Adwords vs Facebook ads

[hiyatran]

I have some money I would like to invest for advertising my site. I know what adwords are. Personally, I'm thinking of going with facebook ads cause you can target your audience within the age group which I believe is the only difference between these 2.

Which one do you think is better?? thanks

To explain this difference one should look on how both sites proceed. Google is able to directly detect users' instant needs and respond to it by displaying the appropriate ads, while Facebook uses members profile to guess their needs and show them the ads. As a result FaceBook Ads seemed more profitable , because with same amount of money Facebook drove more traffic than Google Adwords .

For my profession, I have found google adwords to be more lucrative as I have gotten few clicks on facebook ads.

Facebook is much more of a social networking site, I believe google adwords has much more of an advantage over Facebook. It depends how well you use each of them, Facebook can be good for getting alot of direct attention to your site.

Google adwords is best .....internet market leader.

According to me, Both face book and Google ad words have their own sense of advertising and thus face book is a more beneficial than Google ad words as, its more frequently visited by users .... and lot of social interaction goes on there...

although it is true that facebook is getting more and more users and visitors, Google Adwords is definitely still better than on facebook ads... both are great, and I think it would be better if you will try doing both.

They work in subtly different ways. If I want to buy a TV I'm not going to be searching Facebook, I'm going to Google and searching for 'cheap tv sets' or something. In fact, in this scenario I don't know how Facebook would know I wanted a TV and so I'd never get ads for this requirement.

We run Adwords and did also try FB recently but found it very expesnive for clicks. Gave up!

To my opinion Google is better then Facebook. You can get a lot of clicks that are just waste of money from facebook, since people are just having fun there, not looking for something particular.

Thanks but I think you forgot to compare another fact that was CPM. Any idea of difference between those?
