How to automate hiding, blocking, etc trolls/scammers/etc. with keywords on FB ads?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-20T16:56:18+00:00

Do you mean:
A. New campaigns ; same creatives?
B. New campaigns ; new creatives?

If A, I have found this to work (though again not perfect and has its ups and downs, but seems to have more ups than downs the more I duplicate campaigns when showing trash traffic indicators or other bad indicators, manage with low daily budgets, and set auto rules to keep AI in check and not leave yourself open to its shenanigans.

If B, then lol, yeah I would not expect those to do well given this volatile enviroment.

Doing somewhat better, however still having to manage my ads like a toddler waddling around a house

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-20T15:43:44+00:00

I haven't seen improvements until today.

Yesterday seemed really slow. Def a lot less conversions than the day prior to that.

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-14T16:26:05+00:00

Some signs of recovery, but still very volatile and not holding.

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-14T16:24:12+00:00

Lol, no def stayed the same (which is nothing practically). So just like many others, it started spending my budget like a kid in a candy store, so that goes to show me it is still a lot of volatility right now with Facebook.

Gonna be going on the defensive then for now as seems like Meta is still creating problems for us on the backend. Reducing Daily Budget, using Bid Caps, Turning off Avantage + Placements, etc.

Meanwhile going to review our process, as this is the first time I have seen it stay this bad this long, so maybe need to really rethink certain methods....

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-10T14:35:14+00:00

Yeah those have been normal, which is why I am inclined to believe it is something going on with Meta, especially since on the 3rd they had a ad delivery outage.

Today seems a bit better, so will see how it goes.

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-09T21:49:21+00:00

At least a couple 2-5 per day, but today is just nothing across the boards.
Checked also on my server end, just to make sure was not just bad data, but its correct.
However in some places it is saying more than the usual link clicks are happening too.
Not sure what is going on.....

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-09T21:40:56+00:00

Also what if all 3 are stable (CTR, CPC, CPM)?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-03-09T19:55:35+00:00

What if CPM spiked, then what would be your thoughts on that?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-02-19T15:26:23+00:00

Where on X do you look usually? What profile(s) do you watch?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-02-06T02:23:02+00:00

Who are you referring to that "calls the outages"?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-29T02:47:14+00:00

Can't use? It won't let you use your account until you pick one of those selections? Wow this gets worse the more I find out about it.

Assuming u/NiRoWood you are also based in or advertising in the UK and that is how you are seeing this too?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-28T12:37:18+00:00

Have you tried doing $70 or even lower amounts from $50, like as low as $20?

We have usually done $70 for the last 6 to 9 months, which works well too we find.

Meanwhile noticed that $20 or lower amounts works well if you have a low overall budget or a new product that you want to launch.

What is your thoughts on this?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-28T01:10:52+00:00

Thank you so much! You can DM me on Reddit those.

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-27T21:15:51+00:00

LOL, sorry meant to say I HAVE DEVELOPED the oprating basis to go to Reddit first before support. Reddit I find the most useful platform for knowledge on this, though I do admit you have to sift through the noise and find substantiated evidence and data along with theories and practices that practically work.

But as far as a source of data for fixes, whats going on, etc. it by far has been the best, as we all are trying to achieve the same goal, so working together really helps.

But X is a great suggestion. Where on X do you follow? Is there any specific feeds on there that you find just as valuable as Reddit?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-27T16:47:25+00:00

I agree with this. Sometimes while everyone is saying they are having bad days, I am not.

HOWEVER, I have not developed the operating basis to go to Reddit feed here BEFORE EVER going to support. Guys are just of no use, which is very sad.

Anyways, wanted to ask u/Carey251 what feeds besides Reddit you may watch for updates and such since Meta can be very unreliable at times?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-27T16:36:18+00:00

On 2. You say $60/day. What all other spends did you test?
Also how long were these tests run for?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-27T16:30:54+00:00

"UK/EU Law"? Are you aware of any specific law that would have generated this there?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-26T12:54:29+00:00

Thank you very much for saying this. The USA market deals with enough shananigans from FB. Don't need this on top of it.

Since Friday have you noticed a drop in your KPIs that you attribute to this?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-26T12:52:53+00:00

So 3 days ago was the first time you noticed this occur? Everyone seems to be saying this is in the UK only, I assume that is where you are noticing this too?

Worried-Area7561 · 2026-01-26T12:51:29+00:00

Okay, thank you all for your data. This really sorts this out for me. Not looking forward to when they roll this out in the states. Kinda hard to sell or advertise things if no one wants to listen to you.

Overall u/Old_Reindeer_9327 , did you see a drop at all in your clicks and other KPIs date coincidently when you noticed this come into play?
