4. "Thanks to Advertising Age, we now

6. Our Approach: Webtrends
Performance Social Marketing
Four foundational best practices that make Facebook
advertising efficient enough to be profitable:
1. Use many highly targeted ads, not one big reach ad
2. Target ads to fans for conversion. They click 7X more
on ads than non-fans, which means cheaper CPC
3. Link ads to Facebook apps instead of websites
because they get at least 2X the conversion rate
4. Refresh creative regularly because CTR tends to peak
within 72 hours
