Facebook Over Reporting?

I'm getting a really high percentage of bot traffic right now.
I hesitate to make a big deal about it only because I don't want facebook's solution to break shit worse.
Give me an IP exclusion tool and be done with it.
And does FBSpy seriously fucking hit the PPC link?

My traffic was pretty close to on point last night. I think FB said I got 703 visitors and network showed 698.
I can't check right now (proxied at work
(sadface x2)) but definitely getting traffic - I'll have to check tonight when I get home and see if there's a big difference.
Thank you for pointing this out.
By the way, did you give it time to update? Sometimes I notice a somewhat large swing - just a thought.

If it does that's seriously fucked up. I often wonder actually how much money you spend on a webmasters clicking your shit, I reckon it's a lot more then on AdWords...
Traffic on an ad that's been paused for a few hours now(so the traffic has time to catch up)
Facebook Says: 364
Prosper Says:280 (real) 293(all).
Were you direct linking?
I'd bet if yours was direct linking, it was matching up because DT still gave you the hit since most bots can follow a redirect, but not execute the JS necessary for an LP. But who knows.
An IP exclusion tool on your end is meaningless if you've already paid for the click.
Never thought my tool would get this much coverage.
It 100% DOES NOT follow the link through to the LP. It only copies the link. If you choose to click on the ad inside FBSpy then yes you'd go just as if you had click the ad inside Facebook yourself.
Not sure if someone mentioned it but facebook will charge you up to 5 times per user per day, assuming someone clicks your ad 6 times you will be charged for 5 clicks.
Also i send over 30k clicks a day from facebook and my stats look fine so I'm not sure what's happening with everyone else, perhaps the time zone difference is throwing you off?

As far as I know P202 will not count multiple visits from the same IP within close time frames. So if the user clicks on the ad twice, only 1 hit is counted in P202. Where as Facebook counts and charges for both clicks. So all those fuckers looking at your ads on the Ad Panel are costing you $$$.

Yeah but P202 recognizes those clicks when you show all the clicks.
You're lucky yours are fine, I'm looking at a 30% or so discrepancy over the past few days over P202 and facebook stats. My P202 and Facebook are set in the same time zone, so that's not a problem.
I'm sending thousands of clicks a day too, so this isn't a case of facebook says 10 clicks but my prosper says 8.
same thing here... they say 60 click were sent. My tracker or subid tracking on the network sees only 70% of that - MAX.
I have a custom tracking script and it tracks total clicks on the ads (not just uniques) and does not use js at all, and my numbers have always been between 10-15% off from what FB is charging me for. So even accounting for bots, they are def. over reporting.
