The Facebook rate cards have been leaked from a Facebook insider, directly addressing the myth that Facebook has continually perpetrated, indicating that a rate card never existed to begin with.

Now the evidence indicates otherwise, and people are speculating in a more narrow sense about the financial wheels that are spinning in regards to how much Facebook generates on a yearly basis. That has of course spilled over to the overall valuation of Facebook as well. Are the numbers right on? The leaked rate cards have presented some rather flat rates for things like sponsored groups, which will cost you $50,000 with a three month required commitment. It's important to note that the leaked Facebook rate cards are from February, which is more than old—it's pre-application days. Regardless of the facts versus the myths that continue to circle around Facebook, it's going to cost you a lot of money to have a momentous ad campaign on Facebook.
