Facebook Ads get approved, then standstill

11 replies
Hi,

I'm using website conversion template with a conversion pixel and all. My first ad I created has been the best so far, but it's starting to slow down. It's a newsfeed ad and it's doing pretty well - conversions like no tomorrow.

My targeting is almost always the same - the only thing that changes is probably the gender and this is because I'm targeting the Philippines. Things are very different there.

So, I duplicated my champion ad, it got approved, got like 200 impressions and then has been standing still ever since. It's on autobid for conversions. I've since created about 4-6 variations (even a few right hand side ads, the thumbnail sized ones) and none of them (except one RHS ad) has gone past few hundred impressions.

What's going on?
Please remember, I'm on autobid for conversions, so it's not like we can think "oh, maybe I'm bidding too low"

Thanks!

      What world are you in buddy? Facebook Ad doesn't sound like Internet "Marketing" to you?

      I'm not talking anything social, I'm talking ad delivery on an ad network which Facebook also happens to be in addition to a social media website.

        You could argue that it should go in PPC or Social Media, but it definitely didn't belong in Main Discussion.

        When someone tries to be helpful, you might want to be a bit less touchy about it. Just a thought...

    Your bid is likely to low. Up your bid and see if the ad starts to be shown within the next few hours.

      How would I know what bid is a better bid though? Because otherwise I'm shooting in the dark here...

      Thanks guys!

    The mistake was "social media" forum. I assumed her meant a real social media forum and not a social media _marketing_ forum cuz then that would make sense.

    M'mistake, apologies to the helpful person above.

      Actually, I think the mistake was that you were an a$$hole to somebody that was trying to help you, try being a bit less touchy less time - okay cupcake?
