They are becoming pickier and picker about things.. Some of it doesn't even make sense. They seem to default to Ad rules 6 and 7 whenever they feel like it even if your promotion is not even close to any of those things.

I did a few tests with destination urls, ad copy, and LP's. I even set up two ads I knew where 100% compliant (good ad copy, linked to my blog about cars). Guess what? Nope, for reasons 2, 12, and 13.

I don't know what's up. I e-mailed them and was like "WTF", so we'll see what they do. I'm about ready to jump ship and head on back to Yahoo/AdWords.
 
Suggested min. bids are over $1.00 now. Looks like Facebook is just playing chicken with how hard they can screw their advertisers without them leaving.

Methinks in the long run they will lose a lot of money from the gross mismanagement of their ad program. I can't think of one advertiser who is happy with them right now.

I bet CPM advertisers aren't happy either- I've seen the same skyscraper ad for Target gift cards at least 600 times. I'm no closer to getting a Target gift card now than the first time I saw it.
 
haha I haven't used there ad system yet but I tried to toss up a pornographic profile as a test to see how long it would take for them to kill it and I'd say there human mods are fairly quick, took about 25 minutes for them to shut it down which simply proves that they mod new profiles.

Moving onto stage 2...
 
Yup...in case anyone has considered spamming the marketplace with Zip submits,
they mod the marketplace too and mine got shut down super fast.
 
It seems like they're artificially jacking up the minimum bid to try and get more money. I would suggest clicking help at the bottom, going to the bottom of the social ads help page, and sending them a message asking them why you can't get impressions unless you bid triple what you were bidding 3 days ago.
 
My problem:

No impressions. No impressions means no clicks. No clicks means no leads. No leads means no money.

Fuckin this is pissing me off. When I look around on facebook I'm just seeing the SAME banner OVER and OVER.
 
Okay either the Facebook ad system is buggy as hell or they're just fucking with me for fun. My ad has been stuck at this for 30 minutes now:

Yes, that's right. $0.40 CPC, targeted at anyone over 18, and 1 impression. 0 impressions I understand, means it hasn't been approved yet. But one????

What. The. Fuck.

Edit: Sweet. I'm at 2 impressions now. At this rate, i'll be banking millions in no time.

You think, like Google, they factor in account history? Anyone try starting fresh with a new account?
 
my impressions and CPC are really shitting the bed today on me today as well...if it continues tomorrow gunna have to contact them to see whats up

I'm using an account with the only ad ever created is the one i'm using now. The CTR on the ad is about .3% and whereas 3 days ago I was bidding 4 cents and banking big, I have to bid 15 or 16 cents today to get impressions. For now I'm just not bothering till they fix it as i'll break even at best.
 
BOOOO

No impressions today at all. I'm only getting banners when I search around.

I e-mailed them about it so we'll see if they say anything noteworthy.
 
impressions are pretty dead here too, on two ads with very good past CTRs - impressions dropped off suddenly, out of nowhere. hope FB fixes whatever their "problem" is soon...
