Free $100 Advertising Credit On Facebook

I read, over at the Red Fly Marketing Blog, that you can get a $100 advertising credit on Facebook courtesy of Visa. As part of a Visa promotion, they are offering Facebook users a $100 credit to try out the Facebook advertising platform. All you need to do is to add the Visa Business Network App and you get a coupon code and instruction on how to add the credit to your account.

Now I have never advertised on Facebook or MySpace before, but I would imagine that the conversions are pretty bad. I don’t think that many people would be looking at or clicking on any banner ads. People are just too engaged in their social networks. I know that I completely tune out all ads when I am on MySpace. But, anyways, this is a good chance to test the waters!

Thanks for the mention too!

I work with a guy, Steve Peron (imnotadoctor), who blogged about this and he also says that he partied with you in Ocean Beach, Ca before! Small world.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. I have subscribed to your blog too!

Thanks

Hmmm, I am not sure. I never thought of trying that. You might have to mask your IP in order for that to work but it seems like it would if you could anonymize your IP through a proxy or something!
