Its obvious that Facebook ads don't work. How often you see a relevant Ad in Facebook? Almost never. So, advertisers show interesting images, but when you click on that image, it is some non-sense website. Facebook has some private information about the user, other than that FB has no clue what is my mood or what I am looking for. Its no wonder GM pulled out of Facebook.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoI click on Facebook ads FAR more often than I click on Google ads. Actually, I don't remember the last time I clicked on a Google ad. Whereas Facebook shows me things I'm interested in all the time. Anecdotal, but that seems to be what we're doing in this thread.
- ppod 14y agoThis is really not my experience. My facebook ads are so relevant that they almost seem like a useful service at times. It knows a few of the things I'm interested in thanks to who I'm friends with or pages i've liked or whatever - so I see ads for RC planes, chess software, local restaurants... the ads seem both more relevant and less spammy than my google ads.
- snambi 14y agoThis is interesting. I only "liked" friend posts or pictures. May if I "like" more direct things like restaurants, brands, facebook may be able to provide me a better "ad" experience. But, its good to know that it works for some people.
- natrius 14y agoMost of my ads are software companies like Asana advertising jobs. Seems well-targeted to me.
- mpeg 14y agoI work in facebook advertising and I'm still often surprised at the quality of some ads: recruiter ads targeted explicitly at my job title, ads from brands that want to drive engagement using facebook questions, etc.
