I'm trying to get an idea of how to bid on facebook. When making an initiating bid, do you bid with any relation to the suggested bid or what is going to be profitable? Does it make sense to bid high and get a lot of impressions and then drop the bid if and when it gets a good CTR? Anyone care to share their 2 cents of how they go about bidding?
 


I pretty much always bid cpm. Start low, and increase your bids by a couple cents every few hours until you start getting impressions. Cheapest and best way to do it - takes awhile though.
 
I start off by bidding $2 a click. If I'm not profitable after $300 spent, I lower it to $1, then $0.75, then $0.50, and repeat.
 
i bid whatever it goes for cpc.
once it gets some impressions i delete if its not high enough ctr.

see theres plenty of ways to do it, go try instead of being one of the million people starting these dumb threads

if this is your mentality then you are going to fail. that is not how am works. at all.
 
I usually bid a tad under the minimum recommended CPC. The most important thing is to have a good ad, with a good ctr. A lot has to do with the demographics you are targeting as well. For my demo(and most demos), if I get a CTR of .20+ then I am golden. I can get ungodly amounts of traffic and the ad will kick ass for weeks usually. But an ad with .10 to .16 will bring some decent traffic as well. After obtaining "quality" in FB's eyes, aka spending $1k+, I drop the bids slowly in about .05 increments until I am in a good profit zone. Then I just let them run. Again this really depends on the demographic, how much you are paying and what you are making on what you are promoting. This is from someone that spends 5k-10k a day on FB.
 
Day 1 - bid in the middle of suggested range.
Day 2 - your ctr is rocking (.20%+) because your ad pwns, budget $100,000.
Day 3 - pause ads.
Day 4 - drop bids to NEW suggested bids, should be 1/4 of the original bid because of ctr, resume.

Day 5 on you should be getting a shit ton of impressions at a super low cpc b/c of a pwnage ad.
 
Bids for campaigns you can actually scale are going to be $1-1.75 so bid in that area and try to find a campaign that will work.
 
I'd really like you guys to tell me how to be a professional poker player so I don't have to spend money learning. You can just tell me and then I'll be good.
 
Why even talk about affiliate marketing at all? Experiment and find out for yourself. This forum is for tit pics and dickrolls only.
