You can buy a bunch of friends, but what’s the CPM?
Some guy is selling 10 Facebook profiles each with at least 200 friends. He even outlined the “formula” on how those profiles were created. The opening bid was $0.99 with only one bidder before the auction was shutdown by eBay.
Suppose the deal actually closes at $0.99. For 99 cents, you get access 2000 friends. I’m going to assume that you can spam, um, I mean broadcast, to these “friends” 5 times before the realize that they are being marketed to and unfriend you. So, 2000 friends times 5 impressions = 10,000 impressions for $0.99, i.e. about $0.10 CPM.
I’m making a lot of assumptions here based on wild guess. Anyone who uses “managed profiles” (a.k.a. fake profiles) to do real marketing can contact me directly and let me know how effective it is. I’ll summarize anonymously so you can keep doing what you are doing.
