I personally use cpc and start with $1 bid to get the best ad position the lower my bids as my ctr increases. Your target rate is pretty high and your .03 bid will go by pretty fast since FB likes to take everything you got. I would narrow down your ad to age. For example if your are targeting gamers, so a split test of 3 age groups (18-25, 26-35, 35-55). Run the ads and keep the best one. From there start tweaking your ad (picuture then text). It will take some time. Good luck!

Thanks for the heads up.

I used Ruck's guide and focused on traffic outside of the US. First campaign I setup was Brazil and instantly received clicks. Insane!

UPDATE - I'm running a campaign to get Likes to my FB fan page. The first ad is targeting UK users but it's quite broad. I may narrow it down however the CTR is 0.11% which is pretty good (according to Ruck's report).

Thanks

I change ads every 2 or 3 days. It helps (i'm not sure why - maybe people get bored with same ads)

Thanks

Well it's recommended that you run several ads at the same time and analyze which one converts the best.

Test, test, test!

Just keep tweaking until you hit a sweet spot. The instant gratification element of Facebook Ads is the best

Amen to that brother. It's time to dump Google for good.

I set our ads to CPC and we start at $0.50. My offline business's lowest price point is £40 for a job, so I'm happy to be paying that.
As we get clicks, I change our bid to the highest of the recommended bid range.
I only narrow down the target audience if it makes the estimated CPC go lower. Ours is targeting by people who live in our town and surrounding villages anyway and their age, so we don't really change that a lot anyway.

Thanks

What I did is buy FB Target ID (have WSO about it) and use it to grab group/pages mamber ID.
That list I insert in my fb ad (shown inside the software) and link add to my Facebook fan iframe tab.
I get closely targeted visitors in a second and what is better one; that add will rotate and be visible ONLY to member ID I gather with the software.
This is my way of Facebook CPM

UPDATE 2 - FB ads definitely work. So far I am up to 12K impressions with a 0.18% CTR. Not outstanding but no bad considering it's my first campaign. I am now ready to test/tweak some ideas.

If you're sitting on the fence then I suggest you give this a go.
