Thread: How to put ads on a facebook fan page?

Facebook is a very popular and proven place to get traffic. Till the day am getting good number of hits from the fan pages to my site. One of my Pages in facebook has just crossed a thousand fans. [I did a hard job and spent lots of money for achieving this]

Can anybody tell how to put ads on facebook fan pages? Any idea. is it simple wall posts or links? Or else what?

Thanks in advance.

Facebook has a PPC advertising program. In order to post ads on fan pages, you need to sign up with the Facebook program. There is an application and selection process. There is also no guarantee your ads will appear on your fan page, although you might be able to work something out with the Facebook advertising team. Here is the link:

Hi friend, you are mistaken. I was talking about how to post ads from the guys who shows interest to put their ads on the fanpage of mine.

Some of my friends has showed interest to put up their website's ad on my fanpage as the number of fans crossed 1000. For solving this issue only I asked that question.

Thanks for the reply though.

Bogart is not mistaken.

Be it third party or direct marketing, all advertisers have to form an agreement with Facebook. Facebook has become stringent regarding quality control, especially since third party apps tend to have their own advertisers. Regardless, all ads have to adhere to Facebook terms of service.

Since you are talking about posting direct ads and not a third party application with ads, bogart's answer is correct. You or your advertiser will need to apply to the Facebook ads program.

I did not mean that the information you were telling is wrong. But I was just telling you understood my thread in the wrong way.

yeah m42, you are right as you said in their TOS its shown that all the ads should be followed Certain specifications and FB is very strict on that.

But still am confused. I have been seeing many threads and posts in other forums asking others to put ads on their facebook fan pages. Is this the one and only way to put the ads?

So how it will be benefit ful to me? am a bit more confused.

Have you considered PM'ing those people to find out how they did it? Did they just post to threads in the fan pages?

The benefit: You are still targeting your fans base.

Per bogarts response earlier, advertisers enrolled in the Facebook program are capable of purchasing targeted ad space. As of July 15th, Facebook has implemented filters that allow advertisers to target users who are connected to specific pages, events, groups, or applications.

Your ads will target the users not the fan page. Hence, the statement that there are no guarantees the ads will appear on your page.

There are also no guarantees:

1. Other people's ads will not appear on your page.
2. Your ads won't appear on other pages frequented by the people who connect to your page --the people you will likely be targeting if you take this route.

hi,

One of the face book page of mine is having more than 1000 fans. It is very popular and am getting some good traffic from the same page to my websites. I got this by placing wall posts and by sending updates with link to my website to the fans of the page.

Some of the friends who are having websites showed interest in my facebook fan page and asked me whether am ready to show/put their ads on my facebook fan page.

I don't know how to put their ads on my facebook page except doing wall posts of them. Please give good advice.

I'm a little confused here.

hendricus, which statement more accurately describes your goal:

1. I have a Facebook page and I want to sell ads on it
2. I have a product or service and I want to promote it by advertising on Facebook

Does Facebook allow you to monetize your profile pages by selling ads on them?
