NEW Facebook Ads
- Thread starter Jon

Are you guys able to start campaigns at a decent max.bid that is low and slowly bump it up to see impressions? It seems like in order to even see a CTR of a campaign I have to throw on a huge max.bid whether it be CPC or CPM. Than I take the loss and hope my CTR was high enough to lower my bid and still see impressions. Isn't a very optimal gameplan... lol.
What bidding techniques do you guys use when first starting a fresh campaign?

not necessarily what everyone agrees on though. I've heard many people say to start low and creep up .02-.03 chunks til you see impressions. I think the high bid for a quick CTR is definitely the way to go though. Kind of sucks when you go woops just spent 200$ in 5 minutes on a LP that doesnt convert though lol.
Do the following:
1. create the ad in a new campaign and set the budget to $5-$10 depending on what you are running, etc.
2. jack the CPC or CPM wayyy up like $2 a click
3. once the ad is approved you should get slammed with traffic up until your $5-$10 is spent - it should happen quickly
2. this will establish CTR at which point you can lower the bid and jack your budget to 100k (assuming your 5-10 bux shows a CTR you are happy with - otherwise abandon the ad and start over.

or if you dont have a spare month for split testing and have some balls jam 50 of the fuckers into that campaign and set the budget to $100-$200*
*allow an extra $100 for vodka and cigarettes for yourself and your bitches while you wait for the ads to get approved and then press refresh furiously and drunkenly adjust the bids (danger Will Robinson its smokey in here!). There is also an advanced method where the girl leans over the keyboard with you behind her, but I dont want to confuse you at this point.
+1 drunk
I put up a set of ads on FB drunk only once... I found out an hour or so later they were linking to a picture of me on facebook. GG.
There were clicks.
Jeez Facebook is screwed up right now. I am taking a look at 16 year old males living in the US and I see a whopping 2 ads! Just 2 and they both suck.
I am sure you guys will see different when you check, but damn. How the fuck are the supposed to make money showing 2 ads.
Haha...also found only 1 ad for 18 year old males in the US. I got generic profiles setup like the average person no doubt.

well. I fucking have some GLORIOUS news...
My account .. i created over 200 new ads last night. All of them went in and were approved (surprisingly .. some were sketchy) and today -- before i redirected the url I made all kinds of dupes of the already approved ads (different demos etc etc). EVERYTHING GOT DQ'd over and over and over... So i decided to just run the ads that were already approved. Had bids up to as high as $2.00 and got 0 impressions ... just like many of you. So I decided after getting owned all day I'm going to pause. I paused my ads between 3:45-4 PM PST ... and went on to try scaling the offer on ysm,msn. I went back into my fb account about 20 min ago to try to get the dupes approved now (since last night it worked at night as well... only makes sense yeah?) ... I log into to find EVERYONE OF MY FUCKING ADS TURNED ON .. running .. EACH AD GROUP REACH DAILY BUDGET .. ripped through 2k between 530-9 PM from my 202 stats ... HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE ... I'm 200% SURE I POSITVELY PAUSED MY ADS AND literally ... an hour after -- they're on and not only on .. GETTING FUCKING IMPRESSIONS .. millions.
I know your thinking .. who cares you got volume .. well 5:30-9PM PST IS THE WORST TIME TO RUN THIS FUCKING NICHE .. if ur running it and testing right you knwo what im talking about.
TO TOP THIS MATTER OFF EVEN WORSE. 800+ clicks went to the offer .. and 0 conversions. 0 mother fucking conversions.
FYI :: LP -to- OFFER CTR = 82%
