Anecdotally, I know a few companies spending between $15k and $50k+ per day on facebook's version of adwords to shovel the masses into games.

You know how people attribute worth to meaningless points in games? Kid CEOs these days attribute worth to the live-updating user stats (DAUs and MAUs, oh my) of their facebook casual-social-viral games. They'll do anything to make those numbers go up, including spending $200k to $1MM+ per month on ads.




How do those companies make back their ad investment?


More ads.


That sounds an awful lot like yahoo and aol's homepage ad deals.
