You know what pisses me off...finally getting a handful of ads approved and a minute later they kill them. Bastards.
 
I just ran my first ad, it is a dating ad and within 10 minutes of being up it had like 5k impressions. 7 hrs later when I woke up, it had only gotten 1.2k more. Is it normal to see an initial spike like that?
 
Do you guys tend to schedule your ads by time of day by lowering bids to .01 at some points? Or do you just max it out and let them run all day?

Particularly for dating ads...

Lol, that's not a spike.:error: That's FB sending your ad a little traffic to see if it'll get clicks. Generally what I see is you need at least one click [normally 2] to break past that 5k mark.

If you ad doesn't preform than it wont keep getting impressions. Then it's time to create a new ad. So shut that one down because the CTR is too low and make a new one.

Test test test.
 
I agree with you guys saying they really need a option to show stats for "today" instead of last 24 hours. And yeah, they also need to make it possible to pause and unpause ads from the main page. It is ridiculous the amount of clicking I have to do, I have to click each ad to see how it is doing for the day. Sometimes I'll do last 24 hours and my CTR looks great and then I'll look at individual ads so I can see what it is for the current day and I realize it actually sucks, really annoying. Wish it was easier to contact them... have you guys had any luck emailing them, is there an address I can try emailing if I have problems or is it pointless?

Or how about "remove all rejected ads".
My page at FB has so many stupid red dots and exclamation points it looks like it has chicken pox.
 
Don't you love it when people copy your ad title, ad description, offer, and same image? Are you seriously that lazy and can't write your own ad title or description? I guess I must be doing something right....

Aight thanks for the heads up, I send some more ads. It is just frustrating when 9 our of every 10 get disapproved, im too lazy to make more.
 
i finally got a few ads approved, but now im getting no imppressions. It says i need up up my cpc, but i dont think it will be profitable at .60 per click on FB. Im gonna up the bid and get some impression, then lower it. It works on google
 
Starting to go back into adwords since my facebook budget's been maxed out.

I think facebook has spoiled my work ethic. Researching keywords, setting up landing pages, etc. seems a lot more work than before after spending so much time with facebook.

Anyone else feel the same?
 
well im not targeting canada but it seems my number of clicks has basically halved for the day... is it just me? cant figure out why.
