$350 in Facebook Advertising coupons for advertising domain names or driving traffic!

IAmAllanShore · 01-14-2009, 08:03 PM

Only valid for new advertisers, of course, but I had some success doing some traffic arbitrage and am now experimenting with targeting domain names to potential end users!

Enjoy - and would love to hear other ideas for using $350 of Facebook's money

Nice Share. Just curious, is this will use all the credit first before charging to credit card ? Could we stop after the credit almost zero ?

metronome · 01-14-2009, 09:17 PM

hmm, it is said that this will expire on jan 31st, 2009
so if we havent used them all before this date, the coupon wont be able to be used again?

and, I still havent received the 100 USD coupon from the visa business network

does this take long anyway?

thanks for sharing btw

added you a rep point

IAmAllanShore · 01-14-2009, 09:24 PM

It will charge all $350 to your coupons before charging your card (It will put a $50 authorization on your card which will disappear, but that is used for confirming a valid card, etc.).

Most of the coupons terms expire in April, not January 31st, just for the record

But some do expire the end of January, so make sure you use those before then! (Facebook is kind and will draw first from the earliest expiring coupons.)

The visa business network coupon comes immediately; make sure you check you facebook email account as well as your visa business network email account.

Today's stats for me:
Name Status Max Bid ($) Type Imp. Clicks CTR (%) Avg. CPC ($) Avg. CPM ($) Spent ($)
Campaign1 Running 0.05 CPC 16,779 2 0.01 0.25 0.03 0.49
Campaign2 Running 0.20 CPC 188,344 86 0.05 0.29 0.13 25.03
Campaign3 Running 0.10 CPM 10,524 2 0.02 0.50 0.10 1.00

I need to better target my ads in order to get a higher CTR which would allow me to lower the CPC significantly for my click-based advertising, but the conversion ratio on the other end has been high so it's still cost effective

If only I could get them to approve my ad!

6 submissions now...denied each time. I keep trying to tweak it within their standards, tough though.

dotprofan · 01-15-2009, 02:39 PM

Great information - thank you!

jhansen · 01-15-2009, 04:13 PM

Are these still working? Just tried to sign up with a new account, but using a credit card I previously used...getting a message reading "Sorry, the code that you entered was invalid, has already been used, or has expired." for each of the codes.

IAmAllanShore · 01-15-2009, 06:33 PM

Don't try to take advantage of the offer - they do monitor duplicate accounts by many different methods and the coupon codes will not work for duplicate accounts on purpose.

They are still working for truly new accounts, however

The original issue came from my using the same credit card on multiple accounts.

The first account was closed after multiple rejected ads...I never actually got anything put up. When I created a second account (with the same CC# as the first account), I could not add the coupons.

I have since figured out the issue and I actually have a few ads running as we speak! We'll see if anything manages to convert...thank you very much for your generosity!

Thank you very much. Rep added.

Do I have to use the balance by the expiration date or is that when the coupon had to be added by?

Badger · 01-16-2009, 10:56 AM

Hi Allan, we tried to make some ads about 8 months ago but kept getting declined.. Can you give us a brief overview of how to get your ad and lander accepted?

Nice offer to the members mate, well done

IAmAllanShore · 01-16-2009, 11:32 AM

The general rule is that the lander needs to be something other than a parked page, or at least appear to *directly* offer a good or service for sale. I've had good results by creating one-page landers for a specific good/product from Amazon.com or other affiliate program.

For click arbitrage it comes down to which reviewer looks at the advertisement is about my only explanation for the disparity. I will say that I have never had a Sedo (Nor have I ever seen a Sedo) parked page approved, but had some luck with parked.com and adsense mini-sites. I have yet to try a google adsense for domains parked page directly, but I can't imagine that would make it through.
If you are directly linking to one of your sites this is offering a good/service/entertainment and it is not being approved, that would have to be based on specific content, no?
I'm up to 36 different campaigns being approved, so I have no problem looking at one of your proposed ads if you are still having trouble - just post here or PM me.

Since both Sedo and Parked do not allow arbitrage, I don't think this is a good idea.

Egads! For some reason I thought Parked.com still did; good to know.

I've seen many Facebook free advertising coupons floating around but I didn't know there were this many of them that can give you $350 dollars of ads for free. The downside of course is that you need to provide your credit card number and you'll need to remember to cancel your campaigns if you don't want to get charged after your free credit is used up.

Thanks for posting this, rep added to Allan.

Steven · 01-20-2009, 08:33 PM

Thanks!
Just to clarify...
If I don't use the free ad credit in my facebook account by January 30, 2009, they will take the free money out of my ad account?

JRayers · 01-20-2009, 08:43 PM

There should be a thread to see how much any one user can make (affiliate sales or otherwise) from the free $350..

Edit: I just had to post about this.. link.

Steven · 01-21-2009, 09:32 PM

Facebook billed $48.00 today for the advertisement.
Where in the website I check how much it has taken out from the coupon?
There's nothing that indicates how much is left of my coupon.

Click on "billing" and then "funding sources" - it will show you which coupons have been used, etc.

Just checked.

IAmAllanShore · 01-25-2009, 07:56 AM

Everyone please make sure to check your funding sources before January 30/31st; some coupons will expire then, and don't want you to forget and have your card charged because you spent more than you have in coupons!
