Facebook Ads Approved for 24 hours -Still no traffic or imps??

Set some KGB ads live yesterday, they got approved no probs but since then zero traffic or impressions regardless of where i set the cpc.

Baffled - prob just another FB bug, anyone else had this?

I haven't experienced this. However, I submit about 100 ads yesterday and they still have yet to be approved/denied. This is a lot longer than usual for me...

I find that ad approval does not happen over the weekend - I'm in UK and FB Ireland reps do the approvals.

With mine its like the ads are just hanging - i tried bumping to a $1 over the recommended cpc just to get some action and still nothing

I see. Good to know. I really need to focus on getting my ads up and running on the weekdays then. The interesting thing is that I know the ads were looked at (I can see clicks in my tracking software for each of the ads) however, it's been almost 12 hours since those clicks occurred.

Have you tried adjusting your campaign budget as well?

Weird stuff.

i launched some campaigns today, adjusted the daily budget a few times and lowered some bids like i always do. And impressions for all campaigns just stop. my CTR percentage is good, bids are normal and my daily budget is set high. and u just don't get any traffic anymore. wtf is going on facebook

@ Jay always set a high budget

@ Marco FB thread on WF - lots of people having issues like yours and mine with the platform at the moment it seems

^^^^
Just platform issues atm. My campaigns are completely out of order. I'll login 10 times in 8 hours and and see no impressions, then boom $400 spent in an hour.

You see clicks on your ad because sometimes it goes through a 2 step review process.

Still waiting for my ads to get any impressions - been over two days now since they were approved

I havent had any traffic in the last few hours for some reason, even from looking at my p202 install spy view so it's not just their platform. I've logged the impression count to see if those are increasing.

It will probably switch on again in one big rush while we're not looking!

That happened to me yesterday! Set my budget to $100/day or something, and it was spent in the matter of 2 hours! I was counting on it spacing itself out through the day lol

yeah, those campaigns i was talking about suddenly get alot of traffic... There is just something wrong noe with facebook.. hope it will be back stable soon.

Yeah one campaign of mine has been pending approval for
more than 72 hours now.

@ epic
What type of campaign, a lot of shit that's not 100% on the up and up is being heavily checked atm. I have 2 campaigns close to your time as well waiting for approval.

I got ads from Friday for KGB sitting approved that still have no impressions yet. Somethings not right here

^ To solve that issue just do a bait and switch. I did one 3 hours ago and my ads were just approved and seeing impressions (for KGB as well).

Not sure what you mean by this Jordan - please elaborate


03-01-2011 02:29 AM #18 stackman (Administrator)

^Getting traffic to those ads right now too.

What i mean is, instead up showing them your KGB landing page offer/referring to KGB in the ad. Just don't mention anything of kgb, and redirect your domain to any related URL. Once approved redirect your domain to the KGB offer.

@jordan my ads are approved now. Started with a healthy CTR at the start but dropped really fast, I'm
down to < 0.5% now


03-02-2011 03:47 AM #20 stackman (Administrator)

0.5% or 0.05%? Small target market your advertising to? Usually the reason for such quick CTR drops.

0.5% is really good :P


03-02-2011 04:18 AM #21 epicskillz (Senior Member)

Ah, 0.05% of course, my bad.

I'll be ballin' if I consider 0.5% a drop

Big market I'm advertising to actually, just sorted into 5-year age groups.

Ads came on in a big rush as expected.

Unfortunately happened when i had a system crash - fecking blue screen and then hours of hardware testing and roll backs to resolve (turned out to be spyware doctor messing things up fyi)

Now just discovered that FB has credited back money!
