Hi Guys,

Ive been playing around facebook ads for some time now and ive seen mixed results from it. Some campaigns have .4% ctr and one campaign did .6%.

I just want to ask if this is any good?

      Wow! I thought that it was low. Nice to hear that it's pretty good! All my clicks goes to my fanpage. So far I'm not monetizing my fanpage yet so I don't know what my conversions are.

    0.01% could be amazing, 99% could be aweful, it all depends on how much money you make. Different adverts lead to different price points, one CTR for selling cars, is likely to be far different to a CTR for selling sweets

    Don't slack, if you are paying for the clicks, get monetising!

    You may want to stay away from facebook ads for just a little bit until this all gets sorted out. There is a lot of controversy on there right now on whether the clicks are actually real or bots.

    I'd hate to have a fellow warrior waste a ton of money and just end up frustrated and in the negative.

    Here's an article that will give you an idea of what's going on right now, sorry if this wasn't relevant to your interests or something I just wanted to make sure you were aware.

      This is true, Facebook has to address this issue asap. It is one of the many reasons why their share prices have plummeted !


      To the OP. Anything above .1% is amazing result on FB. But even more important is the conversions that you get !

        Yeah, I read that somewhere but as of the moment I am getting fairly good traffic from my fanpage to my blog. I'll observe on it and see how it goes. I am also targeting asian traffic since a big number of (real)fb users are from there.

          CTR has nothing to do with anything. It's your ROI.
          You could have 0.1% CTR and an amazing return,
          or, 75% CTR and make squat.

          Nobody can answer your question, and I'm not
          sure why people tried. Makes no sense. The only
          one who knows the answer to:

          "4 -.632% CTR good enough in Facebook Ads?"

          is you.

          So, you tell us. Are you making money? Are you making
          enough money? Are you making boatloads of money?

          Nobody is going to have the same CTR, nor is there
          any magic number. It's all about the bottom line, not
          the number of clicks.

          If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    That's pretty high... but you need to have a GOAL by doing the ppc.
    Get a like, an optin or whatever and look how much is your cost of achieving the goal... without that, you're just playing around

          That's what ive observed too but im directing them to my fanpage so i'm not sure if that's the same case as people directing fb ads to their website/salespage.
