Interesting. If I try to make an ad in Facebook for my country (Puerto Rico) with only Puerto Rico based users from 13 years old to any the site gives me this data:
1,264,480 people
who live in Puerto Rico
who are not already connected to (my profile)
Or somebody is blowing numbers here or there's no way to get an accurate data for this issue.
You said it is taken from facebook API, is there any way i can see monthly facebook usage stats per country over 2 years. I want to see these stats for Pakistan
