@tastybit In fact, the irony of fake FB Pages vs fake FB a/c is only matched by FB Flyers with breasts vs. FB ban on breastfeeding pictures. (Twitter)

Quick Summary: Facebook serves desi social ad on my News Feed without cluttering it, but still needs to perfect the targeting.
- X - X - X -
I wonder what prompted this ‘Love Bollywood’ social ad to show up in my Facebook News Feed, except that I’m part of the India network. Clearly, Facebook is still perfecting the targeting for these ads. What Facebook has perfected already is the ability to serve up to two ads on the same page without compromising on the user interaction.
Facebook Social Ads allow your businesses to become part of people’s daily conversations. Ads can be displayed in the left hand Ad Space — visible to users as they browse Facebook to connect with their friends — as well as in the context of News Feed — attached to relevant social stories. (Facebook Social Ads)
I clicked on the ad out of curiosity — the ad points to a Bollywood focused website and not to a Facebook Page. I even signed up on the website to check if they have enabled Facebook Beacon.

Quick Summary: Find out if Digital Inspiration’s Facebook Flyer experiment worked.
- X - X - X -
Digital Inspiration is now advertising on Facebook. Amit’s Facebook flyer just showed up on my Facebook profile page and for a moment, I thought Amit had created a Facebook Page. However, it turned out the the flyer linked directly to Amit’s website.
It will be great to chat with Amit on what kind of traffic he is getting from the flyers. Amit?
Update: Amit just pointed me to his Facebook Flyer experiment post –
Though the above advertising campaigns on Facebook were run for a very short period, they do indicate that the click through rates for ads appearing on Facebook can be extremely low.
