The fuck is going on with FB right now? Instant disapprovals, billings for ads that aren't even running, site crashing. WTF?
NEW Facebook Ads
- Thread starter Jon
- Start date
Yeah same. I can't create any ads or view my existing campaigns. The whole thing is pretty fucked for me right now.
anyone have a contact that will actually get on phone with me or respond to me since I am supposed to remit payment before end of day tomorrow. I'd like to know how to actually go about doing that since I have no contact/nobody will respond to emails or phone calls (including their lawyers)
put the check in an envelope and go to your local fedex and ask them to mail it overnight shipping.
oh, the lawyer who contacted you should have given you the address to his office.
Yea, heard about it - apparently Neverblue's internal publisher team is killing it on fb :338:
That actually kind of pisses me off. I know they have their own internal team doing FB campaigns, but it doesn't feel right that my network is competing with me on the same offers, esp. since they get to see the aggregate data from all their affiliates so they can go in there and cherrypick campaigns and territories. Oh well.
Networks have higher payout, more offers and work directly with advertiser. It's not limited to just "testing" offers, mind you - they are pretty much competing with you by outbidding you [higher payouts], stealing your data [referrers, sub-id's, even creatives] and then fuckin you over.
That's the reason I reduced volume with a network I did well with. I don't want them to see what I do well on because they kinda know where I'm promoting my stuff.
A perfect example of this is the shitty tattoo toolbar offer from Globalizer. That network promotes this toolbar all over the web [everywhere you can think of, plus places you haven't thought of].
Here's what they do:
They get this new offer/landing page, then send it over to their internal pub team to kill it for weeks at every single at network all over the world. Once it's all rotten and stale, they release it to their pubs and other partner networks saying "Promote our NEW offer, converts 2x better than other offers!"
Once you try it, you realize that you've got the most horrible EPC's you've ever seen.
Fuck off Globalizer [and your net 30 payment terms - rofl]!

^^good info. thanks man, plus rep. I guess all that is a good reason to cloak when possible...?
Damn, I'm failing super hard today. More instant disapprovals and site errors. I guess I'll call it a night and send over an email to get this all sorted out tomorrow.
What a terrible day on FB, argh.
What a terrible day on FB, argh.
So today is kind of fucked for me too.
1.) I submitted a new campaign with a dozen ads last night, never got an email when they were approved (though they were, so no big deal).
2.) Zero impressions for the first 6 hours, and then barely a trickle up to now. In three and a half hours I have 600 imps across 5 ads and still zero on the rest. wtf? Now maybe it's something to do with using one of those $100 coupons on the account, but I was running ads fine for the last few days. Interesting to see FB has been dodgy for others today. Anyone else have zero imps on a new (non-dating) campaign today? Or an old one for that matter?

If your only bidding in the suggested amount that could be why. I've been having to bid roughly 4x the suggested just to get impressions for some of my campaigns.
