Facebook Inc offered reassurances to investors on Wednesday that its digital ad business would remain highly profitable Cheap Joey Gallo Jersey , despite a dip in usage on the social media network and an overhaul of its flagship News Feed.


The company said in an earnings report that quarterly revenue jumped 47 percent from a year earlier, and executives said on a conference call that they saw more chances to make money even if people spend less time on Facebook.


Analysts had wondered about the resilience of the world’s largest social media network, which is making changes to its products to deter foreign influence campaigns like ones that it says Russia has carried out and to stem the spread of sensationalism.


Facebook added to jitters after the bell on Wednesday when, in its earnings report Cheap Delino DeShields Jr. Jersey , it said that at the end of last year time spent by users had fallen by about 50 million hours a day.


Shortly afterward, though, Facebook executives expressed optimism on the call with analysts, saying the changes they were making in response to criticism would be healthy for the business in the long term and might not even hurt much in the short term.


“I want to be clear: The most important driver of our business has never been time spent by itself. It’s the quality of the conversations and connections Cheap Russell Wilson Jersey ,” Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on the call.


Facebook management “acknowledged things that maybe most investors weren’t thinking about before — the reduction of users and usage — but at the same time they pointed to a lot of positive trends on their other platforms,” Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser said.


Although Facebook usage is down, he said, “One shouldn’t be reflectively negative on this.”


Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg told analysts that recent changes to reduce disinformation on Facebook could create “more monetization opportunities.”


Sandberg said she was optimistic about potential revenue from ads on “stories” on Facebook and Instagram Cheap Elvis Andrus Jersey , while Chief Financial Officer David Wehner said the average price per ad increased 43 percent in quarter.


“They said average revenue per ad was up a lot, that quality of ads has improved, and that the engagement declines were not meaningful,” Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said.


“In other words Cheap Ferguson Jenkins Jersey , better quality engagement and better ability to target ads. The street probably likes that,” he said.
