Why I don't advertise on Facebook.

If you look at the image on the left side you will see an ad that would lead me to Etsy as it appears on my personal Facebook page.  The problem?  The link is to one the many items in my store.  This would be ok if it was only a random occurrence.  All the tags on the prints for sale match a majority of the pages I have liked on Facebook.  The only problem with that is that I receive at two to three of these ads a day and the only items being shown to me are my own.  (These ads are paid for by Etsy, not buy me.)

It doesn't stop there however.  Lately I have also been getting bombarded with suggested pages.  Ones that say hey, so and so likes this page and so should you.  The thing is the page they are promoting is a page that I already like.  Sometimes they go so far as suggesting a page that I visit a few times a day.

If they are showing me this stuff then I'm going to assume the thing will happen if I pay to promote a post.

Do you use Facebook's pay to promote feature?  If so does it work for you at all?

Update: All of the sponsored Facebook posts on my wall in the past couple of days have been to pages I have already liked.  Every. Single. One.
