You can now post your AdSense code on your Facebook page or app. Facebook Developers can use the iFrame tool to build apps that run in HTML, JavaScript or CSS. To get your AdSense ads displaying on a page tab or app, you will need to insert the Javascript code snippet into a new iFrame Facebook app. Once set up, you can begin advertising via Google's third-party ad platform, reaching Facebook's large user database.

Tips & Warnings

  • For Google AdSense to function properly and display ads, you must have actual content, such as text, on the same page in which you insert the Javascript code snippet. If you do not, you are in violation of the Google AdSense terms of use.
  • Displaying third-party advertising platform ads on the Facebook website may be against the company's terms of service. Please check the terms of use agreement for Facebook Pages and Facebook Apps before implementing this method.
