    Deciding how to allocate advertising dollars is complex.  Is it better to use cost per impression or click.  Is it better to choose a dollar value for the click or let it be optimized?  Any advice to help a newcomer understand how to navigate this section of the ad process?  Thanks!

    Watch your cpc costs and next to the arrow you can suspend your ad

    also un-check “sponsored stories when creating your ad otherwise it will compete against itself driving up the cost

    I THINK ITS HARDER THAN  THAT ON THE  CHECKING….THERE  IS  SOME  VALUE OF  THE  ad being seen even tho  it wasnt  clicked upon….thats  the  theory of  lots of ads businesses  run  in  newspapers and  on tv……the  basic  idea  that  the potential customer   needs to  see them  several times  before   it  registers….

    so when we run a  targeted   regoinal ad for  our  store    i  have a hard time  deciding  which way to go…  it doesnt  seem  cut and dried to me….still confusing  ..

    It all depend on what type of products or service you are promoting, if what you are promoting is something that is popular and you know for sure that most people they will click when they see it than I suggest CPM because it is cheaper, in the other hand if what you are promoting is something new than I will go with the CPC otherwise you will be charged money just for appearing in somebody’s page without them clicking even on your add. as far as the dollar value my suggestion is to set a daily budget but don’t set a dollar for the CPC or CPM at least for few days.  and a link to your Facebook page will be a good idea next time because if I can see your FB page I might give you a better advice.

    also spend time on who you want to reach – it took some brainstorming but I have ads that reach out to almost 170,000,000 people but still stay within my vertical. My guess is FB ads work much like Adwords where you’re rewarded for relevancy ie higher click throughs reduce cpc/cpm costs

    Great advice @alihendaoui @mitch-rezman
    I also like running a split test on each option @mindy if you can.  Run the same ad copy and try CPM and try CPC and see which performs better.
