THE FACEBOOK ADS EXPERIMENT: 12 TIPS TO CRAZY ENGAGEMENT<br />
So I figured the happy medium here was 14 days. If after 14 days<br />
you still hadn’t clicked my ad, I stopped paying to show it to you.<br />
And if you still hadn’t seen it after 14 days, I basically gave up on<br />
showing it to you — and you likely gave up, too!<br />
MY EXPERIMENT: 1 DAY<br />
Now, there’s one more way I considered using durations in this<br />
experiment, but I chose against it. It would have required the use of<br />
a 1-day duration WCA.<br />
I considered spacing out the surfacing of tips more. I know that<br />
some people told me they’d immediately see Tip #2 after viewing<br />
Tip #1. And some had said they’d then seen three or more tips in<br />
a day.<br />
On one hand, that could be kind of cool. On the other, it may have<br />
been better to space it out a bit.<br />
So I could have decided to exclude any of the following when<br />
creating the Tip #6 Exclusions WCA:<br />
◼◼Viewed Tip #6 (180 Days)<br />
◼◼Viewed Second Opt-Out (180 Days)<br />
◼◼Viewed Tip #5 (1 Day)<br />
So in this case, my ad for Tip #6 wouldn’t reach anyone who<br />
already viewed it, opted out, or viewed Tip #5 within the prior<br />
day. Once it had been more than 24 hours since they’d viewed<br />
Tip #5, though, they might see it.<br />
The main reason I didn’t do this was that I worried about people<br />
who went back and read a tip again. That would restart the clock<br />
for them, and they may have then been stuck in a perpetual<br />
waiting pattern.<br />
