Ad targeting Options
Targeted ads allow your ads to perform better by being displayed to users who are most likely to be interested with your products & services.
With Facebook.com ads, you could target your preferred geographies where you wish your ad to be displayed from across 26 countries and refine your targeting to specific cities.
Demographic options allow you to target people by likes/interests and connections across Facebook.com
Chose between “broad age match”, which will deliver ads outside your targeted age range at discounted bids automatically and “require exact age” that will show your ads only to users age specified by you.
Advanced options include sexual preference, relationship status, languages, education and workplaces.

You can chose CPM (Pay for Impressions) or CPC (Pay for clicks) and since click-through rate is usually as low as < 0.1% for most ads, “Pay for Clicks” gives you the best value for money.
