Facebook Social Ads

I just submitted my first one today, and haven't gotten anything. It is running to my knowledge but no clicks or impressions.
 
If you guys start having trouble getting clicks, I have some decently high traffic FB apps that need proper monetization. I'd like to work with someone to get an effective ad campaign going, we can design the ad to maximize CTR and conversion. I'd sell clicks for a flat rate of .10, and no banning hassles (dating, ringtones, zip submits etc are all fair game for me). PM me if you're interested. (I can get you around 5000+ unique impressions or a few hundred clicks a day for now but my apps are growing and I'd be able to offer alot more soon).
 
I just submitted my first campaign today and haven't gotten any clicks or impressions either. The ad is still running I think. Who knows what they are doing at facebook.

I'm not banned, but it was for cloaking =)

I was wondering, how can they figure out the cloaking. Like when they get complaints about the ads for example, or when you start getting so many clicks, they double check your sites ?

Also, if your account gets banned, will your credit card get banned too ?
 
...or they figure out cloaking by clicking on an ad after it goes live. It doesn't take a genius to do that.
Unless you're doing IP delivery, which I dont think anyone is doing.


Facebook is seriously becoming a cocktease though...My ads which was running for 2 days now suddenly got disapproved. Back to the drawing board, I'm sick of these battles of wits with their underpaid interns.
 
I am finally getting my impressions. Right now I am at 2777 with no clicks. Should I have clicks already? Any advice on tweaks?
 
In my experience if you don't get at least one click within the first few thousands impressions you're pretty much fucked. It slows down fast and hard.

Let it run to 10,000 or so impressions. I've found that the time of day, day of the week, etc. all play a factor in CTR. A CTR of 0.15 or higher is acceptable, so if you don't get that get back to the drawing board and reexamine your targeting/ad copy.
 
Thanks everyone for the advice! I will wait until tomorrow to see how it goes. It feels like Christmas since it's my first campaign. You can't wait to open a present (clicks), to see what you got!

In the case of Facebook, coal. Not exactly the best-converting traffic.

Do you think its possiblbe to do IP delivery with facebook ? I think that would lower the chances of being caught for cloaking.
 
I think people are too strict on CTR...I have a campaign that has a daily CTR of .08-.09, that gets over 300,000 impressions daily and it converts like crazy. You can definitely have success with CTRs below .1

Oh for sure, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. Just keep in mind that someone like me (who is going to spend six hours to optimize the ad/campaign so that I get a CTR of 0.2 or higher) will be spending less and making more.
