Web site promotion on Facebook sucks

Hiz,

Might be this is my experience that if you Advertise your site on Social Networks like Facebook, you'll not get good response. For example

Total Ad Impression for comp # 1 : 211,444 & Outcome : 232 Clicks
Total Ad Impression for comp # 2 : 174,994 & Outcome : 201 Clicks

Anyone agree with me??? I believe Google Adowrds ROCKS

What you say??

Dead^Man!

 

I think it depends on your niche for facebook ads. I haven't tested it out myself, but I only read bad reviews. Adwords not being that great either, but better then facebook ads.

 

When it comes to Facebook it totally depends on your niche. Facebook will do really well with a few niches, but not so well with most other niches. For those, you're best to just stick with Adwords.

 

I think, It's depends on many thing like your ads setting and appearance, your targeted ads viewers, your niche, etc.
I've done facebook ads few years ago for online shopping and it's can generate more sales.

 

Yes, might be the same reasons you mentioned!

 

Your impression is all right, its your CTR that's very low, maybe wrong demographic? not catchy ads? try split testing your ad

 

I think it's true. People visit social networks for getting and sharing info. with their friends, colleagues, or someone else that they would like to be in touch with. Attention here: they are looking for PEOPLE, not products or services. They may happened to see some interesting ads and click to check out, but it is very likely that they just have ZERO attention to purchase. After all, with search engines in hands and in heads for so many years, how many people will log into FB when actually looking for something to buy?

 

Google adwords is boss, but facebook is not a bad one as well. In Facebook, the amount of click is much better for my ads than your statistics. I am not sure, may be your ad design or niche target was not proper.

 

Unless you get real people with attractive skill to recommend your product/service to their friends via Facebook, then Facebook almost useless.
People really click your ads if it's interesting.
I can help you with copywriting if you want to.
And can help designing your ad too.

Be sure to target very specific people in Facebook then money will pour in.

 

Nice tips.... thanks ...

 

Facebook Ads work great for me. You have to test each ads and track every week how they are doing. Then based on the weekly results? You have to tweak them a little bit and change some stuff like the picture and maybe add a different description. Eliminate those that are doing good and keep those that are getting more clicks. But never just leave them a whole month without tweaking them around. Once you double those Clicks that you got, make sure to direct people that click on your Ad to an unbelievable Free Gift, for those who Opt-In. This is when you have to Over Deliver!. You will get a whole lot of Leads and your Email List will get bigger. Testing and Tweaking is the key for Facebook Ads.

 

you should mustly go with google adwords because adword give you more clicks than facebook.

1. Large audience and user base when compared to Bing
2. Multiple channels of advertising (i.e. search, display, banners, etc.)
3. Target multiple media (pc, tablets, mobile, video, etc.)
4. Advanced targeting tools for geographic, device, time of day, etc.
5. Built-in conversion and revenue tracking code
6. Includes additional extensions (i.e. location-based, site links, mobile click-to-call, etc.) to improve click-through-rate

 

It all depends on your niche, so don't say it sucks...

 

It only sucks because you are not knowledgeable enough to make it work the way you want it to. How do you have your timeline created, are you offering good information when you advertise or are you only selling. Are you creating a list for future marketing. You need to do more research. Facebook has been redesigned for business marketing, you just need to learn how to market on Facebook. Much success.

 

We had good experienced with Facebook promotion. If you are expert and has good plan to get more like country, city , age wise. so you can success. other wise will get bad experience as yet.

 

It depents on a lot of factors so say Adwords is better. Only think i can currently see is that your CTR is really low. You should try the same as people do with adsense (try some different stuff to get more CTR out of your ads).

 

Google Adwords will get you more clicks yes! but they are a bunch of bad clicks of people that have nothing to do with your Niche Market. Facebook Ads you can control who see's your ads and the quality of the clicks are a lot better. So your Click Through rate is a lot better. I dont know why people only care about getting clicks even if they suck?? Its not about the clicks people! Its all about what kind of people are clicking your ads.
