LOL! Thank you very much. I think the fact that you are continuing the conversation and not trying to make someone who disagrees with you sound stupid, means that you're pretty decent yourself.
And I completely agree with the part about putting too much stake into people because they can throw a ball. I'm into sports, I mean...I'm into sports...but I don't call players heroes. The ability to throw a ball 50 yrds from your hip only means you can throw a ball for 50 yrds. It doesn't mean that you're a good person. It doesn't mean you're a role model for what children should grow up being, or the kind of man you want your daughter to marry.
As far as the advertising on Facebook goes, when you start the advertising account, you choose how, when & even statistically who will see your ad. The ads that you see 24/7 are set up to be shown to everyone while I choose to only have friends of friends who had not liked my page yet to see mine. It's a different set up and the ads were cheaper.
I've never used any other form of advertising, so I can't account for the Google thing. Unless it was simply that the Google ad did not push traffic to Facebook only to the Google side of your site. The Facebook ads brought a few to my site, but mainly only brought Facebook traffic. But that's all I was wanting, so I was fine with that.
While I still think you shouldn't link on someone's page just because they have a large following, I do understand what you're trying to say. It's raining anyways how in the world could my water gun ruin someone's leather jacket?! But taking just one little part from what you were saying about your friend pointing out that most celebrities today are infamous instead of being famous...
...infamous only cares that his name is being said, famous cares about why someone is saying their name.
I totally get what you're saying about getting traffic from someone else's site. I really do. And I am sure that you have gotten a lot of people who maybe went to your site and liked what you were saying based on what you were saying and not just because you posted a link on Green Day's fan page (total side note, I love Green Day). And there are several sites that I love, but the way I do it is share their info on my page instead of posting my link on their page. Stuff like photos and status updates. And if you do that you're still handing out your card at the concert, just not on the same that they've rented to perform in, more like in the parking lot.
Personally, I don't follow links left on other's pages. But I do pay attention to the shares and will check out pages that have shared some of the content that I like. Maybe when you get back on Facebook, you could try that and see if it works for you. And you shouldn't get labeled as a spammer like that either.
