Facebook - Does It Get Any Worse?

Your image is everything with facebook.

Remember most people on facebook are very bored so by creating some weird image it will attract their attention.

Bored offers also don't really work well on facebook i noticed.

Oh I will admit, my ads are boring...but...it seems like boring is all they accept there

The image makes a huge deal. My Clicks doubled just by changing the image. It always seems to be better if you use a picture of a person.

As far as getting accepted.. I have heard some people say that they are having to submit the same ad multiple times to get it accepted.

My personal opinion on facebook is that you can get lots of traffic, but it doens't convert nearly as well as what you get on Google

yeah, I would also agree, I have heard very negative reports regarding facebook ad click-throughs etc, I would personally give it a miss. Personally I can't remember the last time I clicked on a facebook ad!

Your ad copy needs work, do some more split testing

Your ad's image is EVERYTHING

People at Facebook is smart and only click to get a new information if they think it is interesting. They tired with daily site and want to relax with their friendship. If you create a Page at Facebook, it may work better.

Make a lot of ads and see which ones get accepted. Re-submit the ones that weren't. Then drop everything below 0.08%-ish CTR after a day or two.

Split test different images, demographics and ad copy, put your highest CTR ads into CPM.

Facebook is getting much harder due to the quality score they are unofficially starting to implement.

i read that facebook offered demographic on it's ad to target specific country on your campaign and also age bracket have you use this features

facebook people are suffering "ad blindness" , they don't even notice any ads which comes on there screen.

I had the same results

High CPC and low CTR

adwords is best. Try adbrite or yahoo's ads if you want an alternative

I finds that the Ad placing on Facebook is very poor as compared to Adsense websites which results in low CTR.

If your ad is getting that low of a CTR on FB then you just need to delete it and start over. FB ads are all about the image, your budget and allowed spend per day, the time of the day and even week you start the ad. Target smaller numbers with tighter demographics to increase your CTR. Ad with low CTR has no chance on FB. Low meaning below 0.04. FB just ruled to not allow my direct offers on FB anymore which are finance related. So I am bummed, it did very well for us and I am looking for other options.

First post, nobody wants to boring see ads they always see around the net, you have to be creative and put some kind of twist on it.

Without revealing too much my latest campaign has had over a 0.45-50%+ CTR (screenshots can be provided) with 0.02c per click and 0.10 average CPM and giving me about a 0.15 EPC on my offer, so you can imagine how much I pump into just getting these cheap clicks.

Facebook loves high CTR and will reward you with dirt cheap targeted clicks.

You need to grab the attention and target like crazy, only target people who you know FOR SURE will glance at your ad. I typically only target around 50-100k people for a really large niche.

The only thing that really annoys me is the approval system. One time I submitted over 4 ads which were approved within 1 hour. A few days later I tried to submit similar ads but kept getting denied, but then when I tried to submit the exact same ads they were accepted the next day.

But in conclusion its possible to get cheap targeted clicks on Facebook. Just test test test like everyone said.

If some folks are finding success in FB advertising and you're not, well, simply put, there's obviously something wrong.

FB advertising relies heavily on the images that you use along with your text description. I'd say the image is probably the most important thing to grab attention so try split testing with different images and then alter the text that goes with your ads to get a winner.

I wouldn't say people are suffering from ad blindness completely, otherwise there wouldn't be any people having success with FB marketing. It's just figuring out what works for a specific campaign in terms of text and image, then your landing page, too, to maximize your conversions.

It's hard to make a good ROI on Facebook PPC nowadays. You might want to look into alternatives like creating Groups or Fan Pages. A lot of times, you can get free traffic this way. Lots of suckers are joining random groups and pages it seems.

I didn't get very good results with Facebook either, but its a good means of testing how effective your advertisements are. Compared to Google, you will still always get clicks (due to the massive amount of exposure).

But Facebook is more targeted.

My advice is simple... I would be find someone who is doing well with Facebook ads and take a look at how they are doing it!

There will be plenty of people out there achieving the results you want...

Then you can adapt and use the methods in your campaign.

Good luck

If you're having problems with Facebook, you're not alone, lots has changed over there, don't forget - there are a ton of traffic sources out there.

PPC on Facebook is not good as on Google. Google is the best, facebook is the best for social media business.

Don't worry, Facebook has ALWAYS had a HORRIFFIC CTR.

I think the average CTR is somewhere around 0.07%

Any questions let me know

you NEED at least 0.1-0.2% CPR on Facebook! It's hard to be profitable without getting that

Am not sure you really know the nitty-gritty of using facebook to make money. You can get a high conversion with or without facebook ads. Since you have started using facebook ads, my simple advice for you is this; Test CPM and CPC and see which one works best for your product.

As an internet marketer with over 10 years of experience, I have discovered that that Pay Per View banner advertising is a cheap and easy way to attract quality traffic to a website. The fact remains that visuals attract than mere words. When one is surfing the net and sees a banner which demonstrates a man coming from the bank with money in his hands, curiosity will make him/her to click the banner

In my latest research carried out on Facebook Pay Per View advertising program, I paid $0.08 for 1,000 impressions at the cost of $2 per day. Two dollars ($2) will fetch me 25,000 impressions. By the time I had spent $11, I had enjoyed more than 800,000 impressions and 1,672 clicks.


By the figure given above, for what I have spent only $11 for, I would spend $0.05 X 1672 = $83.6 if I opted for PPC.


From my perspective, there are instances when banner pay per view form of online advertising is effective. It is effective when you are targeting a niche and are sure that the adverts will appear only when such people are available e.g. advert targeting a country or language.


If you would like to know more on how to make money on facebook, I suggest you get my FACEBOOK GOLD DIGGER system currently on offer at WSO.

i had similar results until I changed both my ad and picture. doubled my CTR.

I had submitted 15 dating offers in facebook out of which , 12 got rejected within 20 mins. and 3 got accepted.
But today i am submitting many dating offers all are showing pending for last 12 hours. I think they have removed me from there list due to submitting too much ads.

I am sorry as i have never tried over Facebook but can you tell what is the basis you need to pay them? Are they happy with commisions or they are working on per day payouts??

Really, I cant remember clicking on a Facebook ad, EVER. o.o

Wow, just noticed lol.

The image you place is definitely the biggest factor in getting attention. It's bad enough that Facebook is cluttering their member pages with tons of apps and junk, then the paid ads are wayyy to the far right which makes them almost non-existent to the potential client. I think at some point they'll have to place some ads in more prominent areas of the site if they wish to deliver better results to their advertisers.

Facebook advertising SUCKS if you're advertising a website but works AMAZINGLY if you want to advertise something on Facebook like a page, group, application or page post. Never use it to have people leave Facebook to another websites, it would be just a big waste of money. I used it; however, to get fans for a page I got 10,000 fans in 2 days or so and they were SO active.
