Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Facebook Ads

Yes, Facebook ads get some exposure by people clicking on them. But the question is, do they get as much attention as others ads such as on Google AdWords, probably not.

The reason this is, well those people searching on Google are a little more serious and are actually looking to purchase something. People who happen to click on an ad on Facebook, just so happen to see the ad on the side of their page while chatting more than likely, and decide to click on the icon, but not necessarily looking to buy anything.

The way to judge if your ad is effective can’t be by the click rate, it needs to be based on profit. This doesn’t mean Facebook ads are not effective, it just means that it takes a little more work and effort to get your ad clicked on.

If you just so happen to be paying for advertising per click, then this shouldn’t be a problem for you. As long as money is being made, that’s all that matters. Some marketers review their ad campaigns by the number of people who click on their advertisement.

If you are selling a product then it will be easier to check your profits and compare that to the cost of advertising to see if your advertising has been effective for you.

If you are doubling the money you spent in advertising or getting just a little more than you spent, than you can say that it was effective. But it’s up to you to decide whether or not the money spent and made was worth the effort.

To improve the performance of your Facebook ad is to compare the results from different ads and use the ones that produce the highest profit.

In order to do this you need to run a few different ads and then review the results for each one to decide which is more effective.
