    Hello,
    It was my first try with FB paid ads. I published an ad leading to my YouTube video. I received about 36 clicks on my video link in this ad for 3 days. But when I went to the statistics of this video I could see only one view.
    Another ad was for my site and I could see many new visitors in the social part of statistics.
    What is the issue with FB/YouTube clicks?
    Thank you.
    Serge.

    Hi Serge
    There are various reasons for this.
    It happens when people click on your ad but exit before loading the video.
    Sometimes when the same users click multiple time on the ad it is considered as multiple clicks for Ads but count as a single view in the YouTube stats.
    Sometimes it also takes a long to update the YouTue stats when the view count is low.
    Slow internet also be an issue, if someone clicks on the ad and the YouTube app takes longer to load or play the video, the user would exit the app and it will just increase your ad clicks but not the view count.

    Thank you a lot for the complete answer. Anyway, I don't find FB a good place for appliance repair business ads.
