Facebook Ads Can Now Be Optimized To Drive Any On-Facebook Action, Such As In-App Purchases, Shares, Offer Claims
Marketers don't actually want clicks, they want the downstream conversions and the return on investment that follow. So today Facebook begins allowing advertisers using its API to ask it to show their ads to people most likely to take any specific post-click action on the social network, such as sharing a brand's content to the news feed, buying virtual goods in their apps, or redeeming one of the new Facebook Offers at a local brick-and-mortar store. Previously Facebook's Ads API and self-serve tool only permitted optimization for clicks, Page Likes, app installs, and check-ins. Data on conversions 1, 7, or 28 days after a click will now appear in the Ads Manager.Rather than having to deduce what demographics are most likely to convert, and being unable to tell if those conversions came straight from ads, today's improvements give advertisers more transparency, and will make it easier for a much wider range of businesses to earn money from Facebook marketing.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/HmrJ9L6cK2k/
