NEW Facebook Ads

I do keep track of my clicks and cash mate and insta-paused all campaigns. Only a few trickling clicks on the following day and nothing to justify that kind of bill.

Yaxxx has given me the hook up with JI though, so hopefully I can get this resolved in the coming days.
 


This will sound like a newbie post:

But how do you guys go about dropping bids on CPC when you have a high relatively high CTR (0.20+) and not fuck up your impressions?

I've never really focused on CTR to tell you the truth, and still managed to make some decent coin by remaking ads everyday and taking advantage of FB's swarm of initial traffic they send you to determine your CTR.
 
You shouldnt have problems then :) never heard of this problem though.

you wait till suggested bids go down. then drop your bid to what you think will work.

When you see your suggestion bids dropping, that's when you should be more comfortable dropping your bid. I generally make sure I always bid 1-2 cents higher than their suggestion bid whenever I am dropping my bids. Works well.

Today Facebook has been approving my ads within 10-15 minutes. Good stuff.

Your post is a little vague but it sounds like you are CPC bidding. If you have a CTR of 0.20 it's probably a fuck load cheaper to bid CPM.
 
Has anyone experienced relatively low impressions and clicks throughout the day and then a ramp up of volume right near the end of the day?

I just got back into some fb advertising, and I remember having this problem before. I would get like 10% of my traffic for the day between 12am and 1030pm or so, and then the other 90% of my total traffic for the day would all come between 1030pm and 12am.

This has happened on different verticals, different bid ranges, but same account. My daily limit is $5k and my limit on the campaigns has ranged from $500 to $5000 daily.

Whether I spend $5, $50, or $4000, it always does the same thing, at least for the last 6-7 months or so.

Any suggestions? Is it possible that my account has a bad overall QS (as someone suggested)?

Sorry for being such a fb noob.
 
Yeah its been the same for me since months.

Is it a profitable campaign? If it is, try up the budget to 100,000. It helped some of my campaigns to ramp up impressions. What country are you targeting? Might be time zone.
 
Shit. They changed the ad limit back to 1000 ads per account. So gay they seriously need to make up their fucking minds.

Facebook is like this (atleast for me) keep tinkering with bids (up a bit during slow hours)
Definitely set your campaign budget really high like DirSP said.

If you set the campaign budget to $500, facebook will take some sort of traffic estimates and throttle impressions so you do can magically hit the limit. This is good is some aspects, but it will cause traffic fluctuations like you said.

It's not a time zone thing, i'm targeting US. I'll up the budget to see if that helps.

I don't think this is necessarily it, as I'm not getting close to my budget, but I'll still up the budgets to see if it fixes/helps.

My bids are not very high. Is it possible that because its the end of the day, either other advertisers have hit their daily limits, or maybe less competition then?

Thanks for the help so far.

I've also been told that their ad server tries to serve impressions based on what time of day your ads perform best in terms of CTR.
