Quite interesting top comment on Reddit thread http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/xel55/startup_claims_80_of_its_facebook_ad_clicks_are/ http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/xel55/startup_cl... "I can confirm this. I used Facebook to advertise my page and went from ~2000 fans to over 6000 within several months. Awesome, right? Wrong. I thought it was weird that the new fans would never, EVER interact with the pages. So I started stalking their profiles. Guess what? Bots/hijacked accounts/fake accounts. How do I know? Many of them have NO friends. Then I noticed something really scary...repeats. Actual pictures showing up more than once for new likes. Very, very few of the accounts were from the USA. I started casually messaging the accounts that looked suspicious. Not a single one with no friends responded. Out the ones that looked legitimate (although with a list of likes that is in the thousands), only a handful replied, and 100% of those people confirmed they found my page through affiliated sites, and not through Facebook itself. I ended the ad program recently and the bots stopped. tl;dr: Do not, under any circumstance, advertise with Facebook. They will feed you fake likes. If you want fake likes, use a site like fiverr to generate them, it's way cheaper and yields identical results."
