I'm under the impression that I don't need to make LPs for low payout offers ($7.50 or so).. but I have registered a new domain that is relevant to the offer I'm running..

So am I supposed to basically set the facebook ad to take the user to my newly registered domain, but have the domain re-direct them to the offer page?

Is this 'illegal' in facebook terms? What is this whole cloaking business and sending FB admin to a certain page and the users to the offer page?

thanks!

just take 2 minutes and run through the ad guidelines.... http://www.facebook.com/ad_guidelines.php


redirecting is illegal accoring to fb ad guidelines.

Cloaking is where you send FB reps and reviewers to a different page than other users. Facebook doesn't allow any offers that would ever see an ROI so you pretty much have to do this to get anything approved on facebook. Ex. Send FB reviewers to some diet information page with recipes and crap, send FB users to an acai flog. I don't think FB even allows email submits because it requires too much personal information of their users...but they allow dating offers??

watch out though, facebook users will click on ads for the fuck of it, be prepared to blow through tons of cash

yup.. blew through like $50 worth in cash (i know it's not a lot to a lot of you) and got like 75 clicks... ZERO conversions for a relatively low payout offer ($6.50).

all you need to do is fill out your name and email address.. and ZERO out of 75 people did that.

yeah, i dont get it either, i think the thing is that you need to target the audience extremely well.

and keep the bid super low (dont listen to what facebook recommends)

And I dont know if my ads just sick dick (I really don't think they do; relevant images, good grammar, call-to-action statement), but my CTR is always sub 0.03%..

I've been reading how a 0.2% CTR is considered really good for FB, and for awhile, my CTR was reading 0.02% and I misread that for 0.2% and was extremely satisfied. So I told my AM and he facepalmed; that's when I realized it was 0.02% lol.

And yeah, I've just been bidding the recommended amount facebook sets, if not a few cents higher.

How big is your target demo? If it is under 1 mil. you should shoot for around .15-.2+, if its over 1 mil. try to hit .10 at least

oksk89

so, generally, the lower the target demo, the higher my ctr should be, and vice versa?
