Facebook Pay-Per-Click Ad Formats by Objective

2. WHAT Facebook ppc ads by objective EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Facebook pay per click (PPC) is an excellent channel for reaching a large yet precision-targeted audience with advertising to meet a variety of objectives. An ever-increasing number of ad types can be used to meet just about any campaign objective (or multiple objectives). The campaign objective or objectives (for example, post engagement, video views, website traffic) determines the recommended ad format. Ads can appear in the newsfeed on desktops, newsfeeds on mobile or the right-hand column (RHC) of desktops (as there is no RHC on mobile). Facebook has also recently released an ad format that allows ads to serve on other mobile apps using Facebook’s demographic and interest targeting.
WHERE DO ADS DISPLAY?
Ads can display in three different placement types on Facebook or on the Facebook audience network of mobile app partners. Any or all of these options are available for most campaign types; and, in most cases, all placement types should be tested at the onset of a campaign. Each placement type varies slightly on the content included in the ad.
Mobile newsfeed ads drive the majority of traffic.
