NEW Facebook Ads

fb has been really gay this week. my traffic has been like cut in half, changing bids didn't do anything either. guess fb doesn't need monies right now....
 


bid prices have gone through the roof this week. I have some ads with .3 CTR that I'm having to bid 0.40 CPC or more to get impressions (1 million + demos). I really don't understand it.
How do you manage to target 1 million+ demos and not be so generic that Facebook stops showing your ads due to super low CTRs? I haven't been able to come anywhere close to a 0.3% CTR (or even a 0.1% CTR) on a 1 million+ demo.
 
WTF is going on with FB.
I just created a new campaign. i turned it on and spent $50 in less then 1 minute without any conversions. with other search engines my conversion is about 15-35% with FB its 0% and the money was gone in 1 minute.

That's not a facebook problem, it's a problem with your ad, your LP, your targetting; it could be one of many things.

I target only the U.S. ages 20-60 at $0.50 as per FB suggestion. Do i need to include keywords? i am new to FB and its driving me nuts.
 
You just gotta keep practicing. Test, test, test. New ads, lps, new demos, etc.

Facebook is not like a vending machine. You don't just put in money and leads come falling out the little door at the bottom. You have to work for that shit.

If you don't target your ads by adding keywords etc of course you're going to lose money. Read all the Facebook links here: http://www.wickedfire.com/affiliate...-trove-2008-articles-posts-you-need-read.html Then actually implement all that stuff. Please don't clutter this thread with more stupid questions until you've done that.
 
Instead of making a new thread, I decided I'll use the existing FB one!

How come I have ads that have their own static title: ie: www.trackinglink.com/t2020blahblahbalhb&kw=hot-broad-1

Most times the ad will show up in my T202 as "hot-broad-1" but randomly throughout my conversions will show up as people's names that were searched: "Tim Jones" converted etc etc

Anybody know why this happens?
This happens to me too. No idea, so I just started using the ads function. It ads about 1 minute to every ad variation, but it avoids that problem.

Searching "Tim Jones" on Facebook
Search | Facebookq=Tim+Jones

Searching "Tim Jones" on Google
Googleq=Tim+Jones

tracking202 is made for search engine so the user's inputted keyword is being prioritized.
 
I have a different rep, doesn't matter though, they don't do shit anyways.

Everyone stop whining, redesign, resubmit, profit.
Yeah that's the easy part. The hard part is getting them to split the damn charges amongst my CCs! :angryfire:
