Navigating the affiliate marketing landscape requires choosing the right traffic source. This article compares the strengths and weaknesses of Facebook and ad networks, helping you optimize your campaigns for maximum success.
Facebook is arguably one of the most popular sources for traffic generation. It is favored by affiliates, marketers, and businesses alike. With its high-quality traffic, an audience of 3 billion users, a user-friendly ad manager with detailed targeting options, and the ability to run multiple ad campaigns simultaneously through Business Manager, it offers the potential for significant profits.
According to Statista, $51 billion was spent on Facebook advertising in 2023 alone.
Another popular source in affiliate marketing is ad networks. They distribute ads across various websites. The most common formats in these networks are teasers, banners, pop-unders, and push notifications. According to Statista, push traffic alone grew to $3 billion by 2024. And that doesn't even include pop-unders, pre-rolls, and banners.
Both Facebook and ad networks have their advantages and disadvantages. Let’s explore these to determine which source to choose and in which situations.
