Results from FB Ad

[L.A.]

Hello, So recently I decided to promote my Facebook Fan page with an Ad. Since I've never done this, I was curious what the results would be and thought to share them.

So placing the Ad was easy, a simple click to promote your page and it walks you through the process.

I set my Ad up on January 1, 2011 and put a stop date of January 16, 2011, since I didn't know how far my fifty dollars would go. I made fifty dollars the max for the term of this Ad, since this was a trial.

Before the Ad I had 56 fans. By 1-6-11 I had 64 fans and by 1-9-11 I had 69 fans. By 1-12-11, the fifty dollars was gone and my current total is 69.

The majority of clicks were done on the weekends with Saturday being the peak and Wednesday the low.

L.A., did you do CPC or CPM?

Hi Liz, Placing the Ad was simple. Since I'm new to this, I chose the CPC method. On average, I paid $1.02 per click and had 202,000 impressions and forty nine clicks, so perhaps next time I should try the CPM.

I found a great article on Fb Ads. http://www.allfacebook.com/cpm-vs-cpc...

If you give an Ad a try, let me know how it goes. When I try the other method, I'll post the results. :)

Hi, L.A. - Actually I believe CPC is the way to go--better bang for your buck. At least that's what I've been told. Thanks much for the article too!

[L.A.]

Yes, I just read that CPC was the better way to go. I came back here to put another article on I just found stating CPC was better.
