It was posted on HN a while back. The gist is that there's a high chance that your ad was clicked by click farms, even though you bought it legitimately from facebook (in an effort to fool clickfarm detection, apparently).
What's even more interesting is that not only are you wasting money buying the ads, you also end up with less legitimate "likers" seeing your content because of the way facebook propagates new posts. So you're actually paying to get negative results.

- underdown 13y ago...Unless you are targeting your custom audience (past buyers/users) etc.
- wellboy 13y agoBut isn't it that no matter who you target and where, the click farms always steal the clicks?
- sanswork 13y agoOnly if they have accounts inside those verticals. The more specific you are the less likely this is to be the case.
- wellboy 13y agoBut aren't the click farms in every verticla, in every location?
- sanswork 13y agoNo, there isn't any need for that. There will of course be some spread but it isn't intentional or planned. They don't need a solid distribution of verticals and locations for what they offer to clients since they don't need to see their clients ads just click like on their pages.
