CPA and Facebook

by Agoge Warrior
9 replies
Hey guys,
I've been at IM for over 2 years now and want to learn to master CPA.
To start off, I'm interested in using Facebook ads as my traffic source.

I've already been accepted at MaxBounty and another CPA Network, Clickbooth I believe it is.

In ya'lls experience, what is the best way to set up CPA offers using Facebook Ads? Direct linking, Fan Pages, Landing Pages, etc?

Will Facebook allow me to direct link to a CPA offer from the ad?
Also, I've read some good things about setting up a Fan Page but am I allowed to link to the offer from the Fan Page?

Or should I send traffic from my ads to a landing page?

MaxBounty won't allow direct linking from the ad itself. The AM suggested I set up a landing page. At least for the 1st offer I wanted to try out.

So it appears it depends on the CPA Network. But I was hoping to learn ya'lls experience with using Facebook Ads and which methods work best!

Thanks guys!

    FB ads really makes you money if you use it the right way. I found it very profitable with dating niche. You can direct link but you need to cloak the offer link. they are really tough on ad approval so you want to make sure that you are following their guideline.

    With FB ads, I send the traffic to my landing page that has an opt-in form to build to my list. Then I send them followups. this strategy helps when you have the money to spend to build your list since you won't make money from getting subscribers but that list will be your gold mine forever.

      Just curious about the type of opt-in form you use on your landing page.

      Is it through an auto responder service or a form you build on your webpage like a gravity forms type form.

      The reason I'm asking is that I've created a large list of people who gave their name and email to vote in a contest - but I had no terms and conditions for them to agree to - I'm wondering if I have any right - without violating spam laws - to send them follow up emails. This is the first time I haven't used Aweber.

      ----------

      Also - doesn't FB monitor complaints from users who notice your CPA links and report you to FB?

      Isn't it possible to have your pages deleted and even your whole FB account removed - if sending people to CPA offers in anyway violates FBs T&C's?

      What kind of landing page do you create that gets past FB Ad department cube warriors?

      Do you switch after-the-ad is approved to something else?

      Thanks

    On FB you direct link, use simple landing pages or capture leads. Of course, there can be limitations on the network's or advertiser's side, but FB allows all of these.

    What happens is that FB doesn't allow certain offers or certain types of offers, which is the main reason why they reject ads.

    Just read their guidelines and respect them and you will be fine:

      Thanks guys! I appreciate it. It looks like pointing to a landing page is the proper way to go.
      I have read some have been able to get away with pointing to a FB Fan Page. With the Fan Page linking to the offer.

      Is that true or possible at all?

    Yes you can gain fans on a fan page and then post status updates with either a landing page or direct to offer and it works quite well if you do it right. You can also add an opt in form on the actual fan page to build your list as well

    Split test between direct linking and using landing pages on facebook, that's how i made my first money.

    These days facebook can be pretty hard but i'm sure there are plenty of guys who are killing it there

    If you want to make money on FB with whatever method you really need to target small groups.

    Lots of ads so you can find that small group of say 100K or whatever that just plain converts.

      Yes FB is good for very specific niches that also related with social niches.
      Social targeting works on FB
