Facebook Ads

Facebook Ads The Internet is shifting from a place for finding information to the social hub of people’s lives. Last year alone, social networks and blogging together saw a growth rate of more than twice that of other leading Internet activities, including search and portal use, according to a recent Nielsen Co. report. This shift towards a social Web offers the opportunity for marketers to find customers before they search.

Tim, Its clear that users want FB to succeed and the opportunity for you to build up an alt to Goggle search and it's network is compelling for those wanting to get the word out to FB users who will find it relevant. You have the challenge of exploding users vs. Fib... Read More’s burn rate. I think you can pull it off if you move gently, carefully, honestly and like your users with a personal friendly tone. As far as positioning in the market my view it that you maybe defining FB, as we are not Goggle, which is valid to a degree, certainly google is ripe for backlash and Bing is making a valiant attempt to exploit that. We have started a modest FB page campaign for www.TrustedLASIKSurgeons.com in support and to get our feet wet with you. Best Regards

Anyone else notice that everytime they change their PPC add copy that the traffic from facebook's own admin people (to check that your add and site are okay) counts as a click and costs as much as 50 cents?

(I wasn't sure where else to post this comment)

I am concerned, puzzled and annoyed at the quality of the facebook ads that I see. Most of them are barely above the level of pyramid schemes and really don't belong on a site like Facebook.

I have two main questions:... Read More

1. Why doesn't Facebook do more to screen their ads

2. With a site as popular as Facebook, why can't they attract better quality ads.

Some examples that keep appearing on the right of my home page despite clicking the "thumbs down" icon many times:

1. Free MacBook Air (yeah, right)
2. We can show you all the people who have searched for you (technically impossible)
3. Jobs starting at $84 an hour (clearly a scam)

Facebook - I should not be forced to look at ads for obvious scams constantly nor should anyone else!

If you've advertised recently and targeted your Facebook Ads to cities, you might have noticed we expanded our city targeting to include many more cities in specific countries. Take the new filters for a spin. Let us know how you like the new targeting capability.

I would also like to add two Colleges to Lincoln, Nebraska and they are:
Southeast Community College
Lincoln School of Commerce

Is there anyway to add to the search engine? It would be helpful to be able to search for those majoring in a certain field. I think f/b would have better and more accurate information.

I was also charged for an additional days worth of clicks when I last advertised. It would be nice to be sent a free advertisement for input, or two. Thanks!

Facebook Ads Tim Kendall, Facebook's director of monetization talks with Mike McDonald of WebProNews about how Facebook can help you find your customers before they search.

When Facebook launched its advertising platform back in 2007, the company received a lot of criticism from users primarily regarding Beacon. Nearly a year and a half later, users have grown accustomed to the ads and webmasters and site owners are taking advantage of the tremendous opportunities. ...

If you do a simple Google search you will find most people do NOT get a decent ROI from Facebook Ads.

Great interview, thanks. But the real shock is that even Tim, the Director of Monetization,is off base about the best way for advertisers to use Facebook. The real success lies in building a community of fans with a public profile, such that you can continue to have a conversation, provide offers, sell, learn, etc. In the example above, I would ... Read Morehave recommended advertising the Tim’s Tents public profile on Facebook, not trying to sell people that are on FB. Social media is a different space from search and people are not predisposed to buying when they are on FB. They are, however, predisposed to “fanning” a Page they like in a category they’re interested in, i.e. hiking. If you build it (the public profile / community), sales will come.
