If you’ve visited my blog since Christmas, you may have notice a small banner ad on the right side for a book called “Facebook Social Ads - The New Adwords“. I put the small banner ad up on Dec. 31, 2007 but I haven’t written a word about it yet because I had not had the time to read the book fully until earlier today. I don’t mind selling something I haven’t read thoroughly, but I won’t write about it here and recommend it unless I have indeed read it. Well now I have read it and I’m kicking myself. This is seriously thought provoking book.

According to Facebook’s latest statistics,they are getting 100,000 new signups each and every day, and the site is expanding at a rate of 3% per week. How can those statistics be ignored by online marketers?

But it gets even better. At the end of 2007 Facebook had more than 60 million users and - read this carefully - 70 Billion page views. Facebook just recently passed Ebay in traffic and is rapidly closing in on Google’s traffic numbers.

Add this to the fact that Microsoft just recently paid 240 million US dollars for a 1.6% stake in Facebook (which values the company at around $15 billion in total) you clearly have a picture of a company and the website that is going places very quickly indeed. This isn’t something to be ignored.

The trouble has been that the Facebook crowd is a very quirky community that is different from anything else online and changing fast. Internet marketers who think they can just barrel in and make sales without understanding that community are very sadly (for them) mistaken. You can find them right now around the forums whining about how they don’t get any click throughs from Facebook

Facebook has a culture that you definitely must understand before you go over there and try to sell something. This book, “Facebook Social Ads - The New Adwords” is written by an insider who can save you from wasting a whole lot of time using methods that have no chance of working. I’m working on using this advice now and will let you know how things come out.

In the meantime, although the retail price of this book was $37 and I think it would be worth it at that price, I’m going to be offering here for the ridiculous price of $2.50. This is critical information that I think needs to get out. Not to mention the fact that now that I’m working on marketing over at Facebook, I hope it’ll help recruit a few new members there as well to spread the word further.
