To whom it may concern:
Thanks for reading this help request, I really appreciate it!
Over the course of the last week, I tossed a few dollars to Facebook to create a small ad campaign to increase the number of Facebook "Likes" my blog has. Success! We went from 40 Likes (pretty much coming from people I knew personally) to 221 at current count.
Strangely, though, this hasn't translated into page views on my blog (downshiftautos.com, but the way). I found it odd that 200 people would "Like" something they had never seen before without first checking what Downshift Autos was, not to mention the thousands of people that saw the add but didn't click the "Like" button.
I had a friend click on a couple of links on the Facebook page to lead to my blog, but the clicks were not registered as page views, nor did I receive any Facebook referral hits. Is this just a problem with my page, or Facebook in general? I need to make sure that the money I spend translates into real page views, whether through Facebook, Twitter, or WordPress WordAds.
Thank you!
