Linking FB Ads to A FB Page as a strategy?

by PCH
12 replies
A guy on here on WF reckons FB will love you, and will reward you by allowing more tolerance with your ads and give cheaper CPC with ads done like this, since you are sending your visitor to a FB location.

It's for this reason mainly that I need to follow this up.

Briefly, the technique involves your visitor clicking your Ad, he gets sent to an app on your FB Page, and from there, a redirection script sends the visitor to your squeeze or offer page. So the end result is the same, but you get the benefits created by sending your visitor initially to a FB location.

So why am I asking about this here?

Well basically the OP of the method is so convinced his information is correct that it couldn't possibly 'not work'. Basically I'm sure he's very busy with his own stuff, so can't really spare the time to attend to individual issues, which I understand.

I followed the instructions precisely, and it didn't work. Nevertheless, the idea seemed good.

So is anyone else familiar with this technique in sufficient detail to share and help me get this working. I've done some googling and can't find anything, so I'm guessing it's a little known technique.

Any ideas guys?

    Me too read that technique and just not sure why you need so many steps to
    simply redirect people.. Page-- App.. You can add simple Framed page
    and do redirect from there.. First do simple Landing page with "click
    here" button, comment out Redirect ones approved, undo comments on redirect
    script
    And you will send your traffic to that Internal page either with Auto redirect
    or without it. Still internal page without any app. Same outcome.

    Facebook doesn't like this, they are quick bann / delete your account.

    They don't even like a URL in the top of you facebook. But that you can get alway with.

    I think the dude in this forum that came up with redirecting to your external url within the FB app was assuming lower costs but facebook doesn't like this.The real truth is, it doesn't matter whether you direct traffic externally or internally, what is know amoungst experienced FB PPC's is ,the higher your CTR facebook will automatically lower your costs. Focus on optimizing your ads so you increase your CTR's, which will improve your EPC's and your ad costs will automatically plummet. You get more clicks paying less money. Don't focus on shady tactics like redirect scripts nonsense.

      This is exactly it!

      Always focus on quality! This also serves true with most other self serving traffic sources.

    Correct. I tried this method and used a wso thread as landing page following another warrior's recommendation that FB would consider the WF as a social platform and thus allow linking to it. They denied the ads. Of course I have no means of knowing why exactly they dissapproved them, I tried several variations, images, ad text. But I think they just didn't approve of where the ad leaded to, i.e. a 'make money' IM product.

      Update: I tried a new campaign with a direct link to the WF wso thread and my ads were almost instantly approved. They definitely don't like the redirect.

          Hey Guys,

          thanks for your thoughts on this issue. Like most things, if it's seems too good to be true, it probably is. When will I learn not to chase these things? Thanks for taking the time to respond everyone, I appreciate your time and effort

          Regards to all,
          Paul

    No its not true that facebook favors ads that lead to a fan page, or penalizes you for that matter.

    What you need to ask yourself really when it comes to it is, what are you wanting to achieve? Do you want to just hard-sell someone a product? In which case just point them to your website.

    Do you want to build a list of customers and build a relationship so that when they're ready to buy they already know where to find you? and this is where having people pass through your fanpage is a must do, just is.

    I don't know if that WSO has a demo site you can visit but if you wanted to see a funnel setup, visit the link in my signature, and go through the phases right up until you hit the buy button (nothing to see but the product after that). the cool magicians part happens when you move someone from the sales page to your website without them even realising the've left facebook see if you can tell when it happens

    folks, I seem to be bumping into a few of the faces in the WF facebook threads. I'd be interested in setting up a skype call to throw some ideas around with some more experts in this field
