On: Ask HN: What would you do with $20000 USD for your startup?

[ig1]

Not true, I ran a Facebook campaign targeting developers and my conversion rates were inline with what you would see with other groups.

What kind of of CTR were you getting?

[ig1 → anon6567]

(from memory so these figures aren't precise but right order of magnitude)

Between 0.01 - 0.1 depending on the target. Highest CTR was with Perl developers.

[anon6567 → ig1]

I was getting around .019% - .03%. Which I thought was awful. Around a dollar a click and targeting all the major programming languages.

[ig1 → anon6567]

Average for FB is around 0.04%. I was paying around 5-10 cents a click. Were you paying CPC ? - if you optimize for CTR I find buying CPM more effective.

[anon6567 → ig1]

Yeah CPC.

Highest CTR was with Perl developers? Are you sure you advertised on Facebook and not Usenet? ;).
