Just curious.
I read this thread about SPY tools already.
The recommendations are: What Runs Where, Mobile Ad Scout, Box of Ads....
I have chosen Facebook as my first traffic source.
My questions are:
1.) Is this a good idea? The newbie guide recommends picking ONE traffic source for experimenting for a few months, but I am curious if this is a good path to go on.
2.) Are there are any SPY tools for Facebook ADS? The above tools seem like it's only for mobile, popups etc...
Thanks
1) Do you want to run whitehat or blackhat campaigns?
2) in what geo do you want to run?
There are some spytools. But a lot if them only have english speaking ads.
1.) White hat
2.) United States
Regarding Blackhat vs. Whitehat --- I am new, so is it a bad idea to implement Blackhat techniques etc? What are the pros/cons?
Sry to jump in here, I don't have much experience with blackhat FB ads, but here's my thought on this:
as a beginner, you should always start running whitehat campaigns to get an idea how things work, learn the systems, etc. This is true for anything, not just FB. Take SEO for example, a noob will use GSA SER to blast thousands of links to his main site and will get penalized instantly then cries that blackhat doesn't work. An experienced guy will now you'll never spam your main site, instead you blast your 2nd tier backlinks which will then point to your main site. This is just an example, as I have some experience with SEO. But it applies to FB ads and anything you can imagine.
With backhat comes both advantages and disadvantages. Pros: get higher ROIs, much faster. Cons: you'll get your account banned if caught and as a beginner, you won't know how to cloak it properly, so there are big chances to get caught.
I suggest going entirely whitehat when you start, then as you go on, if you start to learn how the systems work (approval of ads on FB, for example), you can go a little grayhat, stick to that level some more, learn some more, then if you feel comfortable, go blackhat. I'm sure there are guys here who can explain this from their own experience with FB, but I'm pretty sure the idea is the more or less the same.
