Facebook Reach from 1,200 to less than 20 in 24 hours?
-
I created ad #1 in facebook ran it for a marked time frame. Target audience 1200. Reached 248.
Created ad #2. Wanted to test it against ad #1 for same audience, but now Facebook says the target audience is less than 20 people. Huh?
Facebook can't be loosing people that fast.
Why would this happen? Is it simply a glitch?
-
Weird, what was the area if you don't mind asking.
I have seen Facebook be a bit buggy with ads recently, but all the campaigns I have done usually target very large demos and broad groups I don't do niche targeting.
My advice is to wait a week, try some new ad creative i.e. new images and what not and see if any changes happen. Or you could even try running the campaign off another account from the business.
Kind Regards,
James

Ouch... No. Pest control isn't that sexy.

Thanks Thomas. I quietly sneaked in a few days ago.
Is 18+ a requirement for your ads? The reason I am asking is I recall an incident where a gaming facebook page lost thousands of Likes overnight. What happened is the game officially became rated as 17+. The next day facebook removed all fans who were 16 and under. I am just wondering if anything like that could affect your ad campaign.
-
I am using the sponsored stories so... maybe my influencers un-liked us, but my likes are still showing the same.
-
BTW.. when did you make guru status? Very nice. Congrats.
-
No. 18 and older.
-
Absolutely sure. I even tried upping the miles around the city to see if I could grab a larger audience.
-
Out of curiosity would your ad be targeted to people under the age of 18?
-
Are you absolutely sure the demographics are the same? With a target that small, one factor could make a huge difference!
-
The difference happened after 24 hours. So I ran it yesterday for a time block. Was going to run it today for the same time block. The ad reached 248 people. The next day... the audience is too small.
Could it be that the audience X the ad? Is there a way of knowing when this happens?
Just tried again and the count is still down to 20 people.
-
My guess is this has to do with potentially two factors: (1) The reported target audience is an imprecise number and (2) the number was recently revised based on newer data.
This is only my guess, I have no hard data to back this up.

Facebook Share from personal wall to fan page
Is it possible to share a post from someone's personal FB wall to a company fan page if they have the permissions set to allow this? I often get a message that a share was denied and I'm not sure if shares from personal to business fan pages are always denied or if this is controlled by the person's privacy settings.

WordPress plugin for Facebook login and comment
I've read the WordPress reviews for several plugins that support FB login / comment, but the reviews are generally mixed. Even the plugin developed by FB received terrible reviews. Can you recommend a WP plugin that supports FB login? Best,

Facebook comments plugin moderation
Hello I am trying to integrate the Facebook social plugin http://developers.facebook.com/docs/...gins/comments/ into my website. So far I have included the HTML 5 code in my site and it is visible, but how can I moderate the comments before they are being posted? I have included into the header of the root of my site but when viewing the comments area on a page within my site I cannot see any moderation options? Hope this makes sense and someone can help Many Thanks

Facebook "like" discrepancy
This is a pretty stupid question sorry, but hopefully it is easy to resolve: Both OSE and Woorank list our site as having 17 Facebook likes. The Facebook icon on the page shows 92 likes. Our Facebook Page shows 560 likes. Where is the 17 number coming from?? our page is: http://www.GoldMaxUSA.com/ Thanks, Jason

Facebook Account Architectures (Pages, Groups, etc)
I'm looking for help with how to setup/manage a community on Facebook. Here is the scenario: You have a bike store owner. Out of the store he also organizes different biking training groups, for people who want to be able to meet certain personal goals. These groups like to interact with the other members inside their groups, but not across groups. Does the following architecture make sense? The business would have 1 Company Page. Then for for various different training groups, the company admin would create Facebook 'Groups' which allow for interaction amongst members that way. Does that make sense? Or is there a smarter way to do this? It seems like this isn't very unified, because there could be a bunch of different groups. Is there a way to set this up inside the business' page itself? Any other thoughts?

Like my Facebook Page or my Facebook URL?
Like many other companies or company has a site and a Facebook page. With the Facebook like button your can either specify a url or a Facebook Page. So I don't know what would be better to get more 'likes' or if I need both? My thoughts: More people liking the Facebook Page then we can post updated to more people that will show on their wall. More url likes, I think this might have (or will have) effect on search engine rankings. The more people that like your url the higher it could be in rankings. I don't really want both as most people won't go through the trouble to 'like' both plus it is confusing. Please let me know your thoughts or strategy.
