NEW Facebook Ads
- Thread starter Jon
- Start date
I'm new to facebook and PPC as a whole. I want to get my first campaign off the ground manually before investing in any automating software; that and I kind of don't have $200 bucks to spend :xmas-smiley-016: But its definately going to be one of my purchases soon.
In other news, just got 38 of my ads pertaining to one offer disapproved. I didn't think survey type offers pertained to "get rich quick" but I guess they do. Sucks cause the offer showed promise with earlier conversions. And I understand how dependent on the reviewer you are. My earlier ad copy from like 3 weeks ago was approved, I changed the landing page, but nothing major (actually had 3 different LPs and 3 different angles I was approaching the offer at). But everything disapproved. Guess thats why you don't really see survey offersI think I'm just going to scrap it and do what alot of people recommend to newbies; stick to something that everyone knows works on facebook. EDU leads, gaming, dating. So far what I've garnered:
EDU - Longer form obviously, would generally require more investment for research.
Gaming - Often low margins, high CTR is a must for success
Dating - Very competitive
I'm rambling now lol, but overall its been a good waste of 20+ hours of work making LP and preparing the campaign. Oh well, you learn.
Nice seeing people from close to where I live, I'm on the Island (Nanaimo)
Ahh I see, yea you're much better off spending that money on your ad budget for now. I don't even want to get into how many ads of mine they've disapproved in the last two weeks, it's ridiculous.
Nanaimo huh? I'm thinking about hitting up Tofino for some surfing this weekend.
my most profitable FB campaigns have been trials, so dont listen to what everyone says
But yes, don't see any point why not just take more paying offers, all in all it's all about CTR and cheap clicks(which includes good targeting), got that good enough and ads approved - you profit. Not good enough, you will see it after 10k impressions if not earlier for each ad, that is whole testing IMHO
P.S. You can spend $100 on that tool, but if you don't know about it or don't even realise, continue playing with game ads

thanks bro...so should i stick with my cpc campaigns and never replicate the to cpm?
FB said lately they give more impressions to CPC bidders
so cpm is death right now?
Are you talking about "Create a Similar Ad?" That's what I usually do. Take your best performers and copy them into a new campaign.
Also, I keep forgetting to ask, but does anyone here use Facebook's Conversion tracking??
Seems risky to hand them over that data. On the other hand it'd be nice not to have to keep going back and forth between Tracking/Prosper and FB.

But that's a whole new ad, whole new approval, and stats set to 0. Doesn't that jack your shit up?
Well, by my testing not quite true, also they may said so, but you will get decent imps with CPC only with GREAT CTR, in other way it's pain in the ass and may even stop.
With CPM I tested lately, just give it a budget, run from CPM without any optimising and within 10 minutes it was like 250k imps !!!! on $250 budget, CPC was 1.2 dollars though ( and CTR like 0.02 or so. Sucks, but they did give me a lot of impressions, it was my mistake to test so, but at least I know the truth now
UPDATE: Not sure if anyone else got this, but Facebook just sent me a satisfaction survey. They are gonna get reamed. If any of you have received it, be sure to fill it out and let them know their multitude of shortcomings.
Can't say for sure one way or the other. My experience? No. But it's such a fucking case-by-case basis.
I took one well-performing ad out of a campaign of 30 and let it run in its own new campaign. It got approved very quickly and started off well. It eventually deteriorated by the end of the day - I'm not experienced enough to say whether it was a success or not, as I made a profit, but that dwindled by the end of the day. It could've just run through the entire demographic and that's what cause the CTR to drop and the CPC to rise.
This was on CPM btw.

I know it sucks! I am going to put aside for a while the cpm stuff and stick with cpc until things changes
Do you guys ever have probs with users reporting your ads and getting them terminated? Its so easy for them to click to buttons and have all your work gone just like that.
