Since when?

Since now....

Your account was disabled for persistent submissions of advertisements that were disapproved for several reasons. Please do not submit ads or images multiple times which have already been previously disapproved. If one of your ads is disapproved, please review it and do not submit the same ad again without adjusting it.
 
Don't duplicate multiple ads that were previously disapproved...you'll get banned.
well that doesn't explain my ban i didn't have any disapproved ads to resubmit. in fact i'd just recreated all last weeks earners and had them approved a few days ago (with new tracking links). none were disapproved and none were pending. i'll see what their reply is as i've asked for reactivation.

bit harsh if its what you say though. that system can only really work with clearer rules (no cleavage,bust,etc..) or like shady said we gotta start batching them.

after all relevence is relative.
 
My bad luck! I found a campaign that was working on FB pretty good, getting recent ROI for week but now the campaign expired. I was linking direct to the network tracking URL in my FB ad. Since I can't modify ads to change the URL, I have to take down the ad and just hope they accept it again next time I submit it. :(

Is there info somewhere for how to set up a redirect of some kind, so I'd link the social ad to a domain of my own which redirects to the correct landing URL? That way I can just change my redirect on my domain instead of the changing the ad on FB. I use the word redirect but perhaps people use something entirely different to achive the same results?

Anyone know if FB allows this, I mean would they even know?

You should always send each ad to your domain and redirect it to whatever offer you want from there, always. It will help you splits test offers, same offer on different networks, putt a LP in front of the offer, etc etc as well as the fact that you won't be stuck with no traffic and not be able to get your ad re-approved.

Since you didn't do this, one solution would be to talk to your AM at whatever network your running and see if they can set up a custom redirect since that offer went down. They have done this for me for other reasons in the past and it usually isnt' a problem but you have to have another similar offer that you can run on their network for them to do it. This will help while you try to get another version of the ad back up but this time pointing to your own domain and redirecting.

Just a simple http redirect or something else? I'm guessing that a simple redirect will get found and booted by Facebook, or do they not care?

that is aggressive. I have noticed a real challenge in getting dating clicks. Could be newbs, or some other changes in the background at FB.

So far, I have been happy with FB response time for reactivation. More like a kick in the nuts to wake you up and make you think.
 
Ugh, I can't add any new credit cards to settle my big debt with facebook. No cards at all work :(
 
Yeah direct linking is fine. Don't think they have a problem with that.
Are you sure? I was reading through Facebook's Advertiser Guidelines, and it clearly states that the landing page cannot oblige the visitor to fill a form in order to get more information. From my understanding, that is exactly what most campaigns' landing pages attempt to do.

Facebook said:
No ad may require viewers clicking on the ad to submit personal information (cell phone numbers, physical addresses, or email addresses) on the landing page in order to obtain the information promoted in the ad.
 
Was seeing a 10-15% conversion from click to lead on email submits on the first day, then it dropped to like 2% the next day and beyond... almost like the sponsor decided it's not gonna track for Facebook traffic anymore.

I guess this is a comment more on email/zip submits than on FB ads itself, but has anyone noticed the same thing? I'm somehwat new to affiliate marketing, so perhaps I've just discovered a known fact about email submits?

I'm in the same boat except I didn't see 10-15% conversion rate yet. It's a landing page with a freebie, i have a CTR of 0.03 and a conversion rate of 1%. Since I'm quite the newbie, my CTR needs some work, niche targeting and split testing, but the conversion rate is what boggles me.

I know other aff marketers had as much as 50+% conversion rate for the same type of offer. What influences so much a conversion rate after someone actually clicked on the ad ? (my ads are not deceptive/obscure). I'm using a redirect, so the advertisement company doesn't know the traffic is coming from facebook right (even though it is authorized) ?

I'm almost back to the drawing board on this one, but my conversion rate SHOULD be at least 10% and I don't know what I should look for to track the problem.
 
Are you referring to the Visa-sponsored network thing that is designed to help small business owners start advertising on FB?

Yeah he's gotta be talking about that. What I think will happen is you will see all sorts of new advertisers popping up and then leaving after they rip through the $100 and don't get any conversions. It will hurt bids a bit for a while but in the long run 95% of them won't have a clue how to get facebook to work (if it would even work for them which in many cases it won't) and be quickly disappointing with the results. Some will keep it for branding only but most will take their advertising dollars to greener pastures.
 
Yeah, I actually expect the exact same thing. I can't count the number of non-affiliate ads I see on Facebook for which I stop and think, "Damn, no way that's making anyone any money." I'm sure we'll weather this fine.
