Mort-lemur Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Seems to be working (I think) recording reach and clicks - but not purchases. Also the screenshot below is slightly concerning I have all the elements installed as per the posts above. Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥John W Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 @@frankl Thank you for your time and efforts on this. I just completed it, so we'll see how it works out. It's great that the google feed can be use. I just set up my feed for Google with 12 products as a test. I've been using Adwords since 2003 and it's just become so expensive for the ROI. @@Mort-lemur How's FB ads working for you so far? I'm not really a dog.

♥John W Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I thought I would post back in case it helps. I was able to drive my click cost down to something reasonable (18 cents average per click) and I don't have a minimum that i have to spend. With that said I haven't spent much in the last 30 days at about $31 and I got about $270 in sales from it. Left to the stock FB settings it wouldn't have been worth it but for low traffic at low cost it's not bad. I like to think these are sales I wouldn't have made without it. For me I can get some customers that will buy more over time in some cases regularly. I'm not really a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥John W Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 @@crimble crumble It's not the easiest thing to navigate and I can't always remember where I set something. The key for me was limiting my cpc bid. To answer your question if i understand it correctly. Basically, FB has so many people on it that you have crossover of members that have been on your site. FB says they have about 2 billion subscribers, so it's a numbers game. People that come to you from Google are also on FB. With the pixel code FB knows whos been on your site. I'm not really a dog.

frankl Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 @@crimble crumble The way I have this set up: Potential customer is logged in to Facebook. They then visit my site and either view a product page or add an item to cart on my site. They get pestered with ads for that product until a] they buy it or b] 10 days passes I only ever show ads in their feed or the right column (not on Instagram or audience network) and I use automatic bids I'm not sure if my low costs are due to the way I have things set up or because of a lack of competition (do Facebook bids work the same as Google Adwords? I don't know, but in my niche competition is very fierce so I imagine everyone in my niche is doing Facebook ads - I could be wrong), but for the past 7 days I have spent $13.57 and converted 8 customers for revenue of $1250. That's an excellent ROI for very little effort. osCommerce user since 2003! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
