It wasn't capped and wasn't shut down entirely, so I must have screwed something up--just have no idea what. Lesson learned for sure once I figure out what I did
Just another update: looks like I fucked something up
I don't know why but I got shut out of the offer and can't promote it for now (hopefully just temporarily). I'm not sure what I did wrong to trigger this or if my leads just weren't backing out or what... I'm going to try to start up a diff. campaign but we'll see what happens I guess. Just updating for the fuck of it.
my guess:
Your offer accepts 25+ and you're running ads with a demo something like 25-40. Since you don't have exact age match checked you are actually getting a good 10-20% of 'underage' traffic that doesn't back out. Or I could be way off ...

Shit. I can almost guarantee this is the case. Do you think I'll get a chance to fix it :/ I hadn't had this happen before so I didn't even know to look out for it, newbie mistake.
depends on the network, your relationship with them, and their relationship with the advert. There are a lot of 'rouge affiliates' that will jump from network to network with crap traffic so they always have to look out for that. If you explain that it was an honest mistake and ask what demos back out well and if you can try again on a small cap with those demos (far above the lower age limit and maybe try to mix in some female traffic ect) they will most likely give you a shot.
+1 man, really appreciate it, I'll try that. Working with my AM to try to see what the problem was exactly still but I'm almost positive that was it. Sucks to get a campaign going only to have it pulled out from under you (my own fault though).
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kaveman again." shit.
Eric,
I'd like to say don't waste your time scraping ads to see what everyone is running and gathering data from other people's campaigns until you figure out what is profitable. Your time is better spent making your own campaign, testing offers and a shit load of images to find the ones that get you insane ctr. This weekend I had an ad doing .876 CTR for a few days until FB found it and disabled it. It's a matter of resubmitting and resubmitting until they get through. Hell, they don't even have to be a chick in a bikini bent over backwards sucking on a banana pouring milk all over her. Just keep pushing images with a lil bit of cleavage and you'll be alright. Our cpc was .02 over the weekend and we were just dl'ing to dating.
If you start testing a few offers, try them on other networks. You will see that they convert differently due to a variety of reasons (different tracking platforms etc) but you'll find one that just converts like crazy.
Stay strong, no question is gay. In theory, yeah an offer should convert out of the gate given your demos are more or less on spot and your tracking is good. If you're sending clicks and not getting any conversions, it could be some of these reasons:
1. The offer is ass
2. Your demos are bunk
3. The network has already reached their cap given by the advertiser.
Don't let it discourage you though. Just set your campaign to start earlier than usual so you can get in on the conversions.
That help?

+1, that helps a lot man. Don't even know what to say, just going to apply exactly what you said really. I grabbed the free FB uploader so I'll try getting way more variations up (around 100 or more) and test out some new offers/new offers on new networks too. Solid as fuck. Thanks again.
Kind of related to this thread but I am facing a similar problems with my dating offer I am trying to get my CTR up and had it to bout .05 and can't make any progress I have ran out of pics to go through...anyone have any suggestion's on where to get pics more specifically of black guys or black couples ?
