NEW Facebook Ads

dude wtf? usually i get everything approved on wednesdays lol. it's like my lucky day on fb. saturday and monday i usually get shit disapproved:costumed-smiley-087

FB crashed earlier that day and it was being real buggy. As soon as I made a campaign, I got it disapproved. Nothing on the ad side of the site would load. They also charged me for paused campaigns as well, and it was a random sum of money too.

I send at least 5-10 emails to FB bitching about their lack of consistency so I think they know me on a first name basis now lol. I plan a campaign ahead by a day cause I know for sure these fuckfaces are gonna disapprove. I even have stock emails ready lol.

Yeah, my campaigns are super slow right now and it's extremely targetted too. I had to raise my bid by over 15 cents and slowly brought it back down to get even 15k impressions.

Are you guys targetting keywords for dating? I've found that you can get impressions REALLY fast by utilizing keywords. Too bad they didn't convert well for me but at least I know the eyeballs are there and they come fast. Almost too fast if you aren't prepared to lose money (like me). Back to making more ads I guess.
 


It's not dating. I have my ads setup for 3 different keywords and various demographs. First keyword is around 20k, 2nd around 33k, and the last one is 60k. I've paused the ads now, I will try again tomorrow. All my other campaigns seems to be running fine though.

with a demo that small its a good chance others are overlapping you and bidding much higher or nobody has gone on... who knows
 
Is it just me or are FB ads at almost a dead standstill? Is it possible to have your account "FB slapped"...? wtf is going on over there.

lol i was thinking the same...
got a new campaign up today and the suggested bids ranging from $0.12 ~ 0.26
I'm already bidding 35 cents and 3k budget, not a single impression...
 
Suggested bids have dropped low as hell but not seeing any impressions. Either their system is fucked atm or maybe there were a few huge Holiday buys? (ie. blockbuster, Chase, etc.)
 
hey everyone... check ur ad boards... when u see 3 ads.. then refresh and see full board.. then refresh see 2 ads... they prob having problems... thats why you arent seeing impressions... although a friend of mine has seen 8 million so far
 
Non-dating ads get impressions in a heartbeat, within the bid range. I think I got like 200K impression in less than 5 minutes on a non-dating US ad.


When did it happen, this week?

are you talking about the ad board or ads on profile pages?
 
It's been 3 days and still nothing from the billing dept. The fuckkkkkkk. Anybody know the email directly for billing or should I keep sending through that stupid form?
 
I love the guys complaining about getting no impressions - probably doing dating. Who is FB is going to show preference to? A seasoned FB marketer with 5k+/day adspend, or a $40/day newbie?

You got it wrong, I'm far from being in the latter group. No dating during the last few months either.
 
Impressions are down across the board (not just dating) because a couple big companies are purchasing lots of adspace for Christmas.

The same thing happened over the summer when TNT purchased a large portion of adspace on Facebook for around 1 week.

It'll be back to normal once holiday season is over.
 
This is why January and February are my favorite months of the damn year. Plenty of inventory available.

On a side note, I'm getting impressions fine =/ Not doing dating though.
 
WTF
