Tried Facebook ads for business for about Three (3) and after gaining 9000 followers mainly from Turkisthan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and some other countries I can’t remember how to spell, countries which I have no clue existed and could have optimised my campaign to reach those territories. Facebook for Ads algorithm raked havoc on my campaign and sent me the traffic it believed should work best for me which the traffic didn’t.
Am lucky if I post an update to my Fan page and of the 9000 followers I would ever be so lucky to attract any engagement whatsoever from 20 of that fanbase.
It’s ridiculous, mind you am of the belief that their algorithm was at it’s infancy at the time and would have been prone to numerous bugs that needed fixing but would Facebook admit it? They haven’t up to now even after I send their support line a vigorously worded letter of my discontent with their service so I no longer promote with Facebook Ads anymore as it sucks. You’ll get non engaging traffic to your Fan page from low tiered countries at a cheap cost per click or low CPM but highly priced ads being serviced from the top tier countries which cause your $5000 to go quickly with the same non engaging results from annoyed users who are already ad blinded and too numerous ads running inside their timeline and there are the users who will click on your ad out of spite know quite well you are paying for the click.
Hundreds of Millions of Facebook users worldwide look at ad serving in their timeline with morbid resentment as it interrupts their “flow” when their in that moment getting ready to comment on some silly pet video or react to some fake news trending around a celebrity.
It’s useless to be using Facebook from a meaningful business perspective as Facebook is not for business, it’s now the go to source for grandma to showcase her knitting and to post animated GIF images of her dentures snapping in a glass of cool cucumber water – anyone interested in buying some bulk cucumber juice?

Facebook should at least reward advertisers with increased organic reach.

While I understand you feelings, I find it hilarious. No fears, it is an age thing. Your generations always thinks they can find a way to get something for nothing. In my day it was cable TV and Net flex. It my parents day is was overload commercials. You have to realize that nothing is free! You gotta pay the piper! Every generation has a different piper.

This is exactly why things like SEO trump everything.

If people really want what you have they are almost always sure to Google it or use another search engine. While you can’t always be assured you’ll be on page one, it’ll at least do you a lot better to be out there on something other than Facebook or another social media site.

It’s all about the content and your effectiveness at marketing yourself. If you’re putting stuff in the promotions folder you’re likely not that interested in it, anyway. The same psychology is likely going on with others who do that, too.
