With the Facebook redesign, Facebook launched new advertising units on the home page, which can be filled with a variety of ad units that are deeply integrated into Facebook features like events, pages, and virtual gifts. Find out how you can make the most of your Facebook ad dollars with details on every ad unit available inside Facebook.
