Another newb's Facebook thread...

[roman8389]

Contributing to the flooding of the newb section with FB threads. Disclaimer: I searched for these questions already and didn't find a clear answer.

1. Can vouchers be used for aged accounts ( >1 month)? Or only new accounts? If only new accounts, then would my new account be banned for using the same billing info (including CC)?

2. To clarify: When speaking about targeting with keywords, that refers the keywords that are in the user's profile, correct? In the Interests, etc. categories?

3. I see people talking about CTRs that are < 1% being good. Of course it varies by niche/offer/demo, but should you not worry if the CTR is, say, 0.3% or 0.1%?

4. Targeted offers to lower-traffic groups are better than broad, high-traffic groups, right? So it's a matter of having lots of low-traffic campaigns as opposed to a few high-traffic campaigns?

5. More ads = more traffic? Or is there another way to scale up? Or do you eventually reach a plateau with no room to improve?

6. Prosper (free) works with FB right? You just put the Prosper link in the destination URL?

7. Are rebills and email submits the only types of offers that are banned (assuming you don't want to risk cloaking)?

8. Possibly the dumbest question: Where do you get the images for your ads? Google image search, pay for stock photos, hire a designer...?


Appreciate your time and help. I'm looking into FB while my Adwords account has apparently been under review for the past few days.

1. Pretty sure it's only new accounts, but somebody correct me if not. I've been told that applying a coupon is like flagging your own account so you probably don't wanna create a new account with your same card and then try to use a coupon for it.

2. Yeah, at least that.

3. You don't often get and keep a CTR >=1%. I would say 0.3% is, in general, pretty good if it maintains. Somebody once asked about the average CTR of ads on FB and it was suggested that it's gotta be under 0.1%. Obviously depends all on how relevant it is to your targeting.

4. Yes, and usually.

5. You mean like 10 copies of the same ad? More ads wouldn't really give you more traffic.

6. Yep.

7. Rebills can get YOUR account banned. Email submits still appear all the time. You almost have to cloak no matter what it is. They have strict regulations on downloads, dating, and pretty much everything else.

8. Google images OR STEEL DEM FROM DA AD BORD AMI RITE??????????///////// No that's horrible, don't do that.
