Has Facebook banned CPA offers

dowsp · 10-25-2011, 12:40 PM

Hello fellow warrior members,

Can some of the experts on here advise me..

I was at a seminar with a top IM guru last weekend...

and he told the attendees that Facebook will no longer allow anyone to
promote anything to do with CPA promotions ...

and that if they do find out that you are doing so, that they will BAN you
immediately and permanently ?

I have to say that this was NOT what I was led to believe from other gurus who
I have followed... Unless it is only VERY recently occurred...

Unfortnately when I asked him , he would not make much further comments on it.

I appreciate any experts who may have done CPA on facebook if they may be aware..

Others have told me there may be ways around this, if you obey certain rules,
Such as having disclaimers on ones webpage...and a intro on how the offers will be benificail
to what ever niche etc..

Thank you

Facebook has been recently cracking down. Especially on dating. I'd say make a few accounts, let them sit for a while. That's what Im doing. Just wait out the ban sprees.

Josh Ploose · 10-25-2011, 01:57 PM

I heard a rumor that they may be implementing their own dating feature, which makes a lot of sense.

Chris Ramsey · 10-25-2011, 02:58 PM

Facebook doesn't really like Maxbounty links, so I've had to get creative with how to put them on my pages.

So far my favorite method is creating a tab and having it redirect the user (full screen) to the offer when they click it. Many of the iframe apps for pages have this feature built in.

Try this out and you'll thank me

I've been running several Facebook Ads with CPA offers the past few weeks with no problem...haven't heard anything about the banning of CPA offers

MrGreenAM · 10-25-2011, 03:52 PM

Facebook allow CPA offers. I promise you that.

dowsp · 10-25-2011, 04:27 PM

Thank you for the kind feedback so far...

I am pleased to read that some of the members here deal with CPA on facebook and dont seem to have any issues with it..

I am somewhat puzzled why the guru whom I watched over the weekend would say such a statement....

I was wondering just to try and clarify it further if it may be possible to actually contact facebook and ask them to clarify it..

I am not sure if it can be done, but it may be worth checking if its possible to be on the safe side...as it does seem also that there is some concern with certain CPA companies or types of offer..

aminur · 10-25-2011, 04:36 PM

Yes they do allow cpa offers but there are certain types they hate such as email submits, free stuff , biz ops etc. they allow insurance, weight lose etc all day long.

jeffrey73 · 10-25-2011, 05:05 PM

My personal opinion is that they are trying to weed out all of the "garbage" offers being spammed to their members, like email submits. Offers that provide ZERO value to anyone.

Like Josh mentioned, if they are starting their own dating network, then I can see why they will push all other offers out the window.

IamTJM · 10-25-2011, 05:10 PM

Facebook ads and fan pages is actually my main promotion for CPA offers and I am having no problems.

jeffrey73 · 10-25-2011, 05:47 PM

Yeah but you are probably building a list. I think Facebook wants to just ban anyone directly-linking to CPA offers.

Facebook allows CPA offers. However they don't allow scammy CPA offers like ringtones, or rebills. Even most dating advertisers are very shady and most users don't like only seeing dating ads (so Facebook is starting to disallow more of those ads as well).

Find a CPA offer that will actually provide value to the user, don't write a misleading ad, and you should have no problem getting it approved.

dowsp · 10-25-2011, 06:45 PM

Thinking about the basis of whats been said...from the experiences of the members replies which I am finding useful....

It seems some offers are a problem and some offers are being seen as spam or for some reason F.B decide upon what they may like, when they approve them..

What I am a bit unsure about ....was when the Guru over the last weekend ..said "if you get caught promoting CPA offers that FB will ban you and permanently"..

YET the ads for the offers have to be approved in the 1st place..

I have never used FB so far ( but was hoping to do so in the near future)

SO... I would suspect that when you place an ad, in order for them to accept it... that
Its down to them to check if its acceptable... and if they dont like it , that they will just reject it.... and in this case Should Not Ban you ...

Just a thought... as to how I would had thought they would operate..
or maybe they dont have time to look in detail whats being promoted for
each ad...

jeffrey73 · 10-25-2011, 07:37 PM

It doesn't matter if they approve your ads. They could go through and re-review them, and then ban your account ( if they feel the need ). They are good at making decisions final for no good reason. lol

The point is that they can do anything they want, anytime the want. So watch your ass!

