Facebook Advertising-How am I doing?

3 replies
Hi,

Recently I tried FB advertising for my Local Free Classifieds site.
Total Budget: 10$
Running days: 10

I chose Clicks to Website option. Because I wanted to let people know about my site. I targeted people who have shown interest in free classifieds, automobiles, real estate etc.

First I set 5$ budget for 5 days. From that I managed to get:
314 website clicks, 13856 reach, 17 page likes

After that ended I added another 5$ for 5 days. Before delivering this I removed the worse CTR banners and added new banners for them.
I got:
299 website clicks, 10217 reach; 16 page likes.

Max CTR I got was 3-4%

So in total for 10$, I got 613 clicks, 24073 reach, 33 page likes.

My question is, is this better? Did you get more than this for your website? (I know there are so many variables to consider.)
But how do I know Im doing it right? How do I know if it was worth it?

If you want to check out my website here it is:


Thanks

      That sounds good to me but how do they convert? You spent $10 and instead of looking at how many likes you got, views and traffic, how many of those intern led to sales on your site.

      My advice is you could pay $500 for 1,000,000 legit user likes.. but if non of them convert, then you just lost $500.

      Was there any ROI?

        Yes that sounds like impossible numbers, Facebook charges me way too much.

        For my site only conversion that can happen is 'user posting an ad'.
        Honestly I don't know if users came from FB did that.
        I advertise the site from offline method too.
        So Im not sure where those users who post ads came from.

        Is there any way to track them? Any tutorials?

        Thanks
