Major Problem! Spends only a Partial amount of budget (29)
Hey,
So in the past week or so, I have been having issues with FB.
So I, with my brother, made several ads on several accounts, but it only wastes $100-$200 out of the 500 budget! Not even close to the full budget.
The CTR is decent, even tried mobile only.....
My ads sometimes almost don't get any impressions! (like stuck at 5, stuck at 2 etc).
I would REALLY Appreciate if somebody can help me out with this, and thanks upfront!
Thanks
Been having this same issue, until today when impressions stopped altogether.
I switched over from CPC to oCPM and still have yet to see any traffic coming through.
New type of soft ban perhaps? What type of ads are you running?
I have the same issue for a few days. I would say some kind of bug. I'll try to run the same ads on another account, curious what will happen.
Hmmm another one... if it's happening to many and on different types of ads, different bidding modes, countries, demos etc. then perhaps it's a bug that has coincided with the campaign/advert set/adverts restructuring.
So what's the solution? just wait?

Seeing allot of odd shit the last few days. For some reason when targeting a fan page tab as the destination I can no longer get the headline to show. You use to be able to get the headline to show as long as your image size was less than a certain LxW.
The directions even still show the warning about the headline issue, I am not the only one seeing this as per numerous skype conversations.
Welcome to Facebook amirite?
FB will always be fighting certain advertisers, but I've never had such of a big issue. Hopefully can get it solved a.s.a.p, really have no idea why this is happening, tried multiple stuff, would you suggest anything zenno?
Seeing a similar issue here. I can get ads approved, but nothing will spend, even likes campaigns. Not sure if it's a soft ban, or if it's a system-wide issue.
If it's just a budget/spend issue then raise it from $500 to e.g. $750 at the start of your advertising day then watch it like a hawk.
Doens't work zeno tried.
Maybe it's because it detects that similar numbered prepaid cads work? I've used these prepaid cars before they worked fine though, but numbers are similar.
I have had my ad online for about 5 hours. I used a prepaid amex, $50/day budget and a fresh PVA. Still 0 views. Has anyone had their ad get clicks after having this happen?
Has this gotten ironed out for everyone? Having some weird spend issues going on, wondering if its still to do with the new update/rollout

Having huge issues here too. Barely any impressions, and budget is set to $500 per campaigns. CTR is good, impressions VERY low, and frequency is high.
I've been having a similar problem for while too. What I found that works is to make all your camps at once, let them get approved, wait 5-6 hours for volume to come in, THEN DON'T TOUCH THEM FOR A FEW DAYS. If you tweak anything from budget to the creation of new ads the volume will stop again for a few hours....
After about 2 weeks this problem gets lifted from my accounts and I can create ads like normal.
It's a pain in my ass but it's the only solution I have come up with, hope it helps you.

I stopped advertising on FB all together for this very reason. Their estimate of impressions are complete crap too.
I'm experiencing something else. CPC is the same, traffic quality is way down... EPC that is HALF of what it was 2-3 weeks ago (and was steady for many months), and Prosper now filters 50-55% of FB's clicks, when previously it was closer to 30%. My earnings have plummeted, this is over multiple accounts including new ones I launched campaigns on yesterday. Man this sucks lol. Today is my first loss in like 2 months... I don't even know where to begin to look at this... I've had the same system in place for months and it definitely looks like FB changed something in the last week or so...
Between these constant changes and the hunt for new debit/credit cards, sometimes I just wonder if I'll make that jump to 100% mobile sooner.

Are you saying your tracking is picking up less clicks from fb? It seems like I am paying for clicks that aren't actually coming through or something. could be my tracking though, but it was the same for weeks now seems like 20-30% less
^ Over the last year, if FB gave me 10k clicks, only 7k registered in Prosper with the drop-down option "show real clicks". When I changed it to "show all clicks" (this includes perceived filtered/bot), it would be like 9.8k (close enough to 10k). This is why I always counted my clicks as being 30% more expensive than FB said they were. 2c clicks were 2.6c, 1c were 1.3c. etc.
Now, the ratio is much worse. I'm sure it will get better... I can of course get refunds for bot clicks from FB, but as soon as I send them a request they will review and most likely ban the accounts! The price of doing business.
Welp, I just paid $35 CPM for a newsfeed ad. Optimized CPM you so cray.
Use my trick its over $9,000. Put budget $9,000. That's magic number. Trust me.
I was in the same boat. I was getting such garbage EPC's from the offers I was convinced that FB had a bot clicking my lander then clicking my offers. It was redic all last month how hard it was to back out due to terrible EPC's.