Ahhh yes direct linking is definitely a big no for facebook. Even landing pages are sometimes difficult to get approval.

CPAPro MikeT · 10-25-2011, 10:54 PM

We have publishers making very good money with facebook ads. They can definitely be tricky to get approved, but if you use landing pages and try to do something slightly different than what everyone else is doing you should start seeing some results.

Justin Lewis · 10-26-2011, 12:08 AM

I use Facebook + CPA offers, but I link to them indirectly. You could even create landing pages that lead people into filling out the CPA (not incentive type stuff, ew).

My suggestion would be to offer CPA's that of course, offer value and are actually something your visitors will enjoy. I've found some CPA's that convert very high, my fans love them, and they are helpful. But I've also found CPA's that are total junk, spammy, and unrealistic.

bizzie73 · 10-26-2011, 01:12 AM

But why is Facebook against CPA offers at all? Dating, I can understand. But there are so many other CPA offers. Google is basically saying no to millions of dollars Internet marketers are willing to spend.

Ruck · 10-26-2011, 01:23 AM

^^^ Think you meant, Facebook is saying no to millions of dollars.

Well, whats millions of dollars when you're a multi-billion dollar giant?

Not trying to be snarky here but:

A. Absolutely promoting cpa offers on facebook
B. It's widely known a lot and I mean a lot of cpa offers are pretty deceptive. Owned a network with 500+ advertisers for over 3 years, so yea...Imagine running an offer on Facebook but you created facebook, it's your baby. You care nothing about except making Facebook the best you can be. Money doesn't matter to you, you've got more you can spend in a lifetime.

Now imagine you open your baby up to the world to advertise on. Do you want your users (whom you now are closing in on 1 billion users with) to be turned off by some scammy, ****ty ads?

And C. Who was the speaker? I think you got ripped off. They should have been telling you WHAT TO DO instead of WHAT NOT TO DO. Doesn't sound very much like a productive seminar to me?

Of course Facebook wants to give their user the best experience and by allowing shady CPA offers they won't do that.

aminur · 10-26-2011, 08:05 AM

Facebook wants their users to be safe and happy. if people stop using facebook then all the advertiser going to stop using them and that means no money

Captain Planet · 10-26-2011, 08:15 AM

Just use your own landers and you'll be fine!

Aviator Joe · 10-26-2011, 02:32 PM

They have not.
They DID become way stricter than they used to be

dowsp · 11-09-2011, 06:16 PM

Hi ,

Sorry Ive been away for a while...

I appreciate all the feedback....
and its good to see members here succeeding using facebook with CPA offers.
I personally cannot see why there should be a problem with most CPA offers..
and it will be really frustrating if Facebook have brought in new rules or do go on to
put a stop to CPA offers..

I have been in further contact with Two Gurus who I had asked them about it.......and I have questioned them both and they still offer opposing views..

The one who told me about CPA being banned who has a support team have suggested that I contact facebook direct and to read their rules...and suggested this is the only way I am likely to be certain..

I had a quick look at their rules and I couldnt see anything obvious that referred to CPA..

I am considering telephoning them, but I have read this is likely to be difficult to get through to them...I dont know if anyone on Warrior forum may have ever been in contact with them...

PPC Coach.... The Gurus whos seminar I attended was giving a Free event to customers of his who had bought certain packages from him...( although there was a fee involved , I was informed all fees were to go to a charity of his)

I didnt think that he was surposed to be selling anything... BUT he did make some offers to two or three of his higher level packages...one included more help, guidence and info than his basic package along with various other things..Products, tickets to other events etc..some one on one help..

The other included attendning his House for a few days where he offered to help set up customers with their business ideas with a website etc...Id say this is ok if you know exactly what it is you want to do and need help doing it quickly and correctly..

Ive seen a few marketers doing this recently..

IF I do manage to contact facebook, I will post what I find out..

Thank you

dowsp · 11-09-2011, 06:40 PM

Hi Ruck,

You make some very good points, BUT I am not fully clear on some of what you say.

I am assuming that you are suggesting Facebook being the "Baby" have become strict on what they are allowing to be promoted... so maybe they have banned CPA offers or certain ones that are seen as poor quality to its users..

