So what IS the general consensus on Facebook advertising?

Just a few weeks ago, all the threads in the AM subsection seemed to be cluttered with how Facebook screwed people and how ads are getting shitcanned left and right, and how in general facebook just sucks in all aspects.

Then about a week ago, I was following a thread (forgot which) and it was full of affiliates discussing how to spend MORE on facebook because it was doing so well for them, and basically how you'd have to be retarded to not be able to make a profit on FB advertising.

So please, all sarcastic remarks and false statements to prevent more affiliates from saturating a profitable revenue source aside, is Facebook worth the venture?

I'm currently working with adcenter and adwords, and honestly, the fucking google QS system and all that BS is killing me. I can't get a decent quality score for the life of me (all my keywords have a rank of 'OKAY'), so I'm thinking of ditching google for adcenter and maybe using facebook to run a different offer.
 


you won't get a general consensus my friend. the only way to know is first hand.
 
Everybody hates it, and some people are making money there. I think that's the closest thing to a concensus.

I posted a link for a FB $100 credit in a different thread. If you haven't seen it, here it is again:

Good luck bro.
 
sweet, thanks for the credit link!

why does everybody hate it? because the customer service sucks or because people are having difficulty making monies with it?

i dunno.. is it? i havent started advertising on it yet.

right now im looking for offers to promote on there, and the whole IQ, ringtone, etc stuff seems too played out..

thinking about doing some stuff related to debt.. maybe debt consolidation?
 
it is inconsistent. I've had some success but it was short lived. For example, I killed it for 2 days with a Dr Phil e-book offer until the offer got pulled.

I was doing great with a $1.60 e-mail submit over the weekend. Doing 200% profit on Sat and Sun and then Monday and Tuesday I barely broke even. I'll launch that one again on the weekend.

The good part is that its easy to target specific audiences. You can target by age, sex, interests. If you're selling Miami Vice T-shirts, you can target your ads to 40 year old women who are in Miami Vice groups.

On the other hand, its incredibly difficult to get ads approved. You can submit the same ad 20 times and it will get approved once and then denied 19 times...then approved again. the people approving the ads are ridiculous.

I've had success usinf CPM bidding...getting clicks for .03 or .04 cents. Other times I've had to pay .60 a click. Its all over the board.

try it. depending on what you're selling, you might do well.

If you keep a high CTR your bids will drop and you can profit...just like google.
 
From what I've heard FB users don't pull out their Credit Card. Cloaking is the only way to tolerate FB (I have a really great script I'll let you use for fairly cheap). Heard a rep say using keywords is what separates the killer campaigns and the duds.
