SE is direct advertising. a plumber in Leeds, can advertise himself. The only reason a person goes to Google is to search for something, service, product of information.
FB is indirect advertising, it's like TV advertising. Advertisers hope to get brand recognition and lure people to look at ads. FB users go for entertainment and socializing. this will effect their advertisers in a big way. So unless FB can tap into the Coke level of companies for advertising clients, it will never rank very high. High maybe, just not very high.
The prices I've heard of FB's value seem to be silly valuations. A share issue will put their value in a better perspective, but we know what some think of share values. Often resembles a game of poker more than investing.

you are the most ignorant idiot here
listen to yourself waffle on about facebook like you have even the slightest fucking clue
your like paul markham's trainee idiot
10% of all internet traffic is happening at facebook. If that doesnt tell you all you need to know then there isnt much hope for you. Which ,in your case, is exactly the case.

Having 10% of traffic doesn't make your company or the industry worth 100s of billions.
How much traffic on the porn sector of the Internet and how much is the whole online porn business worth?
You're a
qualified idiot who still thinks traffic is the key to real wealth. Real wealth, not enough to tap away on your computer in your rented apartment or Mum's basement.
Having a product that people will buy is the key to wealth. Not millions of people surfing for free.