Not being too experienced or knowledgable about what one should say on forums...I am not sure if I should say who the Guru is for the time being as I dont want to risk making a wrong or incorrect specific comment against his credibility until at least I feel that I am more certain about what he has said is likely to be correct or not..

I am not sure if attending that event if it was surposed to be his latest updated knowledge that he may be upset if he read this message.

Maybe this is another seperate topic of discussion...ie what can one say after attending events if they are surposively are of a non disclosure type of concern.

Having said that I assume many such forums , members join as they often need to try and clarify or compare notes from material that they have learned...especially when they have two or more opposing views.

dowsp · 11-09-2011, 06:45 PM

Hi Hot Chick,

I assume that you are suggesting that they do prevent certain CPA offers from your personal experience.

Can you share your experience in more detail...

what type of offers the CPA were that they stopped/deleted ?

Have they done this more than once on different CPA offers..?

Thank you.

pacelattin · 11-10-2011, 07:19 AM

First mistake, was going to a seminar with a "guru."

Gurus need to make news, and need to say things that make people think, so they will say that Facebook won't take CPA promotions.

Facebook makes tons of money on CPA promotions,they aren't stopping anytime soon.

Hi Pacelattin,

You seem very confident in your statement...and from what you say I would had thought that may be correct..

Is there a reason that you are so certain ? Do you work at Facebook or have contacts that do ?

The members post by Ruck, seemed confident also and he suggests as I interpretate his posts, that they may do the opposite and not allow such promotions. ( or at least on some CPA promotions)

PPC-Coach · 11-10-2011, 08:18 AM

You can wonder about it, ask about it, chat about it and get 100 different opinions on it. BUT the only way you're going to know for sure who's right and who's wrong is to launch a couple campaigns, take some action and see for yourself.

Don't believe everything you read online or what some "guru" tells you.

dowsp · 11-10-2011, 09:12 AM

Hi PPC Coach,

I would, except I have been warned that IF Facebook find out , Im promoting a CPA offer that they will BAN me immediately and permanently !

So I am trying to find out for certain Before I take action ..

I just tried phoning them and It seems that all they do is refer you to their website ...

I havent check this out in full as yet... BUT I do find it frustrating when you cannot call to get an answer to something that may end up getting ones account closed down.

I am also informed that you are only allowwed ONE Facebook account..so I cannot try using different names or IDs... unless there is a way around it..

pacelattin · 11-10-2011, 09:55 AM

You said that Facebook bans CPA offers, in a general statement that Facebook does not allow affiliate program promotion. This is the statement that is incorrect.

Facebook does not allow things that are against their terms and conditions - which as several people point, are usually scammy, illegal or unethical offers. Unfortunately our industry is full of people promoting things that only purpose is to trick consumers.

dowsp · 11-10-2011, 10:42 AM

Hi Pacelattin,

NO ... I myself did NOT say that / those statement/s.... It was a Very well known Guru that said it to me...one of the Top Internet Marketers...

I have tried to phone facebook and it was a waste of time and money..Initially I called a UK number that I found that suggested that they could advise about Facebook... and they did answer the phone... and this may be ok for general queries and very useful...
BUT their phone rates were High.. £1.52 a minute plus a £1.53 connection charge.

Unfortunately they didnt seem to know anything about CPA or advertising.

So I then called the US number.... --1 - 650 54 34 800...

All this did was tell me to go to their websites help section...or leave a message..
I dont want to leave a message , as I dont want to inform them who I am until I decide what I am going to do for sure with facebook.... or see if I can open more than one account...

I looked on their website and I was not impressed... I couldnt really find easily what I was looking for... theres a section on facebook disabling accounts along with some reasons why they may do so, BUT it doesnt mention specifcally anything to do with CPA ads being a reason... I am not sure what they would class as crappy CPA offers exactly other than what I have read on this thread so far.

I did do a google search... and found a couple of sites that look like facebook, that do mention about CPA...and suggest it is ok to do CPA on facebook... BUT I dont think they actually are from facebook... I think they are made to look like facebook in order to promote their own CPA info..as there were links to other sites that were non facebook.

I was hoping at least that I could email facebook... But I cannot even find any contact info on facebook or a decent search option...

