Meetup 202 Vancouver link

This log randomly shows demo information for 500 clickers. I’m not gonna lie, its pretty pimp.

It allows you to see the following:

• Height
• Body Type
• Hair Color
• Search Type
• Marital Status
• Has Children
• Wants Children
• Smoke
• Drink
• Income
• Country
• Religion
• Education

So, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out this is some valuable information.  Thanks Markus for adding this.  We still need some suggested bids / demo size

Plenty of Fish Ads

I took some screen shots and will go through it. Basically you register, log in, and end up here:

Pretty simple and straight forward.  You can see any recent activity, look at campaigns, and check if anything was updated company wide.  POF made it so one company can have multiple employees who can log in, I like that.

Click on Manage Funding and you will end up on this screen:

This page does not work yet, but it looks pretty simple.  You have to pre-pay, and Canadian residents will pay 5% tax.  You can set it to auto fund.

The Create a Campaign page looks like this:

Pretty standard, choose your bids, running dates, frequency caps, daily spend.  A lot of people have told them to add day-parting. hopefully they will.

The targeting is what makes Plenty of Fish stand out from some self-serve advertisers. Notice all of the options:

You can really pin point down to a demographic.

One thing that may be lacking is the Reporting.  As you can see below it looks like it will only show a date range of impressions and clicks.  The system isn’t live so I don’t know for sure, but hopefully there will be some more options.

Overall it seems nice.  It will most likely be saturated to shit, but the strong survive.  Check out Plenty of Fish and try out the Ad Manager for yourself.

Read the full post and talk about it on Wickedfire

I decided it was over, no more sneaky stuff for me.  I’ve decided to be 100% compliant with Facebook terms.  Ever since, things have been looking better.

Moral of the story, the Facebook gravy train is over. Find a legit offer and run it, there is still money to be made.

I have work to do, and its more important then socail presence online.

So, I will be droppin some no bullshit info soon just need to finish some stuff.

Happy am’ing, and remember to checkout meetup202 in vancouver next month.

(Did this from phone)

This is the new main screen:

Facebook Ad Manager Main View

As you can see, they changed a lot.  Most noticeably is you can edit multiple campaigns and make changes on the main page.

Editing Multiple Campaigns

You can select check boxes, click edit, and make changes to campaign settings to multiple campaigns.

This is the new “Campaign View” in Facebook ad manager:

Campaign View

Again you can make edits to multiple ads. I am lazy, and didnt want to take more pics and edit them.

Summary:

• They made it so you can edit multiple ads/campaigns at a time
• They made it harder to navigate
• I don’t know where anything is
• It isn’t much faster
• I liked the greasemonkey script more with the old ad manager

This isn’t in-depth, and overall it doesn’t seem worth the changes unless they add dayparting.

I do things the complete opposite as him and have varied results.  Read his post, actually, read his whole blog.

Now happy ad clickers can ‘Like’ an ad.  I for one think this is a neat idea, but it wont change anything.  There is no dislike button, so we cannot be “penalized” and if we are rewarded by ‘Like’ing our ads it wont be by much.  Users are stupid, they will like anything with a pretty picture.

Take a look at what the update brings:

What sort of bothers me, is that they made it show the ‘Like’ button on the Ad board. I don’t see the point of it, and some less then admirable affiliate marketer could abuse it more easily.

Edit : I didn’t see the X, so there is still a “dislike” button.  I am pretty stupid, so if I don’t see it my main target audience might not.
