Question on CPA Ad Networks & Facebook

by writeboywrite

Ok,

Question for savvy Facebook marketers here. I've tried a few ads that got a good amount of clicks using Facebook CPC ads.

However, when I go back to the CPA ad network (AdWork Media), it doesn't show ANY of the clicks generated on Facebook.

So, I don't know if the cloaked link I was using is not working correctly, or what exactly is going on...because Facebook is running the ad, and I AM getting clicks...so....

If you have experience and have been successful with Facebook marketing, I'd love to get your thoughts on this.

Thanks!

    How many clicks are you missing?

    And yes, it could be your redirect/cloaking messing something up.

    Facebook has a metric ton of bot clicks for all its ads these days, so if you're getting some clicks but not seeing all of them, it's probably because of that.

    Yea probably a cloak foul up.

    The worst bot report I saw was one company claiming over 90% of their clicks were bots, they used a custom tracker that noted whether the 'browser' had javascript enabled, apparently the bots have no javascript despite it causing FB ads to not render in a browser.

    Whether Facebook is turning a blind eye to some sort of runaway malware or is more directly involved in the fake clicks, they are making money from them. CPM on Facebook might just give you skewed tracking stats but no fake click charges.

    There are like bots as well, if you have ad social interaction enabled you might be dinged for like clicks that don't generate visitors.

    Can you tell us more about how you are cloaking your links? I'm worried this might be the issue.
