Not only that, besides the moustache pic, but I never do CPM until testing CPC's CTR first. If you can get a .08 to .10 CTR then switch over to CPM as you'll get cheaper clicks. CPM is retarded with a low CTR.

Captain Obvious maybe, or maybe not. ;)

Any tips on figuring out what CPM cost you're going to be looking at for sustained impressions is?

FrankE I ask you please don't make grand sweeping statements like that. Because FB users do pull out their CC's for the right offer. And by someone reading they don't prohibits them from trying things that might work. As I said above most pps don't work. But their is somethings that do. PPL is easier.

Well I should of said from my experience I haven't had any success in PPS campaigns and tried quite a few. Even with ones I've seen on FB for awhile like the belly fat offer. But I've had success with a couple of PPL campaigns. Didn't mean to generalize, my bad.

I mean honestly how are you feeling about your Facebook skills right now, this_web? Think you're good at this stuff? You just blew through $200, so you're probably now feeling like this may not be for you huh? Stop and imagine that was your own $200. Probably feels even worse doesn't it? If I had a report I that would tell you a step by step tutorial exactly how to make money with Facebook... would you buy it?

Haha well I don't have one just wanted you to feel what it's like to have that pain and then me offering up the answer. Did you feel it?

That would be a tough product to push on Facebook users. Most Facebook users won't buy anything. When people are on Facebook, they're kind of in a frivolous mindset, (playing with vampire or poo flinging applications) so you need a frivolous campaign to make any money.

That said, if you ever wanted to try it again, definitely play with targeting. Hit just males 25+, maybe even 30+. You could also try hitting booze related keywords. It would make your target audience really small, but you'd also weed out lots of useless clicks.

Actually that was the intent in the first place. For the crowd I was targeting (males 21+, keywords: beer, liquor, homebrewing, college, etc.), I figured it would be perfect product for someone in a fun, social, "frivolous mindset".

Maybe the execution was just poor. I had set it at 75 cents and experienced a 66 cents avg CPC. I suppose I could have started a lot lower, but I guess I was following Adwords advice... you know set your bid high so CLR is high which will lead to lower CPC. Probably a rookie move. Also noteworthy: I was direct linking.

yeah i totally agree with that having just learned the hard way. when i got started a few months ago i read that same statement somewhere else and it made me not try a bunch of offers, or more importantly not research them and make my own decision. later i found out people were banking hard in these niches and by the time i found out i'd missed the boat and the rules had changed.

anyway lesson learned my mind is now a lot more open, i act on my research now not blog/forum hearsay and its a lot more profitable.
