NEW Facebook Ads

since I got a couple of PM's, here's how to automate with iMacros...


The problem is that facebook uses dynamic URL entry fields, meaning that the URL of the input field changes every time you reload the page (also called "Wildcards").

To insert your description/title/image/whatever, you need to change the URL entry so that iMacros will recognize it as a wildcard and input your image no matter what the URL of the entry field is.

for example, here's a recording i just made to insert a title:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:create_ad_form ATTR=ID:UIAdCreativeTitle_TitleText_c4c3f968d9d47669938864 CONTENT=title

the "c4c3f968d9d47669938864" is a random code generated by facebook (the wildcard). to fix it, replace it with a *, like so:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:create_ad_form ATTR=ID:UIAdCreativeTitle_TitleText_* CONTENT=title

imacros will read the * and disregard the random numbers generated by facebook. you can use this for any input field.

here's some more info if you need it:

enjoy :)

What the fuck with FB ??? I have created like 20 ads, decide to check for mistakes, well click on random... it showed, and suggested bids are way below what I have entered when created it ???!!! While ehen I want to edit it then to double chec, my bid is right into the middle of interval of suggested bids.

Whom to believe ? Sure I want to pay less, but want to have decent traffic too.
 
Sorry for my words, but gotta say this...I fucking hate FB right now!! They must hate their approval jobs, cause they've got bad judgement! How many times will i have to resubmit my ads before they finally approve them!! The worst part is that those few who i was able te get accepted(wich is also weird cause the same adcopies with different pics got refused, but not because of the pics!) have been de-approved! That sucks big time! I even emailed the approval team...there unuseful! I don't need to be reminded the reason that was written already on my account...So back now to resubmit like 75 ads for the 6th time! since yesterday afternoon!

You're only on your 6th submit and already complaining?!?!? Come back after you've done it 20 more times and whine then, maybe I'll listen.. :D

P.S. fuck FB ad approvals
 
I have noticed if you submit ads and some decent part got dissaproved, rest live ads don't get any impressions at all or they do get some part but then after time ....it's shaves to some point back where it only start getting...and freezes there...WTF ? Is it only on my account ? Looks like Google behaivour lol
 
Nevermind, when waked up and looked at the campaign (deleted, cause was not sure what will happen if I will leave it with such things going on) it was got impressions and some clicks...but fuck...it show to me 762 imps and 0 clicks many times!!!! and like 1 time in 10 only real stats. FB is fucking broken, be carefull with your money!
 
Anybody getting "The creative has a problem" over the last 24hrs when trying to submit ads?

I was only getting it once in a while, but now it won't let me submit anything. I just get that message.

I know the creative is fine as I have used the same settings for multiple other countries today.

I was getting that all day yesterday.
 
(I just emailed the question I'm about to ask to Facebook support, but since they've proven themselves to be witless fucktards so many times in the past, I'm assuming their answer will be worthless and am therefore asking it to you kind folks.)

I have a few campaigns running right now, each with daily budget of a couple hundred bucks a day, each containing ads that are getting 0.1% - 0.15% CTR and have bids at the top of, or above, the recommended range. So far today across all my campaigns I've spent... $32. Yesterday I spent $60, which is < 20% of what my daily max budget was across all my campaigns. My credit limit with FB is somewhere in the couple thousand dollar range, so that's not it either. I have not made any changes to these campaigns in the last 24 hours, so it's not like I just upped the budget and am experiencing lag as it catches up.

Has this happened to any of you before (i.e. system spends way below your budget), and if so, how did you fix it? Again, I'm waiting to hear back from FB on this, but I'm not optimistic the person answering will have first clue what's going on.
 
That exactly what is going on with me know and I can't fucking resolve it. Always though it will fix themself, but decided to e-mail FB at last several times, waiting, you know they reply like once in 3 days.

Try raising your budget to something retarded like 10K+/day. I'm not running too much on FB right now but I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is throttling.
 
Plus I keep seeing reset stats or close to that I mean after some time CTR, CPC, CPM, spendings, clicks, impressions are shown as big ZERO. WTH ???? Is it only me ?
