One, don't set your privacy settings to public (Everyone). Two, don't click on ads in Facebook. Frankly, I never click on ads anywhere except in e-mail that I've already subscribed to. Seriously - it takes an extra two minutes to go to Google (not signed in) and do a search for whatever product was in the ad.
