To learn more about the Facebook Audience Network click here. I will be using this line: Facebook Audience Network and FAN interchangeably which means the same thing.

Facebook Audience Network (FAN) is synonymous to admob, Google mobile advertisement platform. This means FAN was created with the intent of mobile application at heart but, later got support for mobile web browsers. Which means FAN is gradually evolving from application to web browsers and more. Therefore, this means FAN for now, doesn’t show up on DESKTOP when you run it on your web property as of this 2016, it only shows on mobile. But, may be Facebook may later include support for FAN on DESKTOP. This feature clearly distinct FAN from Google adsense whose advertisement could be seen both in mobile and desktop layout, at least for the time being.

  2. Rabin

    mine website is not approve for audience network can you plz tell me the reasons and how to approve

  3. Hi rabin,
    What platform is your website: WordPress, blogger, hand written or others?..
    Reason for it not been approved:
    1. If your Facebook app used with FAN isn’t turned on to ‘LIVE’ mode
    2. If you didn’t create or place the FAN code in your web property.
    3. If you didn’t specify the address of the web property that FAN will point to.
    It may take a while for you to be approved or instantly. Try refreshing the page and check FAN inbox for any approval message.
    Read the steps again one after the other I believe you will be approved in no time.
    If you are using WordPress, there is another post on nbln of placing FAN code on WordPress. Try checking it.
    If you are using another platform. Create a new ad, set it to banner or native. Copy the HTML code. GOTO your site’s back end and place the code in header, footer, body, post area or any where in your site just like any other ad code. Make sure the FAN app is LIVE and you have added your domain also. Then refresh the FAN page after a while, check your inbox in FAN to see any message.
