But even with this limited exposure and promotion, Facebook Credits fees already represents $557 Million in revenue or 15 percent of Facebooks entire 2011 revenue. Even more remarkable is that less than two percent of Facebook users bought virtual goods with Facebook Credits in 2011, yet it still represented 15 percent of Facebooks revenue, primarily from just one vertical social gaming.
