How to track facebook ad?

Sure can, Prosper/Tracking does it perfectly.

But I would suggest to bypass Tracking 202 and go straight to Prosper as Tracking 202 does have delay/server load issues with so many people using it. Setting up a Prosper server will cost you the price of a .info domain, say $5 tops.

Feel free to post any specific questions you have regarding the tracking of FB ads as there are many of us here who can help you out.

You can use prosper, or use Google analytics. Much better anyway.

Actually i am kinda of lost now.
I am a newbie, trying to get into cpa network and intend to use fb to promote offers from cpa.
But it seems like most of the people here are using ppv to promote cpa offers.
Is fb ads suitable for cpa offers? if yes, what kind?

Prosper is fine but I don't like that it doesn't track costs for you. You can't run a campaign if you only have part of your data, (the conversions).

This tool: Social Ads Tool does it all, tracking, reporting, automatic bid optimization based on either CPA, ROI or Conversion Rate. It's the best Facebook Ads Tool I've ever used. It's completely hands off once setup. It manages your campaigns for you.

For sure JP, I'd say FB is one of the first places you should try promoting CPA offers. You can test a lot of offers fairly cheaply without losing your shirt.

Just be prepared for the inevitable FB ad rejection. It totally sucks but we all face it and there are heaps of threads here to guide you through it.

As for what CPA offers to promote, dating on FB is one of the easiest if you're just starting out but again, heaps of threads here to help you there mate.

But again, if you don't have your tracking setup, you're throwing darts in the dark and will be pi$$ing your $$ up against the wall.

Get Prosper, Tracking or Bevo setup before you even contemplate a campaign mate. If you're really stuck, hit me up on Skype and I'll help ya through.

Perfectly if you update all your costs manually. (at least last time I looked at it, I could be wrong now if they updated it within the past year). When you create a campaign, you would enter a cost per click. They'd use that as the number for calculating all the other numbers, (profit, roi etc).

However you might be bidding say $0.50 and enter that into p202 when setting up your campaign, BUT in reality you could actually be paying $0.36 per click. So you can go back and update that keyword individually for that avg cost per click or you can leave it at $0.50. It's not going to be completely accurate, so you're not using accurate data to make decisions, unless you manually update the numbers.

Their pro system addressed this issue by doing api downloads of cost data. That gave users 100% accurate cost data for every keyword. But that version was not free. I'm not sure if the pro version is still out there?

That's what I mean by not tracking costs for you. I should rephrase that to, it does track estimated costs, but if you want real cost data, you are on your own to update it that way manually. That's a lot of work if you have even one campaign with 50 keywords.

Other tracking solutions can get the cost data automatically which is a huge advantage.

Prosper202 definitely works if you're just doing basic Facebook campaigns. If you are split testing like crazy, and running thousands of ads then a more automated solution.

SAT is definitely a solid solution. We had some troubles getting the conversion tracking to work at first but it's all fixed up now.
