I recently setup a Facebook marketing campaign part of which directs viewers to our Fbook page, https://www.facebook.com/atcomsystems on a pay-per-click basis (about $0.50 per click).

Within a week or two I have about 80 people who have clicked "Like" on our page. Problem is, they are literally ALL from from random people such as Babas BergeronJean-sébastien Bergeron who live nowhere close to here and like as many as 10,000 Facebook Pages frown

It almost seems as if Facebook is running a scam where they pay kids to click on and "Like" as many Fbook Ads as they can. Booo!

I betcha those are just robots clicking through your page in hopes you will like their page and see what they are trying to sell.

To tell you the truth, I just noticed the "Sponsored" ads on my FB page. I can't find any setting anywhere to get rid of these, so I "Hide" each and every one.

Sorry, but I consider it as spam. No offense Bill, but when I'm "socializing" on FB, I don't want to see ads from anyone.

In your situation, it wouldn't surprise me that Facebook is behind it. I don't trust them at all.

None taken Dave! I don't believe that Facebook advertising makes sense for businesses like us anyway, maybe works better for those who are selling retail products like Snapple or Old Dutch.

I just thought I'd give it a try since "Social Media Marketing" is all you hear in the advertising world these days...

Anything's worth a try. Just look at how many ways and how much money we've all tried to advertise with zip for results.

Are you saying that you pay $0.50 each time a viewer clicks through to your page?

This kind of business 'telecom' just isn't a good match for social networks..What works are business social in nature...like a bar or a lounge, a place where people meet socially. You'd be better off paying for clicks on Google only (not it's network) for people who are searching for your type of business...or hire someone to get you up in the natural results...ya know the free clicks.

I've been saying that for some time now and you're the first to agree with me.

I agree, social marketing is nearly useless to us. Google adwords provides results, and native SEO is even better.
