This thread inspired me to flip my blackhat earnings and start pushing some FB Ads. I am using a CPA network i will not be naming and direct linking using .tk domains. I did check with my AM first to make sure that direct linking would be ok and he said it was.
So far the camps are doing ok. I am spending around 300 a day and making around 400 to 450 in sales a day. So I am profiting around 100 to 150 a day, not to bad for starting out. I will definitely be scaling this up.
Edit: Oh, and I did make sure to set the target audience to 18 years old and above. Not sure if that matters, but it seems like kids would just click on ads and waste my money. I will be testing a few of the geo settings to try and fine tune it all.
My Ads were disabled on my account. What i think happened is one of the offers i was running started to use an iframe breaker and fb's system caught it. This is what they emailed me back and said.

Damn it! I was running around 20 ads on there. I guess i will start over. But what really pisses me of is I cant even access the ad manager now to copy my ads.
Bidding Strategy:
Many people have asked me about the bidding strategy i use, so i thought to explain that a bit. It may not be the best strategy but this is what i use and i am satisfied with it. I read it somewhere quite a long time ago so don't remember the reference.
I start mostly with the highest bid suggest + 0.10 CPC. For e.g if i am suggested 0.12-0.24 CPC then i set the bid to 0.34 CPC and set campiagn budget to $10. Then i keep the campaign running for $10 and don't change the bid in between. When $10 is consumed, i pause the ad and let it remain paused for 10 minutes or so. I read somewhere that Letting your CPC catch up with your CTR lowers the CPC. So at this point i check how good is my CTR, if it is anything above 0.2% i resume the ad and increase the budget to $30-$40. I actually notice CPC drop for most of my campaigns this way. When it reaches the next budget limit i pause it again to let the stats get updated. Check my CTR, if it is still strong enough then i resume the ads with budget set to $200 and keep monitoring my campaign. This method totally relies on your CTR. Higher the CTR => Lower the CPC, Keep making new campaigns with different images and headlines. You will surely see improvement in your CTR and soon you will get a winner ad copy that you can keep running for some time.
Another thing i sometimes run my campaigns only in the peek hours that is 5pm - 12pm. This also gives me better CTR and more conversions.
This baffles me. How do you make money by getting people to click on your advertisement without buying anything from you?

i'm trying facebook ads now, what offers do you use (what payout) when i use $1,80 per lead dating offer and target german or norway, minimum bid is $0,25 it means i have to get minimum 1 registration per 6 clicks te earn $0,30. When you earn $2000 from every $1000 spent on ads it means you have 1:2 conversion ratio, this is amazing, how you do that??
Was it a personal account and how old?
Usually this happens when fb suspects you're using an affiliate link.
