Hi guys,
I need some help with spying.
I would like to see some cool ads. Social Ad Ninja does not really work. At least it does not show me those viral stuff.
One friend of mine set his profile to women 41, clicks a zillion of ads. And gets the right stuff, on his mobile.
The problem with my fb account is: "You have used up all your birthday changes."
So yeah I have to create an account myself.
My plan:
- Visit a zillion of ecommerce pages+websites
- On mobile
- Be a woman 41 plus
Questions:
- Do you guys have any experience with this?
- Is it ok to take a banned account
?
Anybody knows best practice in this?
Are you specifically wanting help with engineering your own personal account to see the type of ads you want?
Or do you just want to see particular ads by whatever means work?
On Facebook at least, you can't guarantee this and don't control it.
You can like certain pages and be in certain interest groups, have certain age/gender/location parameters, but the auctioning system is complex.
Imagine that every time you load the news feed that you qualify for 5,000+ ads to be displayed. The auctions will take into account peoples bids, your accounts likelihood of certain actions (which will effect your relevance to bidders), probably basic anti-fake account flags, etc.
You can do this and you will likely see ads, but you'll have trouble seeing "lots".
I would test out a tool like AdsVantage or similar as well.
The idea you have isn't so bad, you need to "teach" FB what kind of ads you want to see and it will keep delivering similar ads. As long as you're an active user you'll see them coming.
The keyword is consistency. FB knows what you're interested in based on your activity in their platform so just keep feeding FB with your ongoing activity.
