Well, as most of you know, recently the create a similar ad button has not been working when you are trying to resubmit ads, or create similar ones. While dicking around on Facebook, I randomly found a way that may make some of your lives easier.

Basically, create your ad (we'll call this the control ad), then delete it. When you hit create a similar ad on an ad that has been manually deleted and not disapproved (so you delete it yourself before it gets disapproved), everything pops up ready to go. All the fields are prefilled for you. Of course you can rinse and repeat this with variations of ads so that you don't have to keep modifying stuff.

The rest is simple, take the control ad(s) and just use them to create as many ads as you need. It is a time saver as most of you will be split testing things as images or text where a lot of the info stays the same.

Oh and when your ads are disapproved, just go back to the control ad, rinse and repeat.

Hope that helps some of you out..
 


Just what I was looking for. Nice observation, and thanks for sharing!

Another thing I noticed, you don't need to make a "base" ad to delete and work off of. Delete any of your disapproved ads, then click on Create Similar Ad and it will work to resubmit them.

No longer works as you said, thats why you have to create a base ad now ;)
 
Here is what I do. As soon as I get an ad approved I pause it so it can't get slapped. Then I use this ad to roll out other variations without having to go thru the approval process again (just hit create similar ad - if you don't change any ad copy/image then you are rolling).

Care to elaborate? Ads always have to go through approval from what I've tried.

Not always. It seems random to me. All dating ads have to be approved again for sure. Outside of that, some do and some don't. Who knows how they run things there? Remember, most of them are street kids who took a government funded part time night course in Computers 101 and are now off the streets, and hopefully off the crack, working for minimum wage.
