The entire social ad system is offline. Even banners buys run by facebook is offline. The banners showing up are 3rd party providers like casalemedia.

Just checked my stats today, still getting next to no clicks despite a high ctr by FB standards. Notice anything increasing?
 
I was able to get about 9000 impressions in 2 hours today but I jacked up the cpc bid to $2.05.. Got 1 click out of that and paused it before I went broke.
 
wow, no shit facebook??

Hi Josh,

For any given ad unit, we select the best ad to run based on the cost per click or cost per thousand impressions and ad performance. We have a process in place that will automatically calculate the minimum price that the advertiser could pay and still have the highest cost per click or CPM ad, and the advertiser will only be billed that price. This price may be below the advertiser's maximum cost per click or CPM. Because we lower the cost per click or CPM on your behalf, we recommend that you enter your true maximum cost per click or CPM when creating an ad. This will increase the likelihood that you do not miss out on clicks or impressions that you otherwise could have received.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

Rose

Wow so they are saying that 1.00 bids is now the "true" cost to advertise. What, do they think they're adwords or something?

Well I guess I will just have to say so long to that gravy boat. Oh how I will miss you.
 
I really do think that it might cool off quite a bit in January, but it doesn't look promising right now.
 
Whose giving up? I'm just going to keep spreading my eggs in greener pastures until I hit the nail on the head.

I love mixing metaphors.
 
I'm actually still making ads. I think I stumbled on a new strategy that would/will be really successful if I can get some impressions.

The only thing is, I'm making about 200% ROI with $.25 clicks, so it's not like I can go crazy with my bids.

Like I said, I'm still making ads, and hoping they will start taking off again in the next couple days, but I can't feasibly go above ~$.40 clicks. If you have some other strategy let us know.
 
Rose's reponce is a canned reply. The person i spoke to on the phone today confirmed what was emailed to me yesterday that they are having a big technical problem. The ad system was offline most of the day.

Click to expand...

I figured that was the case. I didn't even realize you could phone support, maybe I'll have to try that.

Did they give you any clues on when things might be cleared up?
 
$4 CPM and $1 CPC campaigns directly from a major internet company aren't getting much in terms of impressions today - Odds are it's really a system problem, and not bids.
