A Facebook Ad Software that can auto-create several ads?

I would like to automate the task of creating several hundred ads to split test with multiple images for an offer.

Is there any other software currently available to do this?

I know Facebook Ads Manager Tool got shutdown few months ago.

Facebook Ads Manager allowed you to automate much of the tedious ad submission
process saving you an innumerable amount of time. You can setup the toolbar to
make 1000s of ads and leave it running all night. Come back in the morning and
you’re set!

The Facebook Ads Manager sidebar had all the possible targeting options provided
by Facebook’s ad creation process. There are also several “extra” targeting options.

My FB Ads Manager is still working perfect. If/when FB integrates a solution, which only support the selected third party companies I will probably go with clickable.com. I tested it for 15 days and it seemed solid.

Hey dgeezie,

FB Ad Manager was the best IMO. I had no idea it was still working but I'll now be testing it tonight.

If your looking for an alternative i know this one is publicly used.

If you have a rep @ FB you can ask for a spreadsheet tool they have to create mass ads.

I asked my FB rep in Ireland for this (mass uploader) after seeing it demonstrated to a big seminar audience at AdTech London.

Despite my having a 100% clean account history and a fairly big spend record over the last three years, after checking she came back and said I couldnt have access to it "because the type of ads you are running have a chance of being disapproved.."

She went on to say in so many words that the manager in charge of the ad approvals teams were concerned that their interns would be flooded with ads many of which might be non compliant and their system would be clogged..

Frustrating is one way of putting it

Facebook doesn't like affiliates using their mass uploader or any 3rd party uploaders. They're currently pausing peoples advertising accounts if they think the advertiser is using a mass uploader. So be weary, only upload 50 ads per upload and I'd aim for no more than 200-300 per day.

yes, thats good advice.
I got a pal who presented himself as an ad agency, hes really an affiliate albeit a big one who works as a corporate entity, in order to gain unfettered use of the tool. I suspect they would see through that in time though

Agencies can get full use of the tool apparently

As I mentioned above, there are third party companies you can use, which FB cooperates with. One of them are clickable.com. They have a 15 days free trial. Here is a full list:
http://developers.facebook.com/adsapivendors.

As promised regarding Facebook Ads manager, this combi is still working pixel perfect for me:
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; da; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)
- Facebook Ads Manager 1.9.2

I know its not gonna help those who didnt bought a license before it went down. Those who has one already, try this combination - its working!

I found out about Facebook Ads manager too late before it was pulled.

the clickable.com one on that list is $499 per month! gonna swerve that one i reckon

there is another one on that list http://www.ad-sage.com/Facebook/ that looks pretty good, they offer a free version that allows 50 ads per day and an unlimited version that is $199 a year which is more like it.

Does still rely on you having permission from your Facebook rep tho.

There's a free facebook ad uploader tool at http://pofuploader.com/fb. I haven't used it yet, since I haven't advertised on Facebook, but I have used the POF ad uploader tool found on the same website.

I am using socialadstool.com which is only available if you are a member on ppc-coach(or if your monthly spend is $100K+). It really is a helpfull tool with its own tracking and automatic optimization. Its not a magic pill, but it can make your workflow alot faster(re-upload declinded ads!!!) and easier.
Just go to the site for more info.

(If you're interested in using this tool, you can use my afflink if you dont mind CLICK)

Browie informed me it cost 5% of your ad spend which is HUGE!

A lot of the time campaigns settle down after a week at 30-40% ROI. Sometimes for 3 weeks you don't upload new ads. So your paying them 5% (which could be $1000's for absolutely no reason). To take a cut of the ad spend is absurd!

You're right it is not cheap. But for me it really is a solution at this stage. I still got a day job, and so i can't check my campaings every time when i want.
So its easy to automate some things so i can let my campaings run without being afraid to waste my money.

and my monthly spendings are not so high , the tool costs me around $100 , which is less than the money i could waste if running campaings while i'm on my dayjob and unable to check stats and edit things

Yea its an untenable amount and a bit of a piss take really but they are after that continuity revenue. Its how agencies charge big clients to run their campaigns (% of ad spend).

I downloaded the free Adsage version from the FB list and it seems to work OK.

There is a debate on ppvplaybook on socialadstool which offered by ppc coach member, seem to me the master account, can access the sub account data, I'm not bashing of the great service offered by ppc coach, just that I'm not comfortable of revealing my profitable campaigns to them.

03-23-2011 01:52 AM #18 stackman (Administrator)

I'm using this one (mac version)
It's awesome!

re: socialadstool

yes - the ppccoach one uses sub accounts and therefore your data is visible.

i use it and some of the auto optimization features are great.
