No Impressions On Facebook (11)

No Impressions On Facebook

Started a new campaign this morning and it was approved at 6:18am (est), I received about 2100 impressions the first 30 min or so and then nothing and have not received any since about 7:00 am. It is now, 9:09 pm and no impressions, reach, etc.

Tried contacting support, but no response to my support request. Anyone else having similar issues today?

Not trying to ask a stupid question, but how do I get that burst? Could it be the time of day I started the ads, (people at work and not signing up for games, dating, etc) or is it simply not having the right ad/image up yet?

From my experience, new ads get a chunk of traffic. If they get clicks, they get more. If they're duds, they get put on the bottom of the list. I may be wrong about this but thats how it seemed to me. Option a is to start a new campaign. Option b is to jack your bids up but thats never a good idea.

you got the burst that was the 2100 imps....fb will throw about 1500-3000 imps (at most) at your ad.....no clicks and your ad stops showing

Time of day has something to do with it but i suggest you read these posts.....

Best way to get a burst is to set your campaign budget to 100,000... not joking
