Facebook advertising

Do you need to advertise on facebook if you're a small business. I see many comment that state you can't afford not to. So do you trust them, I ventured off and found a $500.00 credit and have been trying them out. As a small business owner mykeyfinder I have found that you can't afford it. The CPC cost is 60% higher than Google and 40% higher than Bing (aka Microsoft advertising).

During my credit trail, which is still ongoing, I have spent $4.70 in a month on advertising@ 60% higher CPC than Google ongoing rate. I know facebook boast 4 million users but the impression can be 200-1000 per day if you get impressions at all. on an average week thus far my impression on happen one day a week and averaging .25 clicks per week during the trails.

Also note a "Fan Page" is a good thing but FBML, really do we need another html markup language, are you Microsoft please. I am disappointed during my trails and once the 50.00 is gone so am I now that might take a few months, or the credit expires first. I betting the credit expires first. To those small business owners go Google, not Bing and defiantly not facebook unless your pocketbook is large for advertising.
