Wacky Conversions with Facebook Ads

by Sour
7 replies
I've been having some pretty bad luck with my all offers (all gaming).

Yesterday, I was getting about a 15% conversion rate for awhile then it just stopped, and now the same thing's happening today; I got about 3 conversions from 30 clicks followed by a 150 click dry spell. I even had a friend sign up and download the game but I didn't get conversion.

Am I doing something wrong, or am I just unlucky? I really don't get this. If I was getting a normal 10% conversion rate, I'd be doubling my money right now. My friend is promoting the same offer, and he's going through the exact same thing I am.

    sorry to hear that... give your stats some time to update. In the meantime find the same offer you are promoting but on another network (even if the payout is lower) then sign for that network and start a new campaign. Start a new campaign on FB and by the time you are done with all this, your stats will be updated and you'll be able to see if your first campaign has been shaved. If this is the case then lets hope your new offer doesn't get shaved by the 2dn network.
    Contact your affiliate manager and tell him about your friend sign up and give him the date and time. This is not cheating since it still counts as a referral.

    Best wishes!

      The stats are real time, and I'm already in a few networks, but so far this is the only one I know of with Atlantica.

      Well, we were both converting just fine before it started screwing up. We probably sent about 500 clicks from the both of us that went conversion-less (different ad copies, images, etc). And how does that explain my test conversion not registering?

    The more you focus on what you want, the more you'll get what you want.

    A little birdie just told me that they're having tracking problems. This is great news; I feel so much better . Just thought I'd let everyone know who may be having similar problems (Atlantica Online).

    What you need to do is make more campaigns with the same ad and target different demographics. You may be hitting males 18-21 that's getting your good conversions and then all the clicks and no conversions are coming from females 24-32 or something like that. Find what your conversions are coming from and you could have a really profitable campaign.
