I've been using sitemeter for the last year to track my hits. It's a great tool and its free. I'm going to try to reset up an add later on today.

They have a long list of questions and answers which apply here. Q. What does my "Daily Budget" control? A. The budget that you set is your daily budget. It represents the maximum amount that you are willing to spend for each day you are advertising. Our system will automatically stop showing your ad once your budget has been met for the day, and you will never accrue charges in excess of your budget each day. Q. Will I ever be billed more than my maximum cost per click or maximum CPM? A. No, you will never be billed more than your maximum cost per click or the maximum CPM that you have specified. Q. Will I ever be billed more than my daily budget in a day? A. The total billable value of clicks or impressions in a Facebook billable day will never exceed your daily budget. It's odd that you can't sign up for a new account, maybe it takes a day or so to sort itself out? I'd consider trying it again in a day or so, placing your add and keeping a close eye on the stats provided by Facebook. It might be also worthwhile to have an independent stats programme running on your site such as Google Analytics. If they were to send more clicks than you have paid and charge you for it you'd know pretty quickly. You'd have good grounds to contact Facebook or your bank to cause a fuss for them. Hi Jonathan,

I’ve been reading through the Help section for the Facebook ad manager. They have a long list of questions and answers which apply here.

Q. What does my “Daily Budget” control?

A. The budget that you set is your daily budget. It represents the maximum amount that you are willing to spend for each day you are advertising. Our system will automatically stop showing your ad once your budget has been met for the day, and you will never accrue charges in excess of your budget each day.

Q. Will I ever be billed more than my maximum cost per click or maximum CPM?

A. No, you will never be billed more than your maximum cost per click or the maximum CPM that you have specified.

Q. Will I ever be billed more than my daily budget in a day?

A. The total billable value of clicks or impressions in a Facebook billable day will never exceed your daily budget.

It’s odd that you can’t sign up for a new account, maybe it takes a day or so to sort itself out? I’d consider trying it again in a day or so, placing your add and keeping a close eye on the stats provided by Facebook.

It might be also worthwhile to have an independent stats programme running on your site such as Google Analytics. If they were to send more clicks than you have paid and charge you for it you’d know pretty quickly. You’d have good grounds to contact Facebook or your bank to cause a fuss for them.

I had to delete my account all together because when I tried to pull off just the add it said it could take 24 to 48 hours to take affect. What a bunch of BS! So now I just can't use it at all because when I try to sign up or a new add with a bit more money to cover me daily hits it says my adds account had been deleted but I also can't sign up for a new account. This is so much more trouble than it's worth. I have now sent 5 e-mails and had no response at all!!

That can't be right, it defeats the purpose of putting a limit on daily spending. I have another ad on Facebook at the moment, only for 2 days so far, luckily its staying within its limits. I'll read more about this. That does sound like they’ll charge $250 and more. That can’t be right, it defeats the purpose of putting a limit on daily spending.

After reading a bit more into the billing I read this "We limit the total amount you can spend every 24 hours. If you hit your daily spend limit and you successfully pay the balance, your daily spend limit will automatically be increased. We first increase your spend limit to $250, then to $350, then to $500, then to $750, and finally to a maximum of $1,000. Increases normally take place within 48 hours of the day you hit the limit. If you hit the maximum limit of $1,000 and wish to further increase your limit, you may contact us to request a manual increase." Maybe I'm missing somthing but that sounds like there saying there going to start taking $250 I placed my first add for my website today I’ve gotten 20 hits in 10 hours and I wanted to spend .
