Facebook Right-Hand Column Ads Aren’t Dead Yet! Here’s Why

June 4, 2014 6 Comments Nikita Patel

Listen up, advertisers! The age of the right-hand column ad isn’t over just yet. While you may be one of the many advertisers giving up on right-hand column ads as their performances are constantly declining (even though their prices are cheaper), certain elements are shifting — and that may be a good thing.

Facebook Right Column Ads

First, a little background: While right-hand column ads have recently been trumped by News Feed ads, Facebook is unveiling some changes, specifically in the design department. In a recent blog post, Facebook unveiled a revamped look that will make right-hand column ads more consistent with ads that appear in the News Feed. In addition, they will be larger in size and use the same proportions as desktop News Feed ads.

Why you should care about Price/Market Fit early on (a.k.a. Customer Development 101)

May 29, 2014 4 Comments Armando Biondi

price market fit post

Lots of startups fail. Yeah, what a surprise. What may actually surprise you is that very often it’s not because of the inability of the founders to put together some sort of minimum viable product, or to gain some initial market validation, but rather because they don’t know what to do with it. I was recently asked for some help and support from some fellow founders’ friends, and what surprised me is that every single one of them managed to get some level to product/market fit.

The Top 5 Facebook Advertising Mistakes You’re Making (And How to Fix Them)

April 29, 2014 1 Comment Nikita Patel

Depending on your strategy, advertising on Facebook can be a huge blessing or a huge mistake. Since it’s one of the top websites in the world, Facebook can give you access to your target audience in a streamlined fashion. However, if you don’t go through the right steps to create quality ads, you’re better off forgoing the tactic altogether.

Currently, there are about one million global active advertisers on Facebook. While you may think this means you have tough competition, not advertising on Facebook is similar to not having a website or failing to have a social media presence: many users expect it and make buying decisions because of it.

Facebook Ads don’t suck. But bashing them is great for marketing!

April 10, 2014 22 Comments Massimo Chieruzzi

Enough. For the third week in a row I’ve just spent 2 hours on Hacker News commenting on the latest first-page post bashing Facebook Ads.

Facebook Ads Fake Clicks

Don’t be sorry for the poor guy defrauded by Facebook, however. He’ll do just great. He spent $50 on Facebook Ads, got 61 clicks tracked by Google Analytics vs 92 paid to Facebook, wrote a post about it and probably received thousands of visits from Hacker News, GrowthHackers and probably other communities where bashing Facebook Ads click frauds is becoming trendy.

Should Social Media and SEO Go Hand in Hand?

March 31, 2014 1 Comment Nikita Patel

social media seoIn your business, you probably use some form of social media, from Facebook to Twitter, Pinterest to Instagram. You may have found lots of success, such as improving your follower count or engaging with members of your audience. While these social media platforms and tactics can shape and maintain a great brand image, there’s another factor you may not have considered — and it’s called search engine optimization (SEO).

According to Moz, SEO is the “practice of improving and promoting a website in order to increase the number of visitors the site receives from search engines.” There are lots of facets of SEO, including the actual written word in a blog post to the way people link back to your website. Ultimately, SEO is making sure your company’s site is formulated in such a way that a search engine can “crawl” and find the right content for the user.

How to Utilize Press Releases in the Social Media Age

March 27, 2014 Leave a Comment Nikita Patel

prweb

If you’ve ever worked in public relations or any form of marketing, you’ve probably had to draft a press release or two. It’s easy to see why: press releases have traditionally been the fastest way to get your message across and attract attention, whether you have a cutting-edge product or a brand new CEO.

However, in the age of social media where we obtain information as it happens, is there really a need for the release? If there isn’t, what’s the best way to transmit information to the media, your stakeholders, and even consumers in a way which preserves quality and accuracy?

There’s definitely a debate about the need for press releases. However, despite our reliance on Twitter, Facebook, and other forms of new media, the press release remains one of the optimal ways to get your message out. You just need to change the way you approach the press release — and that starts with utilizing social media.
