Facebook can indeed be a good, free way to advertise your business, however it is often best used in conjunction with other advertising programs since Facebook is built upon a fan base. To get fans to your Facebook page, you’ll need to advertise that you have Facebook page throughout other traditional forms of advertising. If you send out email blasts, include a link to your page.
If you do mass-mailings, let your customer know you’ve set up a Facebook page. Consider enticing this type of traffic by offering an incentive to those that become a fan—perhaps a small discount or a sneak peek at upcoming new products or services. To keep this type of audience engaged, you have to treat them differently than you would your normal customers.
Facebook is ABSOLUTELY an effective and FREE way to advertise on the web. With my company I have found that Twitter advertising is most effective for us, and yet again, free! LinkedIn and writing a blog are also very effective.
Our company helps our clients with fun and creative marketing campaigns. There are sooo many ways to advertise on the web. Just start with one (Facebook) and try to integrate that in to Twitter, and LinkedIn, and keep adding from there.

It depends on what kind of business you have and who your target market is. Knowing that, Facebook gives you options (as shown on facebook.com/ads/best_practices.php) on when and to whom your ads will appear to depending on age, location and keywords used/found on the page users are viewing. The ad, which is really small, needs to be eyecatching but it doesn't stop there.
The landing page (where users are brought to when they click it) shouldn't cause users to lose interest and in most cases, needs to be straight to the point on how you can be of service to them. More than just ads, Facebook pages and groups are being used commercially for more of a 'word of mouth' / 'viral' feel.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
