Hey everyone, I'm running an affiliate offer in Auto on Meta and my CPMs have been insanely high since I started running it again about a month ago. The conversion on my clicks though is super high (60% plus). Any ideas on what I can do to get that CPM down?

I'm running both static images (with a bunch of text) as well as script-based video sales letter style ads (that are about a minute long). I'm also running traffic through a Redtrack redirect. Let me know if you need any more details.

I was thinking running a bunch of new hooks/lead-ins but I'm not sure if that will really help or if there's just a ton of competition in the space and that's where CPMs are gonna be now haha...would appreciate any ideas at all! Thanks guys.

Yeah, CPMs in Auto can get crazy, prob a mix of competition + ad setup. A few things i list to try, let check:
  1. Test new hooks – might help if your ads are fatiguing, but won’t fix high CPM alone.
  2. Broaden targeting – Meta might be charging more for your specific audience.
  3. Less text on images – Meta hates text-heavy creatives, could be hurting ad score.
  4. Try different placements – some (like Reels, Audience Network) can be way cheaper.
  5. Check Redtrack setup – if Meta thinks traffic is sketchy, it might be jacking up costs.
Could just be a high-bid niche, but tweaking these might help drop that CPM a bit.
 
Do not put links in advertising articles, it will increase CPM index and high cost.
 
Please leave the link in the page introduction or in Facebook comments to limit the increase in CPM.
 
Change the image and content, you can use some tools to check CPM

To reduce CPM you should leave it in the comment section of the article. If possible limit the text too long customers will not read. Instead, images will be added with illustrative details.

The simplest thing is that you have to keep your account active and free of payment errors.

High CPMs on Meta can be caused by competition, ad fatigue, or Facebook flagging your ads as low-quality. Since your conversion rate is high (60%+), the traffic is good, but you’re paying too much for it.
 
To limit CPM increases, place links in your page's introduction or in Facebook comments. You can also change images and content, and use tools to track CPMs.

change content, images and expand customer files
 
You should use short and concise content images so that viewers can understand and read it. Too long content is often rambling and ineffective. That is the way to have competitive CPM.
 
High CPMs could be due to competition or how Meta rates ads. Try reducing text in images, testing shorter videos, or expanding your targeting to optimize costs. What has worked for you?

Your CPMs are high ‘cause of competition, ad quality, or tracking issues. Since your conversions are solid, try this:
• Less text on images, shorter vids (under 30s), UGC/testimonial-style ads
• Broaden targeting, use automatic placements, and test lookalikes
• Redtrack might be a problem—try direct linking or a better pre-lander
• Test new hooks, emotional angles, and fresh headlines
• Lower bid strategy (Bid Cap or Cost Cap)

Small tweaks = big savings.
 
Change the images and content. Content that is too long is often rambling and ineffective. To reduce CPM, you should leave it in the comment section of the article.
 
High CPMs can be due to competition or unoptimized ad meta. Try testing creatives with less text, shorter videos, or broader targeting to reduce costs. Have you tried whitelisting domains or changing ad angles?
 
High CPMs (cost per 1,000 impressions) on Meta when running affiliate offers can be caused by:
  1. Low-quality or non-compliant content: If your ad creative or copy is poor or doesn't meet Meta’s standards, the platform lowers your ad quality score, increasing CPM.
  2. Low CTR (Click-Through Rate): If people aren’t engaging with your ad, Meta sees it as less relevant and raises the cost to show it.
  3. High-competition niches: Affiliate offers are often in saturated niches like finance, health, or weight loss—where many advertisers compete, leading to higher CPMs.
  4. Poor or broad targeting: If you're not targeting the right audience, engagement drops, and costs rise.
  5. New or low-trust ad account: New accounts or those with a history of policy violations are often penalized with higher ad costs.
  6. Policy violations (even minor): Affiliate ads can easily trigger Meta’s policy filters—like exaggerated claims or sensitive images—hurting your quality score and raising CPMs.
