Any thoughts on better choices for advertising B2B offerings? Has anybody here tried LinkedIn for that, for example?

I tried all 3 (Google, Facebook and LinkedIn). For my circumstances, Facebook won by a mile. Google did ok. LinkedIn was a complete disaster.

Sure, that seems to be the default for most things, but I guess what I really meant to ask was more about specific sites that do their own ads, outside of Adwords. I'm guessing industry vertical sites are good for B2B, but I'd love to hear about other folk's experience in that regard.
