What does this mean?

Incomplete Ad: Your ad has inappropriate or missing targeting.

The same ad was approved on FB first try. My targeting on POF was basically an age group and not equal to anyone having any kind of higher education. Nothing was missing as far as I can tell and I'm not sure how that's inappropriate. How do I resubmit without recreating the entire campaign? I made changes and saved them and it still says declined.

Not all offers are offered in all countries. So someone in the UK might get redirected to something completely non-related to the ad. Double check and let me know? Ben@pof.com
 


Yeah, that's what I did. It was late. My fault. Thanks for the suggestion. I just created a new campaign to resubmit.

Actually, I guess I'm not retarded after all. My United States targeting disappears every time I update. I made damn sure it was there this time. My ads keep getting disapproved because the targeting is missing, but it won't hold the update on my targting. I will email you.

Looks like it was an issue in Opera 10.10. I switched to Firefox and it stuck just fine. Just a heads up for anyone using Opera.
 
This is disgusting. Just got this message back from Sender: Benjamin @ POF

Hey "Myusername', we don't have plans to put day-parting in the system. If this changes, you'll know. You could set your spend to "evenly" so that the daily spend is split up into 24 chunks (1 per hour) and you'll end up spending less during sleeping hours, which is then balances by spending more in awake hours.

So basically they are trying to make people spend money in the sleeping hours, so they can make a few more pennies, besides trying to make a customer friendly service. I mean come on Ben, you couldn't even respond to me on the thread? We get stupid useless graphs, and less "must have" options, seriously its a shame when a company doesn't care.

veneficus, fb and myspace are bigger then pof and they don't have any scheduling so I don't think it's anything special with POF; although it would be great for advertisers if it were added. It would be pretty easy to make something for yourself to pause ads that you could set up on a cronjob. I did something like that for myspace ads awhile ago and posted about it here, it was like 20 lines of ruby code.
 
Here's a PHP script (uses cURL) I just wrote you can use to day part your POF campaigns. As for settings, just set the first 4 variables (pof user and pass + login form user and pass) and your campaign ids. It's quickly thrown together, so don't whine about the code lol.

MARCUS:

I've brought up the gay targeting before and am addressing it again.
I know a lot of people are doing dating ads are targeting males, but a percentage of those males are gay and will not click on pictures of sexy girls. This pretty much means we're wasting our $$ on impressions to the gays. PLEASE add the gay/straight targeting option.

I asked Ben about this and he said there is a very small % of gay members on POF. But even if its a 5%, 5% means that we are loosing 5% on wasted impressions.

It would be nice if you could ad the gay targeting option. Hope you can do this!

If we show them enough sexy lady pictures, they will turn straight.
 
Ben, are you guys not approving ads today? I sent you an email earlier, because some new variations of ads that were approved very quickly yesterday, are awaiting approval since last night.

Let's keep the money moving :)
 
gay traffic is under 1%. Its actually in the system as search type 11. So in theory if you select male and exlcude all search types ie dating etc listed in the interface it would work. This was a hack i'd done in the old system and when transferring to ads.pof.com i never changed it.
 
POF is turning into facebook, the same ad in the same bucket gets denied but the old one is still running. How is my image appropriate yesterday but not today?

Sounds to me like you either have no idea what your doing and just blind copy people hopping it works, or you have no account rep... FB ads is still making great conversions and is way more stable than PoF.
