Facebook Penny Click Nonsense?

by Vikram73
7 replies
On Facebook I've been using a UID scraper (http://facesniper.com - very nice product and that's not an affiliate link) to build up target audiences for my niches.

Most of the offers I promote are profitable in US, England & Canada with most sales coming from the US.

I usually see CPC starting at $.20 and then from there can go down into the teens if I have a good CTR.

So my question for the group is - have you guys successfully gotten "good traffic" for less than $.10 CPC?

Or do those penny clicks always end up coming from Kerblakensplat?

Do you guys find it advantageous to let Facebook optimize the price for clicks? I always go in and manually set the price -

    I haven't seen penny clicks from the us on facebook in a long time. With that being said cheaper isn't always better. Often paying a bit more per click can put you in a better position

      I agree with you that CPC isn't everything but I am curious to see how cheap I can get US based clicks.

      I have gotten the clicks down to about $.02-$.03 and I bet I could get them cheaper but these are all foreign countries that my offers aren't going to work for.

      I'm able to get sub .10 - .15 if I target (UID scraping, geography/age etc..).

    If you are not seeing penny clicks then it means you don't run much campaign or you suck at campaigns.I have seen approx. $0.00 a click. I can reproduce it anytime

      So can I, but it will be junk traffic.

      For my target audience (100% US, in a specific niche, certain age range, etc..), I have got it down to 6 cents per click, and I think one day I had it down to 4 cents, but in general if I can keep it at or close to 10 cents/click, I'm extremely happy with that.

        I don't care if its junk traffic, my ROI from that is 1000%+

        Cheap doesn't mean junk!

    CPC usually isn't cheaper just because I am using UIDs, but, with some campaigns (not all), that technique gives me better CTR, which generates a lower CPC.
