ATTN: ANYONE w/ a FACEBOOK! Free $25/$50 Facebook Advertising Credit = FREE Ron Paul ads!

[ssjevot]

I put up a new one about the Fed's 16 trillion bailout and Ron Paul standing alone against them.

My anyone but obama vague ad leading to paul's u tube channel with his new hope ad auto playing has 3 clicks.... *happy*

 

[parocks]

good stuff all, keep up the good work.

some pix you might want to use for whatever reason

You can combine the coupons. I just added $75 to my account

This is my ad.

How? They are both for 'new accounts' only, and can not be combined...

Did you use a different coupon?

 

[Doc Simo]

Worked for me. I sent a message to one of the regional guys in the campaign to see if he had advice for what I should put up as the advertisement, but the code worked and I am all set up!

I've been running for two days with no clicks.

I think we could triple the amount of people doing this if ...

1. We make a few ads, targeting different groups of voters.
2. We choose the best keywords for those specific ads

3. We make this a simple copy/paste task any supporter can do in 5 minutes and have the ads all in one place to choose from.

Right now I'm all pumped to do this but have never tried anything like it before. I'm also not sure what the best ad would be, who I should be targeting and I always get a brain fart when it comes to keywords.

Could we consolidate all the good ads and keywords in one place to make this easy?

 

[FriedChicken]

Who should I target?

Democrats who are anti-war with the revpac troops in Texas ad? (remember Cenk saying it was better than any democrat ad ever made and said it really makes a progressive consider supporting Ron Paul)

Republicans who are pro-war with revpacs short military video?

An ad about the economy?

... tell me what to do, I have a $50 coupon burning a hole in my pocket and I want to do the best possible ad with it. I'm not familiar with SC.

 

[FriedChicken]

Should we wait until Tom Davis has made his endorsement official and blanket facebook with the announcement?

I've been running for two days with no clicks.

What's your price set to, and how many people are you supposedly reaching? Post your Ad text here... maybe we can help

Basically, I got the codes before I created the ads. Then after I linked facebook to my paypal account, I added the 50 dollar coupon[using the "add funding source option] and thought "hmmm i wonder if the 25 dollar coupon code is gonna work too?"

so then i added it and it got credited to my account.

I can confirm that both coupons can be added. This is my first time using this service but it would be nice to get some canned adds posted on here to copy and paste. I made my own and I will have to monitor it over the next week to see how it does. Thanks for the guide on getting the coupons.

What is the difference between paying per click and impressions? Advantages/disadvantages?

 

[Maximus]

My campaign to get nationwide Ron Paul supporters to the moneybomb pledge site has gotten 56 clicks with a .05 ctr... hopefully people pledged

I'm about to start one for the Youth for Paul group at SDSU once it gets approved

What is the difference between paying per click and impressions? Advantages/disadvantages?

Cost per click means that you only pay for each time someone actually clicks your ad. So you get to show it to a ton of people but only pay when people actually click it. Basically this is what you do if people aren't very responsive to the ad, and is generally a safer route to go. But your ad might get less rotation if people arent clicking it because FB wants to generate revenue.

BUT

if people are clicking your ad like crazy, then its better to do cost per impressions. Mainly because itll be cheaper. Basically if you have a high click rate, it means your paying each and every time someone clicks it, so it gets expensive fast, or you run out of funds fast. but if youre only paying for impressions that means it doesnt matter how many people click it, because youre only paying facebook to show it. also your ad doesnt get moved out of rotation because facebook is generating revenue for just showing the ad, and not for the clicks.

ideally, what you want to do is to get as many clicks per impression as possible. the best thing to do is to start off with CPC and if you get over 2% after 10 clicks, switch to impressions.

also, it depends what your ad motivation is. if you're just doing branding/association [i.e spreading knowledge, so people just "know" the name ron paul & associate it with anti war or other catch phrases] then its better to do impressions.

Damn, you guys got lucky. I tried a backdoor way of getting more coupons and more ads, which worked for around 2 hours before Facebook caught on and put a hold on all of my ads.

My original ones should be off hold soon...

bump an awesome grassroots project.
