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 />