They suggest having a forum... BUT all I can see is a series of questions...

I myself have not joined facebook... ( or if I have, it was a long time ago and I cannot recall) BUT if you are only allowed ONE account... IF I did join today... I WANT to be CERTAIN what information that I do sign up with..

ON looking at the sign up form, IT appears that you could join under any name and open numerous accounts.... BUT I am not sure if you could get away with this IF you start using advertising with them... as they will need to know your specific details when you make any payments for adverts to them..

THIS is why I want to be sure what I am doing before I start any campaigns...especially if I can only have the one account..

All in all I am disappointed with their website when trying to obtain information or ask questions..I would have thought that they would have had a good support team on live chat if they wont anwser emails or phone calls..

I'm still making a killing every day from CPA on facebook.

dowsp · 11-10-2011, 11:17 AM

Hi Jason,

That is great to read...

IF you offer any guidence, I would be interested in
knowing your rates..

Thank you

Justin Lewis · 11-10-2011, 12:09 PM

I just don't see why people would take risk of direct linking to the offers.

Get creative and do something unique. Try some things out, you're sure to find a solution to getting around this without Facebook getting angry.

PPC-Coach · 11-10-2011, 01:22 PM

Justin is dead on. If you're petrified of getting banned. Don't do it. Get creative. Do boring old things that make a ton of money like actually developing a funnel and a list. Then market there.

dowsp · 11-14-2011, 09:58 PM

Hi ,

Just a quick update..

I Note what Justin said and PPC coaches advice..

I could consider doing as you suggest, BUT the program that I initially signed up for
is surposed to offer me a quick route to making sales, without doing the longer list building methods...I will consider doing this if things don't go to plan.

Its just that before I can apply it, I feel that I need to be 100% or as certain as possible that Facebook have not prevented CPA promotion advertising.

I have now lost faith in trying to find anything else out with Facebook by their website or by email... The last option I have is now seeing if they will phone me back if I leave a message on their phoneline... I spoke with a IM company in the Uk who claims that they can offer basic advise on FB... and they said for more detailed info you have to contact them direct... but they said it can take a WEEK or more to get a call back from them...
I find this very disappointing...

This was a reply to the mentors support team about how he trys to keep up with changes within Facebook...I have missed out his real identity..

Mr X spends hours reviewing all of the rules and regulations involving FaceBook and many other 3rd Party interest that he is involved with. He is very thorough in his research. I wish we could help you more but you will need to go to the source to get the most up to date information.

To me it does suggest from the reply that he is well aware of keeping up with the latest changes and I surpose I would expect him to be right..

This is a previous reply...

Mr "X" did talk about the rules of Facebook but the best resource is Facebook themselves. The rules change all of the time and you have to keep up with them to make sure you comply. In fact on November 1st there were some major changes to the Facebook rules and regulations.

Here are a couple of links to check out on Facebook:

Facebook for Business | Facebook

or Advertising Guidelines | Facebook

Facebook only allows one site per person but several people have founds ways to create more. As soon as Facebook finds out, they will shut down all of the sites. It is always better to follow the guidelines.

skyseer · 11-14-2011, 10:25 PM

It is interesting that you mention the facebook ban on CPA. In fact, there was a recent IM product from a fellow warrior being launched in Clickbank selling a product on using facebook to promote CPA offers. The way she did it was to have an indirect link so that you have no risk of being banned. She did not mention facebook cracking down on CPA offers as well.

ChadH · 11-14-2011, 10:30 PM

Facebook has not banned CPA offers.

Facebook has not banned direct linking. Run the link through mywot. Ideally run your own tracking url anyway.

Is direct linking your best bet? Sometimes direct linking keeps your accounts in check while hard selling on a lander gets you in trouble.

Problem is, often direct linking results in lower ROI. Often, not always.

Great point, Will. I couldn't agree with you more

ossie · 11-15-2011, 05:13 AM

FB allows cpa offers as long as they adhere to their terms and conditions. You may cloak links and promote adult dating... but when they catch you it's a surely a ban but. Just like Google tried to clear out all the shady offers so FB is following suit.

