			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left; margin:0 15px 0 0" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20" title="facebook_logo" src="http://www.smmguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/facebook_logo.jpg" alt="facebook_logo" width="360" height="135" />Luckily I started to notice the <a href="http://www.smmguru.com/2008/09/07/is-facebook-nuking-acai-diet-promos" target="_blank">nuking of the Accai Berry promotions</a> pretty early on so I had a shit load of dating promos and ad copy ready to role. For the month of January <a href="http://www.smmguru.com/go/neverblue" target="_blank">NeverBlueAds</a> is holding an affiliate showdown for any affiliate on the network. The affiliate that gets the most eHarmony subscriptions (in certain countries) will win a 50&#8243; Samsung LCD HDTV. I decided to try out some of the offers and pit them against some of my other dating ads to see what would happen. Without even running landing pages and using the provided creatives from <a href="http://www.smmguru.com/go/neverblue" target="_blank">NeverBlueAds</a> the offers were converting without much work. They have a bunch of sick offers that can be greatly enhanced with landing pages etc.</p>
<p>One thing I do want to point out is you may have a problem getting your ads through because of the URL redirection. For me, some of the foreign ads kept redirecting to an &#8220;international offer&#8221; if the traffic was not seen as coming from that specific targeted country. The problem is Facebook Interns could not get to the real landing page so they kept blocking the ads. You <a href="http://www.smmguru.com/2008/09/02/make-money-with-facebook-ads-part-4" target="_blank">may have to use a redirection service</a> that allows you to modify the link after the ad is accepted. Use the eHarmony landing page for your specific country (ex: eharmony .ca, .co.uk, .whatever) as the redirection URL from your redirection service. After the ad is accepted by Facebook, go back to the redirection service and change the end URL to the tracking code provided by NeverBlueAds. As long as your targeted your ads right, you should be in business. Also keep in mind you may want to set a really low bid for your cpc so the ads are not actually showing and costing you money when they are first accepted and don&#8217;t have any tracking.</p>
<p>Another weird thing I noticed is that no matter how much you increase your cpc, your impressions don&#8217;t seem to climb much in the other countries. Just for fun I set one of my ads at $1.25 cost per click and it got only 1,000 more impressions than an ad I ran at $.55 a click. I most likely wont win the TV, I&#8217;m only promoting through Facebook. Make a bunch of money, and win a sick TV. </p>
