[Help] How to create Facebook ads for Instant Articles

[puneetas3]

Hey BHWers some help needed. How can I create Link click ads for Instant Articles? Any help is appreciated.
I have selected placement as mobile, platform as Facebook Feed. I have excluded the following audience-

Behaviours > Digital activities > Internet browser used
Facebook access (browser): Chrome
Facebook access (browser): Firefox
Facebook access (browser): Internet Explorer
Facebook access (browser): Microsoft Edge
Facebook access (browser): Opera
Facebook access (browser): Safari

Behaviours > Mobile Device User
Facebook access (mobile): feature phones

Included these-

Behaviours > Mobile Device User > All Mobile Devices by Operating System
Facebook access (mobile): Android devices
Facebook access (mobile): Apple (iOS )devices

and these-

Interests > Additional interests
Facebook for Android
Facebook for Iphone

But still traffic is going to my website instead of instant articles. IA are live and published/working. Both site and IA has google analytics code to track traffic. Basically trying to target users using FB APP in smartphones and tablets. Any help appreciated.

I have over 200K+ page likes. The instant articles were approved by FB itself (I never applied) and communicated to me a year back. I am a big advertiser on FB ads. I have already submit the 10 sample IA and got them approved and live. Each of these articles have enormous engagement like 10K-15K+ likes, 400+ comments, shares etc.

I have tried opening the links shared on my page from FB app and it opens in IA, however, when I created link click ads for the same post, the traffic is going to the site and not the IA. Site is over 2 years old and 1200+ articles. This is the first time I have made IA live in all this time. Any help is appreciated.

Most likely the monetization is disabled on your account. My IA has a same problem too!

IA placement is disabled. Only feed ads is enabled. Is that right?

Monetization is enabled in IA and working (displaying ads in IA), also getting impressions in monetisation report and few cents. But that is from my own impressions while checking the IA in FB. None from fb ads user.

Also this page is owned by a business account. Does that make any change? Thanks all

Most likely it's a bug, Report it here - https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/

Got to know from a fb page that fb is intentionally not allowing paid traffic to IA (used to do it before). I will still contact support. If anyone sees a IA opening from a sponsored post in recent times, do update us

Facebook recently disabled that.. there is nothing wrong, just make the ads by boosting posts, followed by published IA ..

Do you mean boosting post, instead of creating ads for the post works for sending traffic to IA?

Make a post on one of your pages, and check with yur mobile if it's Instant.... then go to ads manager, start creating the campaign , when it comes the stept to choose what you promote you have to choose that post from that page.

no, boost regular posts, to engage more people on your page, they will be able to see more of your ia in their news feed.
