Atleast for now, the ads will be mostly visible on the popular networking platform’s uber cool game feature. Game publishers like CrowdStar, Zynga, and Digital Chocolate have already included themselves in the latest update. Facebook is now also working towards integrating the services of Sharethrough, SocialVibe, Epic Media and SupersonicAds to stream ads onto the above mentioned platform.

TrialPay is also in the integration process, and if in, it’ll be responsible to provide Facebook with the analytics.
