My page Read This Got This got 464 likes from merely 1 likes after running FB page likes promotion for 3 days on RM20.00 budget ~USD$5.00. The country and interest targeting was left to default option. Guess what, most of the page's fan are from Pakistan. 
Another page Radio senyap got 53 likes from 0 after running the same promotion period with the same budget but with targeting set to Malaysia only and interest selected to only related to the pages all about. The likes are mostly from Malaysia.
After several posting on both pages, I got the reach and engagement results and also link clicks count.Then I started wondering why the reach are great but engagement and clicks are not developing for Read This Got This. However Radio senyap seems to have an acceptable reach to engagement ratio.
Radio senyap has 53 likes with 247 engagement and 240 post clicks. Smaller likes but more clicks.
Looking into the pages insight, I realized that most of Read This Got This 's fan and reach are from Pakistan. So I tried to post something that looks a bit Pakistani to see if I could get more engagement but the result is still the same.
Different situation happened to Radio senyap, most of the pages 's fan and reach are from Malaysia. Once I posted a catchy title to the pages and it got 3k reach with 200++ link click. It was acceptable than 2K reach with 2 link click on Read This Got This.
At this rate, I wondered do all the likes are genuine, do they really want to like my pages or they just did it out of any basis. Do they really read my post? After watching a video in youtube as posted in Reddit /r/blogging subreddit I got my answer.
As the conclusion, if you created a new pages and want to look great in front of your friends, use FB ads with no targeting and interest set. If you want to have genuine and intended likes, use targeting and interest setting.
Let's watch the video by below:
If you are planning to use FB ads, plan carefully. Don't get too happy with many likes. Target your audience for more genuine and intended fans. Not those from click farm or random click workers.
So, Facebook advertising? Like or Lies? You have got your answer now..
