Facebook Advertising

Have you ever used Facebook advertising to promote your site? I mean using Facebook's PPC program: Advertising | Facebook

If so, what were the results? Were you pleased, and would you do it again?

 

Nick I am currently looking into this as I prepare to launch my forum. The process seems easy enough, but that's part of what makes me hesitant. When it's easy I question the success rate.

That being said, I too would be interested to hear if anybody has had any experience with Facebook advertising.

Thanks for introducing the topic!

I did not know that face book offered an advertising program. I need to talk to my wife and see if she wants to do that for her forum.

 

I tried it (before my website was hacked) and was beginning to get good registrations etc and then I was hacked and it all fell to pieces - I have been concentrating on rebuilding my forums rather than look into this again but once I am happy where we are again I may re-look into it.

I do think it s worth it from what i saw and experienced though.

 

Thanks for the insight, Merk.

Most of what I have read is good feedback about Facebook's advertising program. Most people seem to have had fairly decent results.
I just wonder if it's better or more effective than AdSense is.

I'm really interested in trying it out.

 

I was pleased with the results, but not with Facebook themselves.

After advertising for close to a month on facebook, I got a bill, which was supposed to be paid through my paypal Virtual Card. No problem, I know the card's good, so I let it go. Within 24 hours of it supposedly being 'billed', I get a notification saying they couldn't bill the card.

Well, I logged in, tried another virtual card, same results, though this time I see that facebook actually did get through to the card, because they took the usual $1 verification auth out.

Trying to contact someone about this problem is an utter mess. I got the typical form response, which shows they just don't care about their customers.

I love facebook, I love the fact that they can be used for advertising (it actually does work), but I'm not about to give them, or anyone else a real credit card number . This is why virtual cards like this are important, for security and privacy.

 

hrrm, how do you get coupons for this?

 

Wow, I wish I knew where to sign up for these coupons!

 

Me too LOL
