    I have this question, in facebook ads there are lot of coupon codes for new account holders, so they will be able to get $300 credits without spending money, but the problem is "for old accounts, finding a coupon code is a very hard thing".
    I think facebook ads is a scam, it's not good like Google adwords. :confused:
    Initially they are giving many free coupons to catch advertisers and making people to use facebook ads.

    what do you thing about Facebook ads?

    It worked for google and if your promoting the right site it'll work for facebook too. Yes they wont convert on every one that signs up but it will get them long term advertisers

    IMO,its a very common marketing plan tough.
    They use this to get more new advertiser.
    And for old account,they already enjoyed the bonus last time when they are new.

    It's called marketing. Facebook wants people to try advertising on its site so it offers incentives for new accounts.

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

    They don't have to give anything for free.
    They're doing it to get people to try Facebook ads, to see if it works for them.
    I think complaining because they giving away something for free is the most ridicilous, whiney, and frankly idiotic thing I've seen on digitalpoint. And I've seen some stupid things.
