New POF Ads Platform Isn't Bad. Declined Ads Though :(

Hey There,

First let me say that I think the new platform is great. I love the CPM bidding path you made and I think that for a beta platform, the admin area is not that bad. However, let me throw down a bunch of bugs I found.

1) The credit card expiry dates remain the same and default to whatever you put in there first. Even if you try and change it and retry the card, they revert back.

2) I tired THREE different cards in the account, not one of them worked. They all have a ton of room and are up to date. For a beta platform, if you want people to try it, you should make sure the cards are going to go through. You need to add in some more info in your HELP section for proper credit card procedures.

3) My first campaign and ads were declined. So I guess we can't sent traffic to a parked page huh? lol. Maybe you could add in some more info on policies, not just the massive TOS you have at the regular POF ads help doc.

4) When creating the ads, it doesnt actually show the preview image until you click contunie. There' no point in having a preview without an image there. When I clicked the image preview logo, it went to a dead page. When I clicked back, my whole campaign was gone.

5) The postal code does not chnage it default back to the first postal code that was placed in.

6) I am using IE7 for all of this.


So this is all constructive criticism :) I want to get rolling with my account, but it would not accept three different cards. If you want a first hand point of view with the bugs and improvement areas, the POF guys (I know you read this) can hit me up with questions and feedback.

I'd be happy to beta test further for you. Just tell me why the CC's are not going through and why my ads were declined :)


Thanks!
 


Seeing the same as kingrage.

I got the $100 credit, set up my funding and added another $100 myself. When the new ads server was running on Tuesday, it showed my spend around $30.

Woke up today in the at -21.59 :-/

Hoping that you guys already know about this problem and it'll be reflected in the account shortly.

Thanks!
 
Looks like traffic has started a little bit. Going to try and resubmit those ads that got disapproved for no reason yesterday
 
A lot of the ads are only showing up by themselves with no second ad under it, or the ad box loads and it is blank (this is from the user's perspective)
 
One really important piece of the interface missing is that you can't really tell how much each campaign/ad is costing you without doing the math. And I'm not sure if the impression/clicks are even accurate.
 
Money just keeps disappearing from my account... I'm not even running anything. What is happening? I understand this is a beta but having my money just disappear is fucking ridiculous.

Edit: Markus reached out, issue seems to be solved. Thanks!

Me too. Account balance has dropped $40 today yet it only shows that i have spent $1.48. and even that has been up and down all day.

no one has reached out to me...
 
I think the system telling you how much you have spent is messed up... because I did the math on what I would have spent at my cpm bids and it matched the drop from my $100 pretty well.
 
Is anyone seeing impressions but not actually receiving any clicks? My male demo ads show over 50k impressions total and not a single cilck (from POF or my tracking). That's just not possible no matter how bad the ad is.
 
Billing stats for yesterday weren't updated till today. If you look at impressions * bid you will get to the right amounts.
 
More credits would be very appreciated by many people including me I am sure. They would really help out getting used to the interface, what works/doesn't, ect.

I'm seeing poor CTRs as well. It's more like 20k impressions|15 clicks.

Markus is this an inaccuracy or the actual click through numbers? Also, is there a way to have campaigns go to pending approval without having to deposit every time?
 
Click bots already? There is no way these two ads are getting this good of CTR.

Delivered: 74
Clicked: 15
CTR (%): 20.270%

Delivered: 70
Clicked: 22
CTR (%): 31.429%

Something is clearly up here, any ideas?

EDIT: I just had a conversion, is it actually possible these are real? Must just be impression lag...

Are you that dumb? Look at your tracking.
