I've played with FB ads quite a bit.  Here is a promoted post I did recently for a coming soon listing.

Your FB ad is very good. There is a time for branding and a time not to brand on FB ads. Have you A/B tested this ad - with branding against no branding?

Since this is still trending on the front page of AR, I thought I would add a comment.

I just completed a $50 sponsored ad on Facebook looking for farm ground for a buyer. First FB ad I have ever done.

776 friends or contacts viewed the message and photo "organically" while 1,973 views were non-friends who came through the paid ad.

26 people shared the post. 

1,973 clicked on the sponsored post.  While I am not sure what that means exactly...the target audience was Nebraska.  

Overall, I am pleased and am still trying to find land as I am searching for a needle in a haystack on what I need...3 quarters of pasture ground in a specific area within 100 miles of Geneva, Nebraska. 

I still need to understand how to use FB better...and will try it again.
