Everything got back to normal yesterday for me as far as impressions, finally.
Time to set up some new campaigns and see what happens.

Really? My impressions are still fucked. I'm bidding almost twice as high as I should be and I've gotten 262 impressions total. No one else is having problems?

I'm back to normal.

minimum bid down to .55 now. If your still slow, wait for it to be corrected rather than up the bid because the changes have to propogate to all the servers. uppinf the bid will just skew the numbers and make it a longer wait to get back to market rate.

Same here. My two campaigns that have been running for weeks at 14-17 cpc got < 300 impressions in the past 24 hours, even bidding .25

wtf. My ad disappeared after 3000 impressions :|

 

[nickycakes]

Bids are still a little high but not completely fucked like they were before. Hopefully today it sinks back down to how it was before all the problems.

 

[AdJumpCM]

YEA. Let's all go back to getting rich

 

[freshinc]

I am back to high bids again today. I have the cpc @ .65 with no impressions at all. This sucks!

How long is it taking everyone to get new ads approved? Mines been over 2 hours...I thought that had been sped up?

 

[m0rtal]

Been waiting for about 2 and a half hours as well, nottin no go.

How do you know if you are awaiting approval? I just make an ad and is says that it is running.

they all get looked at before going live - check your ref logs for a facebook url - if its been looked at by them and is still running you're gold, if its been looked at and stopped running then try again

 

[turbolapp]

or if you get just one click someones looking at it. So far I"m zero across the board.

 

[joshmv]

I have ads from yesterday that still aren't approved.

My ads are back to being fucked up, with almost no impressions today

 

[machinecontrol]

My ads are still fucked....getting 2-3 impressions an hour.

Boy, I finally got my visa gift card and was ready to give this a go. This is not good news.

Important discovery: Ad text now affects bid price. Not sure if they are using a which ads have best history ranking method like the search engines or if it's just a keyword thing. My gut feeling it's a keyword thing. Try it out. Create an ad and enter the word rolex in the headline. Bid is at 70 cents. Enter the word TAG, bid is at 60 cents, enter the word timex, bid is at 51 cents, enter the word free, bid is at 50 cents, etc.... Time to get a dictionary and blast the system to get bid prices for all keywords.

 

[joshmv]

How's everybody doing with impressions today. Mine grinded to a halt after a quick comeback yesterday.

 

[Bearded]

Looks like my ads are finally running normally again, and new ones are getting approved in 2 hrs or so.
