You too? My conversions on an offer that had a crazy high ROI for the past 2 days is barely breaking even today. Glad to hear it's not just something with my ad.

My day is going ok... conversion are still steady but my CTR is starting to go down.

They also just shut off one of my best performers:

 
Does anyone else experience the "extra clicks" bug occasionally?

My affiliate network reported 3,000 clicks but facebook only recorded / charged 2,000 clicks. Got an extra $600 profit yesterday :), I'm wondering if its happened to anyone else.

Same thing happened to me yesterday too.

The time zones are different a lot of time. A consistant 1k-2k clicks above is where I normally am due to the difference.

I get fluctuations because my facebook account time is at -8UTC and my aff account is at -5UTC so i have a 3hr time period in which my stats get placed into different days.

They charged me for like 100 or so clicks yesterday.. and I got like 800.
 
wtf is going on today? conversion went straight down the hole!!!!

Mine have too, enough people here saying this for me to raise an eyebrow. Really weird, I've never had a fluctuation either way this large.

We'll see what happens tomorrow. I can't understand it unless my ads are getting shown outside of my targetting - or there is some click spam/fraud (time to examine my server logs - not sure what mechanisms fb has to prevent click spam, if any). This is across several thousand clicks, too.
 
Mine too. My conversion averaged 12% Mon-Wed and 5% today. Hopefully its just a bad day or something.

Mine aren't that bad but are down 30% (cuts into profits...).

I am not seeing much, if any, obvious click spam in my logs. Who knows. Might scrub it against a database of proxy IPs if this continues beyond today.

I wouldn't have questioned it had there not been so many others posting about this today.

Not too worried about it at this time.

I also wonder if we are all promoting the same thing... :o
 
My conversions have been ok but CTR has gone down the shitter yesterday and today = double CPC :( I think FB has been doing some major tweaking this last week, can't have anyone profiting now can we!
 
Anybody having trouble creating ads today? I keep trying to make new ones, but they aren't showing up.

Nope, I'm flying through ads and getting some pretty iffy stuff approved!

And no trouble with conversions either, they are up 3% on the day.
 
Looks like FB is mis-targetting some of my ads. I think that is my conversion problem, at least. Looks good for the last couple of hours but we will see what happens tomorrow.
 
breaking news. just heard on the radio, some parent is suing facebook cuz their 10 year old kid was talking to someone on fb about sexual contents! maybe thats why our ads are acting werid today!!!
