I've used Facebook ads for a paid game and got bad results. You can really target the ads to your exact audience, but we had a really bad conversion rate. It may have been our creatives, but I don't think so. It may work well for a freemium game, i'm not sure. You can test the waters with a small daily spend limit of $10 to see for yourself.

However, IMO, like Rubicon says, banner ads are waste of money, unless you have a very large budget to push lots of banners ads on lots of popular sites.

We also used FAAD and went free the day before Rubicons game. I can also say that it works. We got picked up and reviewed/reported on, by many other sites tracking free games, which helped. Especially since we haven't really had many reviews from websites at all.

Our campaign got us around 100k downloads a day and numerous #1 positions so we're happy with that.

If you get the right audience and high ctr with fb mobile ads there is change to get dirty cheap installs.

We spent about 250€ to our last test campaign and avarge price for install was 0,16€

Rubicon,

I for one downloaded GBWG for free and wouldn't even have known it was a FAAD promotion - visibility on the appshopper app is what got my download...

Yes, you should try fb mobile advertising. It's really effective, I have tried it on my gaming blog. Facebook Mobile advertising works really well for developers like us and I can assure you big revenue potential.
