Hi guys I was getting weird activity in my Facebook Ads when I did a bit of research and I found out I wasn't the only one. Facebook Ads appears to be a total fraud guys. I know it sounds hard to believe but you'll be convinced.

Check out this thread below of what top trusted experts, newscasts, and regular people are trying to warn you about:

What do you think of this? Have you had similar experiences in your Facebook campaigns?

    Facebook ads are not a fraud. The article itself blames the "like" networks out there...not Facebook.

    There's plenty of people making a generous living off Facebook ads. It's expensive...but it works for certain niches.

      I agree that you can make money with Facebook but that doesn't change the fact that your ROI and campaigns could be converting a lot higher. How much higher? It could be as high as 40%-60% percent and no one would even know it. Some experts actually suspect this percentage to be accurate. It is Facebook's responsibility to protect their advertisers and close accounts that are liking and clicking away on the ads. How hard could it be to auto *detect* these fraudulent activities in their systems?

      I know a few people who claim to be doing very well with fb ppc but yes, it can be very expensive and requires a close eye, especially in the beginning.

    i agree, lots of the likes you get come from people with either no friends or no interest in what it was you were promoting in the first place.

    I just took a brand new page from 0 to over 2K likes in less than 3 weeks with paid traffic only and judging by the engagement I get on each new post I make on the page, I'm guessing those likes are real.

    I have had meager success with Facebook Ads, but that doesn't mean that they are a fraud. Just like any other CPM, PPC ad service, you have to test, test, test. It just so happens that you will have to test A LOT with Facebook because only certain niches work well there. The ROI is pretty low there, but you can still make some money.

    Facebook ads are most definitely not a fraud. Grew one of my pages from 0 - 29,000 fans using FB ads. During this time frame, I also bounced them to my website, and captured over 6,000 emails, and 4,000 cell phone numbers. Made several thousand sales along the way as well...

    I don't say this to trumpet my own horn, but rather to illustrate that I've tested their ads first hand to a much deeper extent than the article referenced above, and I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of FB ads if you test, test, and test some more.

    Will you get some idiots using bots to game the system for the benefit of Fiverr sales, etc? Sure... But this will be the minority.

    Click fraud is experienced no matter where you go, tier 1 PPC - Tier 2, 3, or FB. It's the nature of being visible and public on such an exploitable platform as the web. But to state: "FB ads are a fraud" is tossing the baby out with the bath-water in my opinion...

        Do you know of any quality training? I already paid someone far too much for them to run with my money so am none the wiser (Tim Atkinson!!)

        any help appreciated,

        thanks,

        I also would be interested in purchasing a quality facebook pay per click course and am anxious for someone to chime in suggesting one.

        I tried Adwords briefly many years ago but face book is a whole other ball of wax altogether.

          The best Facebook paid ads courses are not for sale

          It's definitely a bit of a science...and the traffic is endless.

          Here's what I've been able to do with it so far this year alone.
