Google Inc (GOOG) Is Scared of Facebook Inc (FB): Here’s Why

Page 2 of 2

Monetization is where Facebook is having issues. They have revenues of roughly $5.09 billion, but that yields net revenue of only $53 million. With the rising prevalence of mobile instead of desktop computing, Facebook will need to think of more effective advertising strategies or other forms of monetization such as a premium pay product. But as a young and innovative corporation, I trust that Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) will have the creativity to overcome this problem.

The future of Facebook and Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) depends on you and the success of their advertising strategy and monetization. If you currently own Google, congratulations! You have a wonderful investment that has more than likely already paid off. However, if you don’t have an extra $800 to spend on one share of stock, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is attractive because of its massive growth potential. If you don’t want to invest right now, keep an eye on its monetization strategies and earnings reports. I expect you’ll see positive growth soon.
