Nooby on FB needs advice about Dating (13)

Nooby on FB needs advice about Dating

Hey guys,

I need your help. I never had problems with creating fresh facebook accounts cause of my cracking experience with adwords. However, after I read that facebook slammed the ban hammer on the most guys I thought it might be a good time to get into that Dating niche on FB. I've got two accounts with an overall daily budget of 2500 $. I already got some ads with pretty girls approved but I'm not able to get some real good CTR.

I started at Germany with following audience:

Men 18 - 30, Single or Not assigned

Yeah, that's it, no interests etc. (I was a bit scared that I get slapped but already tested that even with interests they approve it)

I had a terrible CTR of 0.042 % ... (CPC ~ 0.32 $) The chick pics are fine, I know that they're working cause I saw them for several months on FB. I guess it's more the boring text and the "not" targeted audience. I tried to target some interests like Single or Chat but threw that new #hashtag shit I was only able to get an audience of like 180.000 what is pretty low.

So what to do? How to find big interest audiences which fits my dating ads? Or just work on my ad text to get higher CTR and try other chick pics?

Work on your pictures. High CTR's are def. still possible.

So no targeted audience needed?

Kiss your account goodbye if you're not targeting males > single > interested in women parameter. The ads will get approved at first, but will get retrod later, with high possibility of account ban.

Wait can you guys still get ads approved on FB for dating? I always get an instant not approved publisher etc. Is there a workaround that I'm missing?

They're probably cloaking. But yea FB has officially banned Dating

"I know that they're working cause I saw them for several months on FB."

maybe the images are burnt out by now and you should come up with your own ads. But yea just keep testing images, it's really that simple.

If you are willing to cloak the ROI is there, however you better have a cost effective way of acquiring Facebook accounts.

I just need to know, your successfull campaigns... did you target interests or did u just made general ads which were targeting single men without any explicit interests?

Just so you know that all my NEW accounts are getting banned as soon as I'm uploading female pics - doesnt matter if I'm linking to a dating offer or a charity. Its like they've almost banned using female pics for any niche at the moment.

Why don't you test and find out yourself?

I've had experience in the past with both. You can't generalize if interest targeting works because you need to know what keywords to interest. Interest targeting might work for affiliate A, but not work for you because you're not using the correct interests when targeting.
