I can't get an ad even into play, it seems like they have impossible ad criteria. That or else the approvers hate all ads.

I'm doing direct linking, can anyone give me some tips.

Facebook is only worth it if you plan to do i via app development else it is simply an expense in the cpa business

Their approvals are pretty tough. Send their advertising department an email and ask them why you keep getting disapproved. They will get it straight for you. I think their email is something like advertising@Facebook.com. Go ahead and google it.

I'm not sure what types of offer you promote but maybe you need landing page because for certain types of offer they do not allow direct linking.

Don't mind but I didn't get you, can you elaborate more??

I know your frustration. I use direct linking too, its a hit or miss but you gotta tweek your ads until you get approved.

Heres what I do:

1. Get a GEO script plugin, this will help the ad reviewer to actually see your ad based on the reviewers location

2. Make sure your interest words are not in your ad copy. Meaning, if your targeting women who like to dance for a dating offer, dont use any of those words in your copy or title, the image is where you target

3. Use a redirect script to your offer, this means that you have to get a landing page that is blank but has a script and geo plugin on the page. When the browser reads the script it will lead traffic to your offer.

Basically, the trick here is that you don't just send traffic directly to your CPA link. You need a blank landing page with scripts to redirect to the offer. So it not really direct linking lol

PM me if you need the scripts or help setting it up
Hope this helps

Excellent Idea you have given to Curtis. I will try it out soon in future.

Facebook do not like 80% of the cpa offers that are about they don't really like cpa marketers full stop.
Iv'e baited and switched for over 12 months now with no issues, you can also cloak or you can use a landing page.

A lot of newer marketers will go for the email / zip submits offers to start with as they are easy offers for the end user to complete but facebook hate any type of offer that asks for data from the user unless it's "told" in the advert what is needed from the user.

i.e - Email address needed to participate (legit way)

My advice is learn how to bait and switch or cloak

Create a php redirect on your domain (any domain) - put a link in there that is or would be seen as compliant in their eyes. After approval switch out the link to your direct link, job done!

I got a couple of ads accepted. I used bit.ly to shorten my URL and not sure if that helped why mine was accepted.

I believe the key is the landing pages you're sending them to. Take a look at the landing pages & website of the offer you're promoting and make sure they comply with their rules.

Check out their rules:

1. Landing pages / Destination URLs
   1. Ads that contain a URL or domain in the body must link to that same URL or domain.
   2. Ads must send users to the same landing page when the ad is clicked.
   3. Landing pages cannot generate a pop-up (including "pop-overs" and "pop-unders") when a user enters or leaves the page.
   4. Landing pages cannot use "fake" close behavior (ie. when a user clicks the 'close' icon on the page, the page should close down and no other behavior should result).
   5. Landing pages cannot utilize "mouse trapping" whereby the advertiser does not allow users to use their browser "back button" and traps them on their site and/or present any other unexpected behavior (for example: navigation to another ad or page).
   6. Ads cannot require viewers to click on the ad to submit Personally Identifiable Information (such as name, date of birth, phone numbers, social security number, physical addresses, or email addresses) on the landing page or in the ad, except to enable an ecommerce transaction and where the ad and landing page clearly indicate that a product is being sold.

Hope this helps.

There can be no great success without great commitment.

Is facebook worth the trouble?

I have a few offers that I think would do great.

But all I hear is horror stories.

Nothing to say.

jeffrey73

You have to play dirty with them now if you want to get anything approved.

i.e. bait'n'switch, cloaking script, etc.

Mike Morgan.

It is better to closely check their adverting policy , before you start promoting your offers .

Smokin Joe

@Jeffery73 Thanks for your reply. it seems once a business starts to get big (ie. Google now Facebook) They all of a sudden decide that they are now the cream and forgot about the people that got them there.

I just want to do business. Withoout cheating or stealing.

Nothing to say.
