I have been testing this since around 12:30 est and chatting with Rose as I get my results - so far so good. My bid is at .50 - i have over 340k exposures with 37 clicks - 14 Converted. This is currently beating my adwords and yahoo accounts hands down. 

Setup is simple and reporting is **REAL TIME**.

i have a feeling its not going to be this affordable that long - ride the wave while you can.

He didn't mention that his bid is at .50 at Facebook and he is getting traffic and awesome LEAD  conversions and his bids at Google are $6-7 a click with poor results. I am having many others open accounts there to find out what the traffic and conversion rates look like.

I agree that the time to do it is now while they'll be providing excellent results. Plan to move on when the operant conditioning kicks in and they Google-ize. (See http://flyingrose.stumbleupon.com/review/14083145/ for an explanation.)

Streko gets the credit for telling me Facebook Ads were working for him. NowSourcing gets the credit for sending me that particular article when I shared Streko's news with him. I just called Durk Price to let him know about this. He is the sharpest Affiliate Marketer I've ever come across. He is to affiliate programs what I am to AdWords.

Facebook just gave us the most awesome free market research tool since Google AdWords. Any small business can now find out the demographics of their buyers. The sharp affiliates Durk works with will jump on that so fast it will make all of our heads spin. They can then use that information to determine what other sites are the best fit for each advertiser.

I see affiliates as the very best way to grow a business. You only pay if they get results. The sharper they are and the more they increase their skills the more money they can make. That is such an elegant use of time and effort. Instead of being beholden to search engines and ppc programs businesses will focus on actual Buyers who come from many sources. That will create businesses that are very stable and grow predictably.
