobile shopping in the relatively near future.
