Suggested bid too low. . .

Not sure how this is possible but FB will not give me traffic at the suggested bid example if FB says .10-.29 as the suggested bid and I decide to use .10 as my starting bid, when I check on it an hour later or so i have the yield symbol telling me to raise my bids WTF anyone else experiencing this.

Also, what would you recommend as a good start point for bids on fanpages with a demo of say 2-4 million people ?

the suggested bid you see is based upon your ad account history.... I sometimes see suggested bid in the usa at the 12c mark.....

If you suggested bid hasn't changed from the .10-.29 mark, then up it to 50 cents, and go up 10 cents every hour until you start seeing traffic, then let some clicks flow in, and once your CTR is up then start slowly dropping your bids

suggest bid was .12-.29 (this range has definitely gotten me some volume before and has gotten my clicks down too .02) so I wasn't getting the impressions instead of marking it up to .5 and then seeing if I got impressions I jumped it to .22 and when i checked 30 minutes later I had exhausted my daily budget (granted is was only $20). Seems like facebook isn't making much sense for me bids that have worked a week ago aren't working and replicating the formula that worked for me before isn't get anywhere close to the same results I have went from earning a dollar for every dollar spent to losing 50 cents or more for every 1 spent. . . . last bit is more of a rant
