Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to ask if someone is using FB ads to promote a business.

Let me share with you my personal experience for all those who want to start a PPC campaign.

What About Facebook Ads?

Pros of FB:

  • Easy to Set up
  • Lets you use more text vs. the competition (Bing, Adwords,etc)
  • You can use images and videos
  • CPC (Cost Per Click) is far more cheaper than Bing and Adwords. This provides a lot of traffic to your website.

BUT... these are the Cons:

  • Ads Approval may take a little longer than other PPC companies
  • Click quality is very poor (in my experience). I checked with a Heatmap tool (tracks hits in a website) and a Content analysis tool (track how much people read on a specific article) and I found out that not even the first line was read. Check below image:

If you notice, 100% of the clicks left the page without even reading.

After this, I decided to stop promoting articles with FB ads. I currently use FB to promote my FB page or to get likes for my posts.

I will keep on focusing in BING ADS which provide really great quality traffic. If you need to know how to set up a Bing ads campaign check out the step by step guide provided by Kyle:

Thanks for the information Kevin

Glad that it helps Dreamer

Thanks Kevin!

Welcome holly!

Thank you Kevin

Welcome !

Thank you Kevin it seems from your experience and from the other comments here that Bing is to be the preferred route

You're Welcome mate. Hope i have saved you money :)

Thanks, Kevin. But are you limiting to Bing now and avoid Google?

Bing Works really good and Google adwords is more complicated. They have a lot of requirements that you need to comply with (needless to say that is more expensive)


Thanks, Kevin!

Facebook Ads ~ I have used it a couple of times and I did get quite a few likes on my business page, but did I get any sales from it? No......Nothing. So personally, I do not recommend it.

Great! Another one to the list :)

Thanks for sharing your experience :)

You're welcome :-)

An informative post. Thank you for sharing.

You're welcome :)
Have a great weekend

Hi Kevin, thanks for the info. The heatmap analysis is very interesting and it's great to know. I have also tried Facebook ads and didn't really work for me. The "likes" didn't really work either, I find that a lot of people would only "unlike" it a while later...("Is my site so uninteresting?" lol)
Thanks again,
Ray

You're welcome, Ray :)

Yeah, FB ads are really not worth it. It seems nobody has resulted with them. I thought it was only me, but the comments here prove that I was right.

Hope it helps!

Oh good, it's good to know. Thankfully I've only spent a few dollars worth. I'll stay away from FB. Thanks Kevin!

Thanks, Kevin. This is excellent to know BEFORE I try it! Have a great weekend! Steve

You're welcome Steve! I hope it helps :)

Have a great weekend too!

Thanks for sharing Kevin :)

Welcome Jude! :)
