Again another week of disappointment with Facebook Ad’s. At this point I think I have tried everything that I can to get converts. It’s come to the point I can not even give anything away for free on Facebook. Since Facebooks Ad’s are so new, I am not sure what else to change. The users on Facebook who are doing well are not sharing too many secrets. If any one has some tips to share please leave a comment. It would be very interesting to see how some of you might be doing with Facebook.

So far I have not had to much sucess with Facebook Ad’s. I get clicks, but no converts. There has only been one campaign that I had running before Christmas that did convert. Many affiliate say you need to try different landing pages in order to test properly. That idea in mind I made a few changes and will be working on some other ideas to increase conversion rates. With paid traffic you can not spend to much time making mistakes you need to figure out quickly what work and what does not. The Facebook Ad system does have promise, but it is difficult to get your ad’s approved. The kids that work at Facebook really make it difficult to get an ad running. With time I figure they will get their act together in the meantime online marketers need to do their best to get customer to buy and not just click.
