Facebook ......... It's day will pass fortunately.

 

Pretty similar to what the former CEO of Kodak said about digital cameras :lol::)

I "do" facebook, but I rather not advertise to the world, or my professional life that i hold firearms. Of the people that do know me via fb, few know I shoot, but the ones do, are also shooters.

 

It's fantastic that the UKV have a fb page, but for now, i can't press "like"....

For the record, I don't particularly like Facebook either, only using it for a few specific purposes. However it is very easy to edit the privacy of your 'Likes', controlling who can see them. See here:

I 'Liked' the UKV page a while ago, confident that I could do so without messing up my privacy.

Happy to do what BD asks and have done but what help does UKV need. It's a fantastic forum, well subscribed to so does it need 'likes' from Facebook?

 

Afraid it's just a reflection of how internet geeks designed their internet geek magic to work.

How does it help?

Do they cough up money or is it an imaginary pissers-1.gif

When you like something such as the UKV page, you'll get related adverts in your news feed. If you click that and in most cases also buy something then UKV should get some money.

 

The general opinion of businesses though is that Facebook adverts are mostly ignored or blocked.

 

So many negative waves :rolleyes::)

 

 

No, there's no money in it for the UKV page.

Funnily enough, for work reasons and completely unrelated to this (UKV had a FB page with a large following for several years that mysteriously got taken down a month or two ago spilt milk) I spent the day at Google and youtube on Tue,

Across the google/youtube/FB space, not sure your deductions could be further from the truth.

For eg, In UK we watch more online vid per head than any other country in the world, and Youtube has greater reach than Channel 4; and, unlike Ch 4 the ads are individually targeted according to user 'taste' - which may answer some people's consternation as to why they keep seeing mature dating and russian bride adverts :lol::):)

 

How does it help?

 

Quite unlike any conspiracy theory, the benefit is largely one of increasing UKV's web gravity. There's more geekery to it than that, but that's it at the 'headline' level, but there's no downside - and there's no financial benefit to UKV from FB.

 

 

Anyway.

 

'THANKS!' to people who've kindly clicked so far :):)

I'm not saying online adverts don't work. I'm saying ones on Facebook largely don't. My other half is in marketing and the figures support it. It's just the wrong environment for adverts. They work on YouTube and they work when they are related to the site they are on but even user targeted ads have a much lower effectiveness on Facebook for some reason.

 

If UKV aren't getting money from ads on Facebook then you should sort out an affiliated advert setup. You won't get a lot but every little helps.

What,if possible in dictionary English,does 'web gravity' mean or refer to ?

Or is it a 'need to know' geek talk-my daughter is in this game,big time-and it seems to me that there are all sorts of assumptions etc built in to varied useges of related(?) concepts-CitiBank web gravity is clearly a measure of a vendors success-but oddly weighted....selling one yesterday gets virtually the same score as selling a dozen a fortnight ago-Black Friday gone accountant crazy to me.... in academia,a bum is on a seat for a year..simples...

 

Not that I care,just curious...

Depends how people measure their marketing. "50% of my marketing works, but I don't know which 50%" There's a temptation amongst many marketeers to think that because online advertising allows click through to be measured they've discovered a way of measuring marketing effect; but they're failing the understand the rather more ethereal effect of placing a brand 'front of mind' ......they don't expect click through from a magazine advert, but they think a web advert is somehow different. It's a failure to appreciate the 2nd or third order questions; not 'what's the data?' but 'what does the data mean?', and 'what valid deductions can be drawn from it?'.

It's the difference between information and intelligence or between data and insight. No blanket statement can be applied to any advertising medium as being more or less effective across all requirements, it depends on what's being advertised, why it's being advertised and the intended effect of the ad. I'm sure you'd find FB massively outperforms some channels in some niches and the achievement of some effects, and underperforms in others. 'It all depends' - you need the insight, not just the data :)

 

 

Anyway. I have zero interest in debating this or receiving web advice :)the purpose of this thread is to ask likers of UKV to like UKV's facebook page. Not to explain the workings of the web, nor the learnings I have derived from a lifetime spent as a targeteer as well as, along the way, being responsible for the planning of the Army's national marketing for almost 5 years. :rolleyes::)

 

Please, if you like UKV, 'like' UKV's facebook page. Nothing deeper than that :)

 

Please click here, then 'like': https://www.facebook.com/ukvarminting

 

Please also 'Invite your friends' to like it too. :)

It's more likely a lack of a Facebook account. I only have one for my shooting club and never use it for anything else. Out of the 30 or so family and friends in my social circle, all of which are in their tech savvy 20-30s, about 5% use Facebook.

 

Incidentally, I did "Like" the UKV page for what it's worth.
