As Facebook seems to make changes to its algorithms on a daily basis, it can be tough to keep up with what you can do on your Facebook page and what you can't.

In my opinion, the best plan is to stick to relevant, fun content that's not going to constantly spam people with stuff they don't want. The easiest way to measure this is by seeing how many likes, comments, and shares you get for each post.

The reason we like Facebook for ecommerce advertising so much is because it's a completely free way to test out those ads beforehand. You can send out a feeler for an ad, then see if any of your regular followers find it interesting.

For your well-performing posts, it's a seamless process jumping from a regular Facebook post to a promotion. It certainly helps that Facebook has made it extremely easy for you to give them money.

But that poses the question: what are some of the best Facebook advertising strategies for your ecommerce store?

Product listing ads are also known as PLA ads or Google Shopping ads. In short, they're online advertisements that companies pay for on a cost per click (CPC) basis. Therefore, if your online store were to take out a product listing ad on Google, you would only pay for the times when a user clicked on that ad. No payments are made when users see the ad but don't decide to click.

In general, merchants purchase these product listing ads through Google AdWords. It's the most popular ad network in the world, but there are some smaller ones you can also look into.

You don't have to pay anything to signup for AdWords, so the only costs that come in are when users make those clicks. As for the location of the ads, they're placed on the side of Google search results and on the top.

Here's an example:
