facebook are the best place if you want to target visitors. so try advertising in facebook, it is better than google.

From an advertiser's point of view, instead of noobs giving assumptions, it is the bottom of the barrel. Many are there to have fun, waste time, and very few will buy. Then you have the spam factor. In addition, it will take many, many hours to get others to trust you, get use to you, just to make that one or two sales, so you would be making far less money than what a minimum-paid worker would get. But, try it anyway, to see for yourself.
copper, what do you mean by spam factor? e.g. if i am a member of a group (or even if i start one) that has say, 1,000 members, is sending them a note saying check out www dot whatever considered spam? what about a wall post?
The CTR (at least in my experience) is horrible. Maybe 0.10% if you're lucky. The traffic didn't convert very well for me either and it was quite targeted. Probably worth a test and it might work for some products, but it didn't work for me.
Spam factor, meaning that you may be tagged as a spammer. If you have a list of members you correspond with, share things with, talk about this and that with, like you would with your friends, you have to do this for several weeks of continious mail exchange before you can even think about trying to show them something that involves a sale. This is why it can take hours to make even 1 sale, if you make a sale at all. But, if you go there all the time anyway, you might as well do it. You have nothing to lose. I would focus on fun, cheap things, like music download, fun screensavers, cell phone accessories like cool ring tones....
From the first post it seemed to me like he meant actually advertising on Facebook - like buying banner ads, rather than spamming "friends"
I just recently created a Facebook page for my automotive blog. All I want is to attract visitors to my blog - is Facebook good for that?
In my experience, my time has been better invested elsewhere, such as writing articles or something similar. You have to walk on eggshells on social networks so you don't get slapped for SPAM, and unless your target market is predominately 13-17 year old teenagers, you probably won't see much benefit
Its good for barand awareness and getting your company name out there, good point by 'affiliate-toolbars' too, you are much better concentrating your efforts on articles or similar as if you can get a few articles distributed it will be worth while and more time effective than facebook.
Targeting people by their listed interests sound good but I think comparatively the conversion rate should be on higher side when you target people searching for specific products.
I ran a couple campaigns on Facebook and found it to be less than stellar at best. The same amount of cash in an Adwords campaign will certainly outperform Facebook IMHO.
If you are talking about the PPC feature, a lot of people have experienced loss or just break even when coupling the ads with CPA offers.
