Facebook Ads Manager v2 Out Now

Category: Facebook, Facebook Ads Manager

I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback from everyone since the last version, only three people came to my house personally to slap me in the face, that’s something to celebrate.

The biggest issue by far was that resubmission doesn’t work anymore. As you might have noticed Facebook has selectively stopped letting you copy ads, using the “Create a similar ad” link, depending on which ad it is. Disapproved ads seem to be completely disabled, making it impossible to resubmit ads, manually or using this tool. Thankfully we can save ads here and re-run them anytime, making resubmitting unnecessary. Just delete your rejected campaign, and restart the ad creation process, same deal. Good luck trying to do that by hand.

Here’s the latest changes in this version:

- Grouped header and body together. The old way of split testing header and body didn’t make much sense, since they’re almost always a cohesive whole - mixing and matching different headers with different bodies isn’t the best way of split testing ad copy. Here’s what it looks like now:


- Changed the ad titles. Much more descriptive now, you should know exactly what ad you’re looking at without having to click through to the full screen ad.

- Bug fixes related to copying ads, stopping ads, etc.

That’s it for now, if anyone has any suggestions how to improve the tool, send me an email to fbadmanager aatttt 4houraffiliate.com

Any way you can offer both options? I actually use random titles and ad copy all the time, people are weird and often the most ridiculous combination wins ..

Love it keep up the good work.

My suggestions:

1. Automatic character counter for the title.

2. Add education level option.

3. Charge $500 so not everyone and their mother start using the tool.

Yes character counter for title would be useful. At the moment I’m having to play with titles in the regular “create ad” section to find out how many words I can fit in.

Konrad, I’d say for now you can create a new Firefox profile and install the other version there so you can switch between the two as you need. I’ll have a better solution for the next release.

B-Boy, 1 and 2 are good suggestions, I’ll try to have those and all the rest of the fields in for the next version. About 3, is that your offer? :)

I can’t get the resubmit ads to work ..

Do you offer lifetime upgrades or does one have to re-buy the plugin every time the FB ad manager changes? Thx

J-billz on January 30th, 2009 1:53 pm:

this tool makes me a ton more productive. What I need automated is a way create similar ad, on an ad that is currently running. This is a must and the tool is a full WIN. Hit me up via email if you can.

admin on January 31st, 2009 2:05 am:

Ahmed, like I said it probably won’t work as Facebook has disabled the “create a similar ad” feature. I’ve left it there in case they bring it back :)

admin on January 31st, 2009 2:05 am:

Phrench, lifetime upgrades

phrench on January 31st, 2009 11:39 am:

Great! I’ll get a copy as soon as I’m back from my vacation!

Allow us to make custom ad titles and subid formats like

{gender}-{minage}-{maxage} etc and do one for everything so:

{campaign}
{title}
{location}
{gender}
{minage}
{maxage}
{age}
{keywords}
{relationship}

and let us use that for campaign name, the ad names and subids so we can track things better.

1. Automatic character counter for the title.

2. Add education level option.

Any progress on anything new?

Can the owner contact me via email as I have some questions for you regarding college targeted campaigns and other options. Nice work on this tool.

What’s the status of this tool, is it currently being developed for v.3? State split testing would be kickass…

Jonathan Volk on July 2nd, 2009 1:40 am:

The plugin does not work with firefox 3.5.

Will you be able to provide an update to fix this?

Thanks!!

PS > If you could please email me the answer!

PPS > If you do, can you send me an upgrade link?

Thanks you
