Differences Between Contextual Advertising in Facebook
                   and vKontakte
          Audience in VK has less purchasing ability than audience in FB, because of the
          age factor


          Fashion stuff, clothes, accessories and language courses will
          have greater demand in VK

            Interesting and appealing photos of advertising produces or services,
            this concerns both FB and VK
