As you can see here, LinkedIn's year over year revenue growth rate is 89%. Facebook, on the other hand, is 32%. LinkedIn's absolute revenue is much smaller. We've also plotted it below.

Those three revenue streams help its growth. It's also growing at a greater clip because LinkedIn is coming into its own now.
