85Some Notable Differences between Facebook Ads and Google AdwordsThere is more competition on Google than

Facebook…  Google Adwords is keyword and geo targeted where as Facebook advertising is demographic, geo targeted and allows targeting according to profile attributes

You can steadily bid up on Google to increase your ad position along top and side whereas Facebook ads only display along one side (currently)

Google Adwords are text ads, Facebook ads are text and image.

Facebook generally allows more targeted advertising, but is more B2C centric currently.
