This is so weird. Have 32k followers, post regularly, local content. About a day ago people stopped responding to posts. Looking into it, FB isn't showing posts to anyone. I CAN however make a post to "top fans" and it'll show it to them all as normal. Anyone been through something like this? submitted by /u/Crackmacs [link] [comments […]

I'm a little blindsided here. Who knows what's going on with Special Ad Categories? If you're based in or targeting the U.S. and are creating a campaign that includes ads that relate to credit, employment or housing, you must choose the category that best describes your ads. If you're not running ads in one of these special categories, you may skip this step. ​ I just had this pop up out of the blue as a step in creating new ads. Haven't seen anything about it before today, even after looking around, I found a single Reddit post (no news stories). ​ Audience selection tools for Special Ad Categories To comply with our advertising policies, certain targeting options are not available for ads in special categories; this includes Lookalike Audiences. However, to help you reach people who may be interested in your ad, you can create a Special Ad Audience. You can choose an information source, such as a pixel or a Custom Audience, and let us create a new audience based on some of their features. We'll ensure the Special Ad Audience complies with our policies and meets your needs. If you fall into the category ALL previously made custom audiences and lookalikes are not usable and you're compelled to make "Special Ad Audiences" which are replacement/watered down LAs...I guess? ​ For ads in certain special categories, the following audience options are different or unavailable: Locations: You can target your ads to people by geographic location (such as country, region, state, province, city or congressional district), but not by ZIP code. Specific locations you select will include a 15-mile radius around that targeted city, address or pin-drop. For example, if you want to reach people in the city of Seattle, your audience will also include people within a 15-mile radius of Seattle’s city center. Age: You can’t edit this option. Audiences must include ages 18 through 65+. Gender: You can’t edit this option. Audiences must include all genders. Detailed Targeting: Some demographic, behavior and interest options are unavailable. Excluding any detailed targeting selections is also unavailable. Removes age, gender, and a lot of the "detailed targeting." Geo-targeting is basically taken out at the knees. Hoping someone's seen something about this, my team hasn't until today. Hypothetically, if they categorize my brand as one of these (senior living) this will kill us on Facebook. submitted by /u/KiloMetrics [link] [comments […]

In the past couple of weeks or so Twitter has started showing me tweets from people I don’t follow. They haven’t been retweeted by people I follow, and it just says @xyz follows and then shows a tweet from that person or entity. It’s like they are suggesting these people because someone I follow follows them. Is there a way that I can turn this off? submitted by /u/SpecificMick [link] [comments […]
