    When you are invited to interview with a firm, ask about the position that they want to interview you for. Try not to interview for jobs for which you are not qualified. They may saw a Director's position or a programmer's role. Ask then, if they can tell you more about the role and responsibilities of the position and what they are looking for in the way of a background or experience. If you detect a "red flag" or something that gives you reason to feel like there was mistake made, it is useful to say what your actual experience was in the area that and confirm that it is adequate.

    I know Facebook has more growth in traffic as we compare it to Google but still adwords advertisement is more beneficial than facebook. It's because most of the people at facebook are only for entertainment and they're no longer interested to buy your products and they don't care what you marketing or not. For a successful ad listing I will always go for adwords....

    I like Facebook Ads more.. I agree that more people run more successful ads with Google but facebook is cheaper and much more options to narrow down your potential customers.

    Once you understood Adwords then you can earn long lasting income from it.

    Facebook hands down. Even though they're following Google's lead with all the "looking to provide a high quality user experience" blabbering there's still WAY more money to make on there than on Adwords. The best features they provide is the ability to target your audience by demographics (age, sex, location, interests) which becomes a hell of a cash factory once you've added that skillset to your marketing arsenal.

    Google just doesn't like affiliates and keeps on banning and slapping everyone without any real reason and the thing is, yes you can make money on Google. But why waste valuable time in that environment of theirs and why the hassle when you can go on places like Facebook, test offers that work and scale them to earn you tens of thousands of dollars a day (yes that's doable) and keep on growing from there to the fullest potential of your campaign?

    The best way to make real money online is by targeting your audience by demographics.

    Try actually selling a weight loss offer to someone looking for a weight loss offer. What's the odd your ad, landing page and the product you're selling will be the one they're looking for? Not too many. What's the odd that out of the 54 other products yours will be the one?

    You can certainly make money marketing on places like Adwords which ONLY permit you to display ads relevent to what the user is searching for but why keep on doing it this way when there's another way that's a million times better?

    If you're promoting a weight loss offer the worst place to promote it would be on weight loss sites. Why? Because the person on that site will already be bombarded by a bunch of them and they're most likely to just be reading up information and not really in the right mindset to spend money on something.

    Now promote that same weight loss offer on a dating site and suddenly you're making a bunch of money. Why? Because people (women especially) on dating sites will likely want to be attractive and have a nice appearance so when a weight loss offer (just pay shipping) pops up on their screen while they're browsing on there they're more likely to act on it and that's the real way to market things, by demographics.

    So yeah, there's no question about it. Get on the Facebook train as soon as you can.

    It is not possible to give you an answer to your vague question. It all depends on your product/service and your target audience. Sometimes Yahoo is better than Google PPC, sometimes other way around, sometimes FB is better etc etc etc....

    Facebook Ads is better for targeting with there demographic choices although it's a social site, Adwords is better for targeting buyers even at a higher price.

    Cheaper is Facebook.
    More practical is Adwords.
    I would recommend Adwords though, but it will take you some time to understand how it all works. Once you do - you will be able to squeeze a lot of clicks out of it,

    There are too many fraud clicks in AdWords. I think that after 2-3 years FaceBook Ads will be the better choice.