BillHus · 11-15-2011, 11:00 AM

I got banned for nothing so I think its really random....the offer I was using was an email submit for dog pics and I wasnt direct linking at all. I had a redirect thru a dog related site I run and they still disapproved my ads and banned me after only 4 bad ads. I've heard guys on this forum say they've been disapproved MANY times more than me so I feel very slighted that I was banned. Doesnt matter I have another CC that I can use so I'll get back on it soon. I just want to get a better idea of what others are doing. I think that you should establish a good account with them 1st on a fan page with NO CPA at all and maybe even a website or 2 then once they have approved a few ads I think they scrutinize less than if you are new to creating ads on FB. For all the vets on here that get away with direct linking all the other stuff I think its cause u guys are good already with FB....for us new people to the fan page phenom we have to be more catious. Just my 2 cents.

Just my opinion on this matter.

You stated you weren't "direct linking".

However, in my eyes you were.

You said that you redirected the URL/page or whatever to the CPA offer.

That is considered direct linking IMO.

Many might disagree, but if someone clicks on a link and are sent to a site that isn't the same as the link associated with it, then IMO, that is direct linking them and should be against the rules.

Even things like bit.ly shouldn't be used.

There are horror stories all the time out there and they will continue because the internet is not fully controlled and likely never will be.

So these types of redirect URL's should be barred from the internet all together as they are deceptive and misleading. Or for the fact of the matter, they can be very malicious.

There is not "getting good" with Facebook.

If they feel something is wrong or deceptive, they have the right and they WILL ban anyone and everyone, even a large company that spends lots of $$ each month on their ad space.

It's about providing a good service and I agree with this notion.

A good idea would be to direct people to a page you own which you can then presell them on the offer without directly linking them to it.

This way you get better conversions with the CPA network (making them happy), the advertiser (making them happy), and aren't direct linking on Facebook (making them happy).

Good luck on your ventures!

pacelattin · 11-15-2011, 06:24 PM

Bill, unfortunately that happens also. There are many people who review things and I've heard horror stories of one person saying that an advertisement is amazing, and then the account banned.

My main facebook account is banned from running facebook ads. No idea why, it's never actually run facebook ads on that account...

So far my favorite method is creating a tab and having it redirect the user (full screen) to the offer when they click it. Many of the iframe apps for pages have this feature built in. Try this out and you'll thank me

I am pleased to read that some of the members here deal with CPA on facebook and dont seem to have any issues with it.. I am somewhat puzzled why the guru whom I watched over the weekend would say such a statement.... I was wondering just to try and clarify it further if it may be possible to actually contact facebook and ask them to clarify it.. I am not sure if it can be done, but it may be worth checking if its possible to be on the safe side...as it does seem also that there is some concern with certain CPA companies or types of offer..

Offers that provide ZERO value to anyone. Like Josh mentioned, if they are starting their own dating network, then I can see why they will push all other offers out the window.

However they don't allow scammy CPA offers like ringtones, or rebills. Even most dating advertisers are very shady and most users don't like only seeing dating ads (so Facebook is starting to disallow more of those ads as well). Find a CPA offer that will actually provide value to the user, don't write a misleading ad, and you should have no problem getting it approved.

Posts: 84 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Re: Has Facebook banned CPA offers Thinking about the basis of whats been said...from the experiences of the members replies which I am finding useful.... It seems some offers are a problem and some offers are being seen as spam or for some reason F.B decide upon what they may like, when they approve them.. What I am a bit unsure about ....was when the Guru over the last weekend ..said "if you get caught promoting CPA offers that FB will ban you and permanently".. YET the ads for the offers have to be approved in the 1st place.. I have never used FB so far ( but was hoping to do so in the near future) SO... I would suspect that when you place an ad, in order for them to accept it... that Its down to them to check if its acceptable... and if they dont like it , that they will just reject it.... and in this case Should Not Ban you ... Just a thought... as to how I would had thought they would operate.. or maybe they dont have time to look in detail whats being promoted for each ad...

They could go through and re-review them, and then ban your account ( if they feel the need ). They are good at making decisions final for no good reason. lol The point is that they can do anything they want, anytime the want. So watch your ass!

You could even create landing pages that lead people into filling out the CPA (not incentive type stuff, ew). My suggestion would be to offer CPA's that of course, offer value and are actually something your visitors will enjoy. I've found some CPA's that convert very high, my fans love them, and they are helpful. But I've also found CPA's that are total junk, spammy, and unrealistic.

