The Curse Of Facebook!

marktheonlinesurfer · 01-05-2011, 07:53 AM

Hello fellow warriors,

I been spending a lot of time in the CPA section of this form and have to say it is paid of a big time!

For that I am very grateful as this is the first time in years I am actually making a profit when it comes to internet marketing, ever since I focused on CPA.

Okay now on to my problem........facebook advertising......

I rely on facebook as my main PPC platform to promote my CPA offers.

I have been able to get a decent ROI thanks to all the help from this forum, especially this part of the forum....

Now, here is where it is getting tricky....I am hoping u can help me out with this.

I am not getting enough impressions with my facebook ads. It is really strange because I am making sure I am bidding within the suggested bid range facebook sets and in fact at times I bid even higher, however despite that my ads are still not getting any impressions.

They get very few or no impressions and this makes it impossible to test or scale a campaign.

However, some campaigns seem to get the impressions, but the new campaigns I been starting the last few days are not getting the impressions, even though facebook approved the ads.

I think I read somewhere, that it is normal to get a lot of impressions in as little as 30 minutes if you set the bid high? Not happening with me.

Any ideas on how I can get more impressions on facebook?

Much appreciated.

Mark

Heres a neat little trick I picked up on FB:

Run your ads OUTSIDE business hours and on weekends, meaning after 8pm and Saturday+Sunday. You can get away with paying 1/3 of the normal bids

Any questions just let me know

Add more keywords.

Add more related keywords.

Let more demographics see your ad.

Thanks guys- I am just still wondering how to increase the number of impressions you get!

For some reason I am not getting enough impressions even though I am targeting a sizable audience, with likes and interests, etc and am bidding within the CPC suggested range, in fact on the upper scale.

Any thoughs?...

I think the trick is to stop direct linking and try email marketing!

Yes, I completely agree with this.

Use FB to build a list, huuuuuge list.
Promote CPA offers to your list more and more and more.

Here is your money.

I'm using AdWords currently but I'm definitely gonna switch over to Facebook PPC when my account balance runs out with AdWords! Seems so much more profitable.

- Get a higher CTR
- Get people to "like" your ad
- Make more ads
- Try different demographics
- Try different times of day

Making more ads is usually easiest though and it's also a great opportunity to split test.
