What About Facebook Ads?
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:

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.
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!
