PoF ... WTF????

[ThePresident]

Alright just started some PoF stuff, any input on these stats...

On the 6th I ran the ads in prime hours explaining the higher
CTR/being a fresh campaign.

On the 7th I ran the ads through the whole day.

Today I wake up and see this, 16 clicks and a half a million
impressions. Where does this nose dive out of no where come
from? I mean a CTR drop of 97%?

It was killing things before I went to bed, and this campaign is
based outside of the USA so it wasn't early AM clicks. Also my
Frequency Cap was set at 5.

Just kind of in a mist of confusion here...

I received a full refund this morning

 

[benzing]

got my refund too ....

 

[canucksfan19]

yup, they took care of it for me as well

 

[wickedjugg]

Me too. POF rox!

 

[jsmbiz]

they did for me too yesterday...But am i the only whose stats are off(each ads ctr & impressions delivered #)...

 

[ThePresident]

yes my lifetime stats got thrown a bit off, but that isn't that useful to me anyway. just look at it by daily.

 

[wickedjugg]

Okay so I got my refund but my conversions were shite after that.

Am I the only one?

I've paused all my campaigns for the time being.

My CTR went to shit. But yeah just paused.

 

[jsmbiz]

Yeah me too, ctr aren't as good...so are conversions. Is it relvted to PoF's issue...i dunno! I made some conversions today, but some campvigns that used to do well didn't seemed to pickup at all today. Just seems like i could be 1h without seing any clicks, the next hours i'll have plenty...Maybe normal, but if i compare to the past weeks/months, wasn't really like that

But as they say...Tomorrow is another day, let's hope to see all things back to normal!

I'm sure they will get the bugs sorted fast.

I'm showing no clicks in the POF Ads interface but clicks are occurring as they're getting recorded on the other end. Can't speak to conversion rates as I'm running a new offer but there's definitely a reporting error with their interface right now.

 

[heb09]

im getting shit ctrs on some campaigns, and normal on others. I'd say they are still working out some issues.

 

[wickedjugg]

Ben, can you enlighten us on this so we know when to unpause our campaigns?

Or are we just going to be refunded at the end of all this?

If so I'll unpause my campaigns and set my budget to $5k per day buahahaha.

J/k.

 

[BenPOF]

LOL Wickedjug, don't forget the $5k CPM!

The behavior of the ad platform is normal. However, the competition on POF has shifted since the error, due to many people pausing their campaigns, changing CPM's... whatever. So this will influence the performance of your campaigns (your bid, all of a sudden being one of the top bids and a ton of impressions coming in.. for example).