Well, whats millions of dollars when you're a multi-billion dollar giant? Not trying to be snarky here but: A. Absolutely promoting cpa offers on facebook B. It's widely known a lot and I mean a lot of cpa offers are pretty deceptive. Owned a network with 500+ advertisers for over 3 years, so yea...Imagine running an offer on Facebook but you created facebook, it's your baby. You care nothing about except making Facebook the best you can be. Money doesn't matter to you, you've got more you can spend in a lifetime. Now imagine you open your baby up to the world to advertise on. Do you want your users (whom you now are closing in on 1 billion users with) to be turned off by some scammy, ****ty ads? And C. Who was the speaker? I think you got ripped off. They should have been telling you WHAT TO DO instead of WHAT NOT TO DO. Doesn't sound very much like a productive seminar to me?

dowsp Active Warrior Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: , , . Posts: 84 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Re: Has Facebook banned CPA offers Hi , Sorry Ive been away for a while... I appreciate all the feedback.... and its good to see members here succeeding using facebook with CPA offers. I personally cannot see why there should be a problem with most CPA offers.. and it will be really frustrating if Facebook have brought in new rules or do go on to put a stop to CPA offers.. I have been in further contact with Two Gurus who I had asked them about it.......and I have questioned them both and they still offer opposing views.. The one who told me about CPA being banned who has a support team have suggested that I contact facebook direct and to read their rules...and suggested this is the only way I am likely to be certain.. I had a quick look at their rules and I couldnt see anything obvious that referred to CPA.. I am considering telephoning them, but I have read this is likely to be difficult to get through to them...I dont know if anyone on Warrior forum may have ever been in contact with them... PPC Coach.... The Gurus whos seminar I attended was giving a Free event to customers of his who had bought certain packages from him...( although there was a fee involved , I was informed all fees were to go to a charity of his) I didnt think that he was surposed to be selling anything... BUT he did make some offers to two or three of his higher level packages...one included more help, guidence and info than his basic package along with various other things..Products, tickets to other events etc..some one on one help.. The other included attendning his House for a few days where he offered to help set up customers with their business ideas with a website etc...Id say this is ok if you know exactly what it is you want to do and need help doing it quickly and correctly.. Ive seen a few marketers doing this recently.. IF I do manage to contact facebook, I will post what I find out.. Thank you -------------------------- What was the guy selling at the webinar that gave you that information in the first place?

Posts: 84 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Re: Has Facebook banned CPA offers Hi Ruck, You make some very good points, BUT I am not fully clear on some of what you say. I am assuming that you are suggesting Facebook being the "Baby" have become strict on what they are allowing to be promoted... so maybe they have banned CPA offers or certain ones that are seen as poor quality to its users.. Not being too experienced or knowledgable about what one should say on forums...I am not sure if I should say who the Guru is for the time being as I dont want to risk making a wrong or incorrect specific comment against his credibility until at least I feel that I am more certain about what he has said is likely to be correct or not.. I am not sure if attending that event if it was surposed to be his latest updated knowledge that he may be upset if he read this message. Maybe this is another seperate topic of discussion...ie what can one say after attending events if they are surposively are of a non disclosure type of concern. Having said that I assume many such forums , members join as they often need to try and clarify or compare notes from material that they have learned...especially when they have two or more opposing views.

Is there a reason that you are so certain ? Do you work at Facebook or have contacts that do ? The members post by Ruck, seemed confident also and he suggests as I interpretate his posts, that they may do the opposite and not allow such promotions. ( or at least on some CPA promotions)

So I am trying to find out for certain Before I take action .. I just tried phoning them and It seems that all they do is refer you to their website ... I havent check this out in full as yet... BUT I do find it frustrating when you cannot call to get an answer to something that may end up getting ones account closed down. I am also informed that you are only allowwed ONE Facebook account..so I cannot try using different names or IDs... unless there is a way around it..

