    You might still get impressions if you bid lower than they suggest.

    When you are buying traffic, typically there are two ways to buy:

    • CPC - Cost Per Click &
    • CPM - Cost Per Thousand Impressions.

    With FaceBook you should start with CPC to control costs and make sure your offer converts, then move it to CPM which might save you some money.

    With Linked-In I was going to test some paid advertising but the minimum CPC was $2 which I though was kind of high to test. They might have lowered the price and I am not sure if they offer CPM ads.

    Hope this helps

    Lets suppose I put lowest bid.Lowest bid.Will i get 1000 impressions for 2$ as they promise?
    I guess we miss many impressions from high bidders when we bid low.We lost them.I guess.Let me know if I am wrong

    You could start with $2 and see if you receive any impressions. If not, then you would have to increase your bid.

    Trick to doing paid advertising is to test and see what works. Many warriors comment that they will start a little high on FaceBook, then lower their bid down when they start getting traffic.

    Remember with FaceBook the more likes and traffic your ad gets, the cheaper your clicks.
