    Yes, Facebook ads are a good way to drive targeted traffic to your site or products. I have used it and results were pretty good.

    facebook ads is a good way to drive traffic to ur website
    also you can make a page for your website on facebook and begin to make alot of fans and share with them your website links which they are intersted in
    it depends on your website and it's content

    Once yоu join Facebook,

    * uѕe thе search tools tо find friends and colleagues,
    * create a Facebook page fоr уоur business
    * lооk fоr colleagues аnd experts in уour industry to “friend” аnd kеeр them up to date оn whаt yоur business is dоing by
    * fill оut the “what you аre doing” part аnd send links tо articles оr interest or уour latest blog postings…. or
    * Add your blog tо уour Facebook account ѕо іt automatically posts new links.
    * Become “a fan” of companies yоu like… Everyone will ѕее thiѕ and yоu evеn get уоur namе аnd face mentioned in thе ad’s thаt pop up.

    No doubt facebook ads is a good way of driving traffic. But, lot of things depends upon your niche. If you believe, your target audience is active on social networking channels then go ahead... But if you are offering something like tuition service (for instance) you better go for organic listings or sponsored ads.

    Moreover, facebook ads are not keyword triggered so sometimes your ads are being displayed to irrelevant audience.

    Facebook helps a lot in driving ‘targeted traffic’ to your website.
    A few ways of getting traffic,
    1. Create an interesting profile using your Business name (prefer NOT to use your niche as your username)
    2. Publish quality wall posts (informative, engrossing and try to add fun angle into it)
    3. Join niche related groups and invite people to join your community
    4. Respond to comments and requests responsibly
    5. Handle criticism with good spirit (do not delete negative comments, in fact use them to strengthen your credibility)
    6. Facebook is very active channel (if you missed to respond on time, you may lose the game)
    7. Talk about your website and provide a website link wherever required (but do not throw it everywhere on your wall)