dowsp Active Warrior Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: , , . Posts: 84 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Re: Has Facebook banned CPA offers Hi Pacelattin, NO ... I myself did NOT say that / those statement/s.... It was a Very well known Guru that said it to me...one of the Top Internet Marketers... I have tried to phone facebook and it was a waste of time and money..Initially I called a UK number that I found that suggested that they could advise about Facebook... and they did answer the phone... and this may be ok for general queries and very useful... BUT their phone rates were High.. £1.52 a minute plus a £1.53 connection charge. Unfortunately they didnt seem to know anything about CPA or advertising. So I then called the US number.... --1 - 650 54 34 800... All this did was tell me to go to their websites help section...or leave a message.. I dont want to leave a message , as I dont want to inform them who I am until I decide what I am going to do for sure with facebook.... or see if I can open more than one account... I looked on their website and I was not impressed... I couldnt really find easily what I was looking for... theres a section on facebook disabling accounts along with some reasons why they may do so, BUT it doesnt mention specifcally anything to do with CPA ads being a reason... I am not sure what they would class as crappy CPA offers exactly other than what I have read on this thread so far. I did do a google search... and found a couple of sites that look like facebook, that do mention about CPA...and suggest it is ok to do CPA on facebook... BUT I dont think they actually are from facebook... I think they are made to look like facebook in order to promote their own CPA info..as there were links to other sites that were non facebook. I was hoping at least that I could email facebook... But I cannot even find any contact info on facebook or a decent search option... They suggest having a forum... BUT all I can see is a series of questions... I myself have not joined facebook... ( or if I have, it was a long time ago and I cannot recall) BUT if you are only allowed ONE account... IF I did join today... I WANT to be CERTAIN what information that I do sign up with.. ON looking at the sign up form, IT appears that you could join under any name and open numerous accounts.... BUT I am not sure if you could get away with this IF you start using advertising with them... as they will need to know your specific details when you make any payments for adverts to them.. THIS is why I want to be sure what I am doing before I start any campaigns...especially if I can only have the one account.. All in all I am disappointed with their website when trying to obtain information or ask questions..I would have thought that they would have had a good support team on live chat if they wont anwser emails or phone calls.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You said that Facebook bans CPA offers, in a general statement that Facebook does not allow affiliate program promotion. This is the statement that is incorrect.

dowsp Active Warrior Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: , , . Posts: 84 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Re: Has Facebook banned CPA offers Hi , Just a quick update.. I Note what Justin said and PPC coaches advice.. I could consider doing as you suggest, BUT the program that I initially signed up for is surposed to offer me a quick route to making sales, without doing the longer list building methods...I will consider doing this if things don't go to plan. Its just that before I can apply it, I feel that I need to be 100% or as certain as possible that Facebook have not prevented CPA promotion advertising. I have now lost faith in trying to find anything else out with Facebook by their website or by email... The last option I have is now seeing if they will phone me back if I leave a message on their phoneline... I spoke with a IM company in the Uk who claims that they can offer basic advise on FB... and they said for more detailed info you have to contact them direct... but they said it can take a WEEK or more to get a call back from them... I find this very disappointing... This was a reply to the mentors support team about how he trys to keep up with changes within Facebook...I have missed out his real identity.. Mr X spends hours reviewing all of the rules and regulations involving FaceBook and many other 3rd Party interest that he is involved with. He is very thorough in his research. I wish we could help you more but you will need to go to the source to get the most up to date information. To me it does suggest from the reply that he is well aware of keeping up with the latest changes and I surpose I would expect him to be right.. This is a previous reply... Mr "X" did talk about the rules of Facebook but the best resource is Facebook themselves. The rules change all of the time and you have to keep up with them to make sure you comply. In fact on November 1st there were some major changes to the Facebook rules and regulations. Here are a couple of links to check out on Facebook: Facebook for Business \| Facebook or Advertising Guidelines \| Facebook Facebook only allows one site per person but several people have founds ways to create more. As soon as Facebook finds out, they will shut down all of the sites. It is always better to follow the guidelines.

skyseer Warrior Member War Room Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 18 Thanks: 2 Thanked 16 Times in 15 Posts	Re: Has Facebook banned CPA offers It is interesting that you mention the facebook ban on CPA. In fact, there was a recent IM product from a fellow warrior being launched in Clickbank selling a product on using facebook to promote CPA offers. The way she did it was to have an indirect link so that you have no risk of being banned. She did not mention facebook cracking down on CPA offers as well.
