Facebook ads. They are really way out there. How does Facebook think I have children? Or I’m plus sized? Or really, how do they think ANYTHING about me? Why do the ads sometimes feel so irrelevant and poorly targeted? This can be answered by visiting the Ad Preferences page. Here you will see the hundreds […]

I recently ran an experiment. I had a blog post here. I posted it to my Facebook page. And I wanted to try “boosting” it so more people would see that Facebook post (and hopefully click it to see the blog post). Seems simple, right? For a flat fee, Facebook will offer to push your […]

I guess the mobile app is missing one line of code saying if the person who placed the ad matches the selected target audience, don’t show the ad to the advertiser. I closed the campaign. Ain’t got time for that. Will focus on Google Adwords, which were doing really well.
