Hi,
I thought I’d chime in and say that I’ve been using Google Adwords for about a year and have seen similar results to your Facebook results. Regardless of the daily limit I post, most days it goes over that limit (say $3.75 when the limit was $3.00). I’m in the U.S., so this isn’t an exchange rate problem.
I’ve also had no clear indication that the clicks I’m getting from cpc are translating into sales at any greater rate than the natural Google search. My bounce rate for cpc and organic search is almost identical, so I’m not convinced this “targeted advertising” is producing results better than the organic search.
