Facebook Ads Generating Foreign Clicks

aminur · 10-25-2011, 06:54 AM

Hey warriors,

i have a quick question, i am running few campaigns of facebook right now. all on USA demo. The thing is when i log in to my cpa account i noticed i have few foreign clicks and i was thinking ok it happens.

But yesterday i noticed i had all together 21 foreign clicks. The offers the clicks has been redirected to was brazil, italy , netherland.

What the He** going on.

Any 1 has similar issues?

cheers

How many clicks are shown in facebook stats?

In my experience I sometimes get around 1-3% of clicks from the the countries which are not targeted.

well total clicks are matching with maxbouty and facebook. just ot hapy with the clicks generated from foreign countries because at the start i was paying 0.35 a clicks.

Happens with me too. Highly untargetted clicks. May be, for CPA networks it is untargetted.

Yes aminur, FB targeting is not 100%.

Many of the people make fake account on facebook particularly girls from USA though there was a boy behind and vice versa and Your ad is showing to U.S people but might be someone from Foreign countries is taking most of the offer and when he clicks on the ad he'll be redirected to the offer from his country! Hope that helps LOL

Sorry pal i am kind of confused what you are trying to say. If i'm targeting usa that's means only us people see my ads. If they show my ads to Holland ( example) and people click on it that will obviously take them to a different landing page by redirect.

Thats not cool ini, it's ok when you are getting 5cent clicks but it's not very nice when you are bidding real high and getting crap clicks. O well..

I have got one of my FB account from U.S though i'm not living in U.S but the ad's which i'm getting is usually targeting USA Claim your Kfc Coupons but when i clicked on that it'll redirect me to the offer which will be available in my country. Because Facebook is showings ads to the demographics you set, targeted people though they won't check if you are living in US or not! This might me be the reason of getting international clicks!

Unfortunately targeting by country isn't 100% accurate on any ad platform. Does you network show these clicks?
