Facebook Social Ads

[MCRunning]

It is a facebook problem.

[sarcasm]Thanks I thought my internet was really down.[/sarcasm]

You gotta beat the uploading pic level, after that placing the ad is the final boss.

Well, they're definitely not slacking.
I'm seeing facebook employees trying to forge referrers at my ad pretty constantly now. Ugh.

I think the issue is that the targeting is just on users and not actions. Users will see the ad, those that are interested will most likely convert in the first few views of it others will never convert. After all of the interested users convert the number of new users doesn't increase fast enough to keep up conversions.

Over 24 hours later and I'm still sitting here with my thumb up my ass. Anyone else still having issues publishing ads?

 

[goddfadda]

Yea I've been getting it most of the day. Its my fault. I tried to use Anime porn for my ad and the thing has been fucked since....

 

[MCRunning]

It's working again, but now the question is can I get my ad approved?! Dun dun dun

If you're ever wondering why Facebook is so unorganized and generally unpredictable.. check out this video:

YouTube - 60 Minutes - Facebook
(no rick roll, don't worry)

At about 1:30 they show Facebook headquarters, and their employees.

Unicycles... electric guitars... partying... this really explains a lot.

anyone having trouble updating bid prices this morning?

 

[Xrproto]

urgh...it won't let me update bids or delete ads.

 

[TLott]

same here. it was working an hour ago.

piece of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Xrproto]

Works now for me again...for now

 

[TLott]

Yeah it works now. Facebook really needs to get their act together. This is cheese.

 

[chrisr]

okay, its my turn for facebook ad fun! Whenever I finish and ad and place the order, it dumps me to the profile page instead of the ad manager, and the order is not taken.

Saw this happened to other folks, how did it resolve for you?

 

[Rage9]

^Guess you'll have to let it self resolve. I haven't ever been dumped back to my profile but other odd things have happened.

You can try clearing your cookies and cache, and then logging back in. That fixed it for me.

 

[chrisr]

after clearing the cookies, cache, rebooting and sacrificing one chicken, everything is back to normal. thanks for the suggestions.

has anyone tried to upload an animated gif? that would prob increase CTR a lot if they accept. I just don't know how to make them.

 

[goddfadda]

I think they convert everything to jpg.
