Oh yeah they’re CTR is terrible, they could be making so much more money if they allowed larger ads. Although it is low, the amount of clicks you can get are still incredible in such a short time. Facebook shows literally millions of ad impressions every minute and if your bid/ad is decent you won’t have much trouble getting a ton of clicks very quickly.

When testing things out just set your daily budget low. 10-20 bucks is a good start to see if something converts.
I gave up on Facebook. Some guys got it but I just couldn’t Myspace accepts ads easier but so far it’s been worthless to me.
