    Hi,

    I've been reading a lot of articles, forums, been hearing on YouTube as well: Facebook generates tons of fake clicks. It's what others are saying, not me...

    But I was surprised not to be able to generate ROI with Facebook Advertising, even after spending tons on a very good campaign.

    We got probably the poorest PPC traffic from Facebook. Far worse than any other PPC network. IT seemed as if it were a very good program for targetting, but now I'm not so sure about the clicks!

    Here are some materials about fake Facebook clicks:

    If they are really doing this, then their reputation is doomed!

    Any opinions, experiences?

    Stop advertising via Facebook. Most of the clicks are from bots. Just use a real network to advertise.

    I am personally not happy with my experience of advertising on face book. Yes, I believe that many of the clicks are fake. I prefer to focus on Twitter advertising since I have better results.

    Like which "real network"? I'd really like to hear... But don't say AdWords, I know that one. And most PPC programs are overwhelmed by advertisers...

    Getting sales through Facebook is never a good tactic. We've ran many campaigns and competitions and all it's really done is improve our brand awareness.... and to be honest that's really all Facebook is good for when it comes to business. Converting 'likes' into sales has been almost impossible. I'm currently looking at Banners Broker and various sites of this nature. It sounds almost too good to be true but making a profit AND increasing traffic is apparently what this website promises.
