Thoughts? Sure as hell not putting conversion amount in there... Has anyone used it yet?
 
IDK traffic seemed slow today... I did notice an average .02 - .04 cent increase on a lot of age group CPMs.... The margin becomes smaller....
 
My CC has mysteriously vanished from my account now too, so all my ads have been suspended, only just noticed today after checking stats and found no conversions... Blah!

That's cool -- I haven't seen it but let us know how it works. Is it some kind of pixel tracking?
 
Same here..

Dude its fucking crazy.... pretty soon and theres not going to be any point in trying to make money on FB.

Keywords are useless as well, you are either paying just as much for less traffic, or getting a better rate for 100 people to see your ad (literally). I don't know what the hell they are doing, idk if its the new layout or if they have just gotten a little more greedy but wtf
 
No. Just no.

really? at this rate we will be seeing .40 .50 + CPMs in no time for smaller age groups. Let me know how you do with this. Some age groups are already in the high .20's early .30's for any type of penetration / visibility.
 
I can't believe it, but there are actually zero dating ads on my ad board.
So I've gotta ask: Are they still requiring you to include the name of the site in the dating ads?
 
ah damn, anybody else see a .05-0.10 increase in suggested bid prices lately??

Ya if you look a few posts above yours you would have seen that. Oh and to clarify what I said. Its still possible to make money, but with the CPMS going up so quickly you will not make as much and campaigns are going to die out quicker. For instance normally I can run a campaign with a .20s .30s EPC (which is great when you are getting traffic for .03 cents a click.) I can usually hold on to the campaign and make a decent profit until around the .14 . 13 mark. This is going to change very soon...

Really the only way I see making money on most offers is going to be aiming for super high EPCs. But I dont see it happening... Again this morning one of my campaigns had to be upped another .10 cents to be with the suggested CPM.

I'm an idiot. My answer is only a couple pages back.
Yes you need to include the name of the dating site in the copy or image.

Facebook is so naive, if they kept their guidelines more general instead of cracking down on even the most simple marketing tactics they would no longer be looking for ways to profit.
 
Okay, so let me get this straight:

Does pausing ads/campaigns really fuck up your impressions/CTR? Following recommendations in this thread, I've been "pausing" my campaigns by setting my budgets to $1. But that sort of ruins the CTR later on because the impressions still trickle throughout the day on the $1 budget.

Is Pausing safe?
