Hi everyone...long time lurker, first time poster. I am completely new to affiliate marketing, but recently got an account set up with Neverblue. I am planning to start out with Facebook PPC and direct-linking to offers(this seems like the simplest way to get some hands on experience with testing, tracking, copywriting, etc.), but I'm having trouble getting started.

On the Facebook.com/ads/create page, I am selecting "External URL" as the Destination, and then for the URL I am cutting and pasting a link from the "Search Creatives" tab in my Neverblue account. For example, the link is something like http ://jxliu.com/click/?s....

The problem is that when I click the Ad Preview to preview the link, I get a message saying "Sorry. The link you are trying to visit has been reported as abusive by Facebook users. To learn more about staying safe on the internet, visit Facebook's Security Page. Please also read the Wikipedia articles on malware and phishing."

Direct-linking is allowed by Facebook and by this particular offer, the offer allows traffic from social networks, the offer landing page is targeted towards US users and I am located in the US, and the offer is completely legit and within Facebook's TOS. What am I doing wrong? I would normally just ask my AM for help, but its the weekend and I don't expect an answer to my email until Monday and I would like to figure this out today if possible. Thanks for the help!

Yeah that happens with most CPA networks links that get promoted on Facebook. What you need to do is NOT use their link directly. Instead, do a redirect.

Sign up for a free domain that you use to redirect. I recommend Dot TK - Renaming The Internet

Or you an even better method is to set it up via CPAclickz.com so you can direct facebook reviewers to the proper page if you're promoting an international offer.

Some good ways around this is listed above, But to save you time in the future, Facebook requires a ad to be seen no matter where they test it even if the offer is only US,

If you post a offer up there that redirects when other viewers from other countries get redirected they will deny your ad.

I personally think this is pointless cause if i select us only who gives a crap if uk viewers are redirected, if they are clicking my link then there geo targeting is not working correctly anyways. However this is facebook and they are picky

What offer are you trying to run? It could be Neverblue or the offers link.
