There is no question that social media marketing works. The question is how and if Facebook gets paid when a bunch of users "like" something.

Starbucks ($5-15) and Target ($30-80), ya, well that's a far cry from $25,000- $50,000 dollar cars, or, $250,000 + real estate deals. I have taken my own poll, checking among family members and friends, I found no one who could remember being enticed by any of the facebook ads. In fact, what was once a interesting method of communication, is now much avoided by most. In fact, they find it quite boring. Ah so, such is life, in the fast lane...

I run a facebook page to get a ground-level view on what everyone else sees. While facebook provides excellent analytics to measure reach, click thru, exposure, it does not translate to sales. Providing free content and getting a click through is very, very difficult.

As for above, the VCs that are invested in com score are also invested in facebook. Clearly there was some nudging as the data was interpreted "without bias".

GM was cluelessly doing banner ads they do not work anywhere.Companies with clues like (F) say it is one of their top marketing strategies because they can link positive cues to the purchase using a (FB) home page crating more of a social environment than simply a visual ad.
