Daily ads digest — Saturday, September 26

Written 7:25 AM CDT · Meta rows synced 6:00 AM CDT, complete through Fri Sep 25 · change log read 7:14 AM CDT · no writes to the account

You switched on five of the eight new Cycle3 ads yesterday, and switched off Faith_Encouragement. Meta's change log shows that at 12:20 PM CDT you turned off ad set 120249162906610726 (Faith_Encouragement_Flexible_6x2x2_Home_CW36), which had read KILL since September 21. Between 12:21 and 1:10 PM you switched on five Cycle3 ad sets and their ads, at $25 a day each. The three Wildlife_Birds ad sets are still off. Later "IGL Data Sync" lines in the log at 1:55 PM are Meta finishing its review of ads that connection built. The same lines set the three Wildlife_Birds ads to Inactive, so they did not switch anything on. The read is recorded in receipts/ads/2026-09-26-meta-account-change-log-read.json with writes: 0.

Committed daily budget went from $135 to $235. Spending came back to normal: Friday's $245.11 was the first day near the ~$250 norm since mid-September. It brought back only $126.88 on 3 orders, a 0.52 return. Most of the new money went to first-day Cycle3 ads, and those are still TESTING.

No ad crossed a money gate on Friday. Two KILLs are still switched on: My_Chickens and Catalog_Full Catalog. Catalog_Full Catalog is now only $3.91 short of the 1.45 line.

KILL · still on

My_Chickens: eleventh morning switched on with a KILL

ad 120249176618100726 · ad set 120249176611780726 · campaign 120249162351800726

It has spent $499.54 and brought back $605.51, a 1.212 return, on 473 link clicks, 31 add-to-carts and 15 orders. Yesterday it spent $26.92 and took nothing. 1.212 is under 1.45, so the confirmed KILL stands. It is ACTIVE at $25 a day. It has taken one $40.76 order this morning.

KILL · $3.91 from the line

Catalog_Full Catalog: one more order, still just under 1.45

ad 120248673662140726 · ad set 120218211063940726 · campaign 120218211063930726

It has spent $693.35 and brought back $1,001.45, a 1.444 return, on 1,872 link clicks, 106 add-to-carts and 20 orders. Yesterday it spent $28.14 and took one order worth $45.80. It has had four orders since September 22 after going eighteen days without one. It needs $3.91 more revenue to reach 1.45. At that point it would read RUN. Today it still reads KILL. It is ACTIVE through the scaling campaign at $25 a day.

SCALE · not acted on

Garden_Humor: SCALE on its lifetime return, but its last seven days read RUN

ad 120249162906470726 · ad set 120249162901020726 · campaign 120249162351800726

It has spent $377.84 and brought back $791.76, a 2.095 return, on 580 link clicks, 55 add-to-carts and 11 orders. Yesterday it spent $29.19 and took nothing. Its last seven days (Sep 19–25) read 1.646. The re-verdict on Wednesday September 30 uses that seven-day window, so it would read RUN if the verdict were today. Its budget is still $30.

RUN · re-verdict Sep 30

Tomato_Lovers: first order in six days

ad 120249162914850726 · ad set 120249162910410726 · campaign 120249162351800726

It has spent $522.64 and brought back $898.66, a 1.719 return, on 418 link clicks, 45 add-to-carts and 13 orders. Yesterday it spent $26.82 and took one $38.80 order, its first since September 19. Its last seven days read 0.893 ($195.15 out, $174.27 back). That would read KILL on the seven-day window. Nothing is due today. The re-verdict is Wednesday September 30. It is ACTIVE at $30.

TESTING · day 1

The five new Cycle3 ads: first day, all under $54

All five are in campaign 120249162351800726 at $25 a day each. They are TESTING, so no decision is allowed yet. The first to reach the $54 gate will likely be Faith_Encouragement Homepage, at $41.49 including this morning. Friday's figures are below, with this morning's spend in brackets.

Stalls

None. The older audition ad sets all spent above the 60% floor on Friday: Garden_Humor 97%, Tomato_Lovers 89% and My_Chickens 108%. Faith_Encouragement spent 57%, but you switched it off at midday, so that is not a stall. The scaling campaign's ad set spent $28.14 of $25. The new Cycle3 ad sets are on day 1. The stall check applies on days 3–4, so the first check is Monday September 28.

The Jimothy audition pilot, ad set 120248486992740726, is closed and unchanged: $68.92 from Jul 30 to Aug 4, no purchases, NOT TESTED. The only dated records in jobs/ads/decisions/ are from Jul 29–30, and all their dates have passed. The September 30 re-verdict dates come from earlier digest pages. No decision record has been written for them.
