    Facebook PPC, in tandem with laser targeted traffic, converts VERY well. With the right offers, CTRs up to 10% are pretty normal. Here's a tip -- Gamefly.com converts VERY well in the gaming vertical on facebook. Be sure to see if your network/offer allows facebook traffic!

    Alot of the offers I look at don't allow social media, so I haven't even had a chance to implement it just yet. And I have over 600 friends on FB. What kind of offers does the networks allow for FB? Anyone know?

        It's weird...I've had the same issue with some offers. The interesting thing is that i've set up the same exact campaign twice, and it'll get approved the second time around. It's as if a different person looked at it and approved it.

          Thanks for this Fox30. I tried placing an ad on Facebook last week and I received about a page long reply on why it wasn't approved. I thought it was a very good ad. Maybe someone was having a bad day.

      You are talking about marketing to your friends on facebook, which some people would consider basically just spamming your friends. However, everyone else on this thread for the most part is talking about buying advertising from facebook itself and running ads on facebook, which is accepted by any network as far as I know. The networks that say no myspace, facebook marketing, etc. just don't allow social media in terms of spamming friends or putting affiliate links on your personal profile or a fake facebook profile you use for marketing.

      As to your question about "what kind of offers does the networks allow for FB?" it varies wildly and from case to case, there is no definite answer. You just have to look at the terms for each cpa network and each offer if want to use facebook for marketing in terms of putting up links on group pages your own page, sending messages to friends, etc.

    Yea.... So I got a ad approved and have been running ads for 1 day now.

    The suggested CPC was 0.44 I put mine at 0.27 and started getting a few impressions

    So I raised it up to 0.35 and started getting a little more. Finally 0.42

    After a day my CTR is .04 which is terrible...

    I have also read about people that are having terrible CTR on facebook.

    Does anyone have any advice.

      You should do some targeting. You can target by age, sex, education, interests, etc.

    The biggest headache with FB is getting the ads approved.Even not typing a punctuation like a fullstop at the end of the ad. will get u r ad disapproved.They follow grammer strictly .I once copied the ads which are already running on facbook and submitted for approval.Still they have not approved my ads.as they are not in line with thier guidelines.After 30 or so disapprovals finally I got my ads running.The CTR is pathatic,on the average of less than .03% !!.
    Luckily for me I used a $250 Voucher and ended up with out much loss.
    FB advertising works best for dating offers and email/zip/PIN submit offers.FB does not allow BIZ OPP /Dieting/MLM offers

    Well I am not a CPA or FB expert, but I did just buy Fox30's WSO earlier today, and I like it a lot. It is pretty simple to follow, and he explains how to choose the right offers and target them for the best results. Like he said in his post earlier in this thread, check out his WSO in his signature. I think it is good and it will answer most of your questions.

    I don't rate facebook ads that much. There's cheaper and more profitable ways of promoting cpa offers in my eyes.

    Facebook is damn expensive!

    I have yet to try facebook ads fro my CPA offers but it is something i will be testing very soon. But I have heard so many stories of people killing facebook with there CPA offers.

    You could also use the facebook apps to turn a profit too. I mean just look at how the casino type apps work....
