This may be a dumb question - but I have been in internet marketing for 8 years but a noob in FB - why would they ban dating and acai offers? Nothing wrong with that - not like its porn or fraud.

Why would they ban tobacco? Or paintball guns? Or any of a million other things consenting adults use happily but Facebook disapproves of?

Because they want to keep their site puritan squeaky clean obviously. Why don't they apply the same rigorous standards to photos posted on FB as to their ads? Fuckin hypocrites.
 
Can't find it anywhere in this thread or any others so apologies if it has been mentioned already and its a really simple thing to do but can someone please tell me:

How do you look into Facebook in another country?

I'm in the UK and I try to access an account via a proxy service to get to the Facebook US log in and it tells me to enable cookies and java script which is not possible on the proxy.

Thanks in advance!

Then get a new proxy that enables cookies and javascript? You answered your own question.

Located in UK > Get a U.S. Proxy > Create FB account in the U.S. > Login

Socks proxies are your answer, don't use those shitty http proxies kids use to surf MySpace at school.
 
Anybody who has a reps please ask

Does Facebook randomly pull 3 ads in a page or do they display ads with the highest bids at #1 ?
 
I'm about to start running the Facebook gauntlet this weekend.

I've seen some cloaking scripts out there based on referrers to redirect intern traffic to an innocent url, but it's always possible that reviewers will manually enter your url.

Here's a script I adapted which records IPs from facebook intern referrers and redirects all future requests from that IP. By the time you've submitted a bunch of ads for review you should end up with a nice long list of intern IPs being automatically redirected.


PHP: 
<?php

$tracking_ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 

$cloaked_url = "http://someshittyfacebookapp.com"; // This is the url for facebook interns to see.
$normal_url = "http://makemoniesonline.com"; // This is the url your leads should see

// First time you use it, this plain old text file should have a line of text at the top to stop it fucking up,
// something like "Here's a list of Banned IPs:[carriage-return]"
$filename = 'internips.txt';

// Check referrer and if it matches facebook intern url then redirect to $cloaked_url but ALSO make a note of their IP for future
if(strpos($tracking_ref,"intern.facebook") || strpos($tracking_ref,"dev.facebook")){
    $newcontent = "$ip\n";
    Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
    Header( "Location: " . $cloaked_url );
} else {
    Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
    Header( "Location: " . $normal_url );
}
// Get our list of facebook intern IPs from our file
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

// Check whether this user came from a previous facebook intern IP. If so, redirect to $cloaked_url
if (strpos($contents,$ip)){
    Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
    Header( "Location: " . $cloaked_url );
    // so long, sucker
}

// Might as well avoid repeating ourselves
if (strpos($contents,$newcontent) === FALSE) {

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {

    // We're opening $filename in append mode.
    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // Add another facebook intern IP to our file
    if (fwrite($handle, $newcontent) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }
    
    fclose($handle);

} else {
    echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}
}

?>
This script matches unique IPs, but it should be simple enough to get it to match IP ranges instead for broader safety.

it was just reported recently on the news that FB sued this spammer for a billion dollars. Aren't you afraid of getting sued for tricking FB to show indecent offers?

they already got all your personal info on their file...
 
I finally hit my new $500 budget cap today. I wish these things would just automatically go up after you hit the limit once and not twice or three times.

I'm managing a .10-.11 CTR and getting a nice amount of clicks for about .29-.30 per click. It seems like if you can maintain that CTR for a 4 or 5 days then Facebook loves you and will throw tons of traffic your way. I spent about $300 in the last 3 hours of the night on Facebook after I upped my daily budget to $500.

Just a few things I thought I'd throw out there. I'm sure some people here have much much higher budget caps though :)
 
ahh no...that guy wasn't advertising he was hijacking accounts and spamming
