WH SOI SweepStakes - FACEBOOK

Hi guys! If you have read my previous threads, you know I´m new here. But I know my goal and now its time to work!
This is my first follow-along.
Straight to business, its finally time to kickstart the campaign.
After reading loads of stuff and figuring out plan of action, the time has come.
The purpose of the campaign will be testing as much as possible and make efficient use of the resources and most importantly, time, to build a stable income and with that, some much needed confidence cum motivation!

Details:-

Target audience: After looking around a lot, i decided to go for Nordic, mostly Tier 2, countries. Flow - cpl (soi);
I have shortlisted 3 offers to test. All supermarket vouchers promotions.

The Affiliate Networks are ClickDealer & Gotzha!
Payouts are $4+ and €3 for the the other two.
Tracker : Voluum
Budget : 3500$
Landing Pages: I am split testing 3 landers with 3 offers mentioned above. All landing pages are basic survey styled,Walmart type. But they look very different are different versions.
I also want to thank @stickupkid and his resources, part of my inspiration!
Story so far:-

I am still setting everything up but I am planning to launch my first campaign later into the day!
First I must get some sleep! I will post here around same time tomorrow. Hopefully everything goes well! Cheers!
I am going to be posting here as much frequently as possible!

See you guys around!

Okay guys. So heres the update.
Day 0 :-Had to change some stuff so got delayed..long story short..
Day 1:- Launched 3 campaigns as follows:-

Traffic Campaign to Website.
Women - Age - 30-64
Accounts 3 warmed up with page likes.
Reach - 630,000
Running offer without a pixel.
Each FB account has 3 campaigns, Im testing 3 images/headline.
Each campaign has 1 adset, and 3 ads.

UPDATE : All accounts got banned.
First one :-
Got banned immediately as we uploaded.

Second one:-
Got banned in 5 minutes.(misleding)
because the display URL doesn't match the domain that the ad is sending people to.


So i decided to launch another account, without the tracker..
Got banned in 1 hour after being in review for that time.

Preparing more campaigns today, with different strategies.
You guys have any inputs? This is exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place!
I´ll update tomorrow with how things go today..


04-25-2020 02:09 PM #4 utkarshdwivedi (Member)

Back with the updates guys!
Day 2:-
Launched 2 Campaign on 2 accounts, same strategy.
Account 1 :- Voluum No-Redirect, No cloak, removed initial popup from the lander, changed carious text, made it more subtle and congruent.
Banned straightaway.

this ad contains or refers to content that has been blocked by our security systems

Account 2 :- Cloaked Campaign, with safe article serving as both the money page and the safe page.
Was in Review for 1 hour, and then it got approved. Still spending low initially.

My inference : If FB sees the lander, it gets banned. As simple as that I think, although I´m not a 100% sure.
So for tomorrow(or today, rather), I´ll be setting up 2 cloaked and 1 uncloaked campaigns.
Will update you guys tomorrow on everything!
Cheers!

Okay fellas, time for an update!

Okay, so like I mentioned, I launched 3 campaigns, 2 cloaked(tracker), 1 uncloaked(no tracker). The plan is to get the campaign approved through traffic on the safe page, then once its approved, switch the traffic on from the cloaker.
It might sound surprising, but all 3 accounts got approved.
Well, the first one got banned(uncloaked) but i got it back and now the campaign is running, with a spend of 2$.
The other two campaigns got approved as well.
I have just switched the money page on, 15 minutes before typing this.

Day 4:-

The plan is to launch 2 more cloaked, using the same strategy.
The differences would be in the ad copies. I have optimised the ad copy so that it is more subtle now, and would even more when I launch today´s campaigns.

Lets see how it goes!
Keep reading!

Time for Day 4s Update!

Launched two more accounts as planned. Both of them got banned.
1 account got banned after spending around $1 and on one, the ads got banned, no reply from the support.
Update on 3 accounts from Day 2:-
Here are the detaials.

ID:	23449
And this account got banned just a couple hours before typing this..
Bad numbers. A lot of optimisation needed!
LP CTR is way too low, but the initial data is too low to predict, but still it is very bad.
Time for some new strategies!

Day 5:-

The plan is to launch 3 more cloaked accounts, same strategy. No uncloaked accounts for now.

Loads of changes.
Couple of new landers.
Put another offer to split test.
Optimised the landers. And here we go. I´m all set to launch three more accounts.

Keep reading guys, cheers!

Lol at this thread being called 'WH SOI Sweeps'

So far, it looks like you're doing everything stickupkid says not to do.

Where are you getting your accounts from? They seem pretty crappy.

I know FB is cracking down hard lately (this is always true), but I've never had so many accounts banned so quickly.

Also, it doesn't sound like you're using a cloaker. It sounds like you're just obfuscating the lander by using a tracker and doing bait and switch. That will get you banned faster than anything.

Use a real, fresh, .com domain like supernordicsweepstakes.com or sth, don't use a tracker until the offer click, if that.

Otherwise, you'll be playing whack-a-mole for a loooong time.

Good luck

still figuring out the WH/BH part.
I wondered if I´d get problems like these running WH, and i did!
But I agree with you, the account quality is not great, definitely.
Also, the domain in each account is fresh .com.
Thanks for the advice ,much appreciated, I´ll be trying to arrange some quality ad accounts.

(Yesterday)Updates:-

Account 2:-
Link Clicks :- 91
CPC :-around 12 cents

2 conversions!

Total Spend :-124.38$
ROI - -90%

I decided to keep them running for another day.
Meanwhile, I uploaded 2 campaigns each, same setup, in uk and de.

I´ll post the stats with update of today later tonight, but it doesn´t seem too good so far..


05-03-2020 08:56 AM #11 utkarshdwivedi (Member)

Okay, so guys it has been a couple of days since i updated my posts:-
I decided to stop all the campaigns since i finished at -96% ROI
Total spend around - 200$
I was facing random clicks issue, so many extra clicks were being registered in Voluum, but not on the offer dashboard for some reason, past two days really have been some headache. But i must go on! I must act patient.
I took some advices here and there, I was feeling like getting lost. So I decided to pause the campaigns for a while, talked with affiliate networks, bunch of other people, and decided to run iPhone SOI as well as CC submits.
I quickly set everything up by 1st May & straight away started testing. I know, even I didn´t wanna go down this road, but it just felt like it.

Stats until today on two accounts running:-

iphone cc : ctr 0.86% & cpc 0.20 - Spent - $50.01


iphone soi: ctr 2.6% & cpc $0.7 - Spent - $5.89

The spent is including the warmup.

I am doing some major creative changes today and launching couple more accounts, now that some data has come in.
More stats tomorrow same time.
I have a feelings Im testing a bit too much, too early. So I am gonna be stable for a while.
