NEW Facebook Ads

I'm having an insane time trying to bring down my click costs from $1.50 to what should be at least 0.05c by now on an ad that is performing at 0.584% CTR

What exactly are you doing when you say "trying to bring down click costs"?
 


I just noticed that 25% of the clicks I'm paying for are duplicate clicks. Is this normal for FB?

do you mean in the facebook advertising performance reports or a discrepancy between network/prosper reported clicks and facebook clicks

Bidding low, however the CPC isnt getting any lower than it is. With a CTR like that surely I should be able to get 12c clicks?

I have been getting that all day today and yesterday.
 
01/01/2011 178,727 0.0% 42 0.023% 0.69 0.16

those are my numbers from tonight the past few hours. they are SERIOUSLY not matching up.

my clicks are not matching up either, and i track my traffic like a psycho, i keep one window open affiliate, hosting company, prosper, and facebook. facebook ads are waaaay off.

this is really pissing me off also, there is definitely some leak clickage going on. i have all my ads are paused till i start seeing some stability.

complete clusterfuck right now and getting worse:

cant see ANY stats. earlier had to reload several times, mostly everything came up with 0s.

great way to start the new year Facefucks.
 
ditto, i took down my FB campaign for a while. Will wait for the dust to settle. Quick Tip: Detect mobile devices and send users to a nice mobile landing page.
 
if you click into individual campaigns from the menu on the left they still load. then select Today's stats only, and a lot of the time the do come up.. works especially well if you simultaneously punch yourself in the face.

The discrepancy in clicks is between the FB performance reports and what my aff network is reporting.
 
Anyone have problems with intl clicks from fb? e.g. I target USA but according to my stats only roughly 80% of my clicks goto the offer page and the other 20% are redirected to other international offers. It pisses me off that I have to pay for those worthless clicks
 
Are you guys seeing high suggested bids on new ads? I haven't pushed on FB for about two weeks since I paused everything for my vacation. I'm looking at the suggestion bids right now and they seem pretty good. On a highly competitive dating demo, the suggestion bids are Suggested Bid: 0.72 - 1.09 USD.

Either way going to get my ads up today and see if I'm replicating the problems I've been reading on here for the past few days.

The suggested bids seemed to have almost doubled for me while I had them paused for about the same time frame.e
