First profitable CPA Campaign with FB ads (15)

First profitable CPA Campaign with FB ads

I quickly gave up on the POPs tutorials and moved to Facebook. Really could not be arsed building mobile landers and sorting all the tracking. I now have my first profitable FB campaign doing 100%+ ROI.

Problem is I'm only spending $20/day, need to scale x10 but shitting my pants that it stops converting

FB ad leads to a native style prelander for a 3rd tier COD offer.

Any advice?

Hard to give advice without knowing more.

Is this a compliant offer?
If so, my advice: stop shitting your pants and start testing higher budgets.

Also, how much are you tracking within FB Ads?

Raise your budget

If it's a compliant offer, duplicate the ad set with higher budget.

Are you using the FB Pixel? Is this a conversions campaign?

The latest from Facebook's Live Q&A on FB ads is that if you raise the budget by 50%, the algorithm resets learnings so you can also try increase budget slower.

BOLLOCKS! Whole AD account banned already Obviously it wasn't compliant lol - Noob mistake not reading all the Ad guidelines, the offer was a stop smoking product.

The frequency with which you get banned if you follow the rules is very low. The issue comes when you routinely try to game the system and have a past of BH activities linked to your account(s).

This includes unintentional bait and switch tactics on the landing/offer page so if you have an approved ad, then change the lander later on to make it more aggressive (but still compliant in your view), you could get screwed.

Ouch! Everything regarding health is a touchy subject on FB. From eye lasering to bad knee creme. Did you get a policy violation message?

And this is why pops are recommended to get started. Less compliance issues and relaxed rules.

Sorry to hear that but that’s why we asked it if was compliant. What’s your plan now?

Pops are full of bot traffic and chrome doesnt allow them anymore.

There’s bot traffic and you need to filter them. True.

Chrome doesn’t allow them? False. The correct statement is Chrome doesn’t like them.

That doesn’t mean pop traffic doesn’t exist within Chrome. In fact Chrome is the biggest browser to get traffic from pop traffic thanks to their market share.

it is tough when google chrome keeps blocking your landing page and you have to keep switching domains every couple of days.

any way around this servandosilva?

maybe FB is the way.

good job on taking action dollarheist. keep moving forward

No policy violation message, first noticed 'ad management' was missing from left sidebar then saw ad had stopped.
