Affordable PPC Advertising on Facebook

Facebook offers PPC and CPM advertising. Your budget can be as low as a dollar a day and one cent per click.
It's my son's fault that I joined Facebook. He said it's the easiest way for him to keep up with people now that he's in college. I had sworn that I would never join Facebook. But now I'm glad I did.
There are also people like magazine publishers that are members. If you go to my profile, (look up Lily Strange) you will find John Guilfoil. He's the publisher of Blast Magazine. Of course you can also just look up John Guilfoil if you prefer.
Facebook isn't as "pretty" as MySpace. But it's actually pretty easy to use. Or probably is if you aren't a tech-tard like me. I'm still learning!

Affordable Advertising on...MySpace

MySpace has a new advertising program, and it's actually affordable. Unlike Google, and similar PPC programs, where you have to commit a certain amount a day to your ad budget, with MySpace, you outline a TOTAL budget that you can afford and you don't pay for impressions, only for actual clicks. When you're out of clicks, the ad stops, and you can start the campaign again when you can pay again. Makes a lot of sense when you're a struggling artist, author, entrepreneur, musician, or what have you.
The minimum campaign budget is $25, but even I can afford that. This will give me about 81 clicks before the campaign halts. I can start the campaign again at any time. I can design new campaigns too, using their Ad Designer. Or if you're really savvy, just create your own ads according to their size specifications and upload them.
MySpace does not accept porn, so unfortunately no help for you Adult affiliates. (Porn Baboon and friends have a helpful blog for adult affiliates here.) But for childish adults like me, this is a great form of affordable advertising for the "little" guy and gal.
