Confuse about POF

MN786 · 01-26-2012, 12:41 PM

Every one on warrior is saying that POF is best for dating offers and I have read many books and some WSOs about it, but when I started my first campaign(dating campaign) in POF, they rejected my campaigns(tried several times). After I contacted them I came to know that the problem is my free dating offer. They don't allow us to advertise any dating offer.
here is their policy please have a look.

Why Does Your Ad NOT Get Approved?
You are trying to advertise websites or creatives that contain adult/racy material. Our users do not want to see overly sexy images in advertisements or landing pages, and we want to keep things as clean as possible!
You are trying to advertise a FREE dating website. PlentyOfFish does not advertise these websites under any circumstances.

What do you say about it?

Simple, they only allow us to promote dating sites that people can join free but will eventually have to pay for the site's services...unlike PoF where its really free.

Solution, choose a dating offer for a dating site that's not 100% Free like PoF is...And you'll get your ads approved. Ask your AM, he'll tell you which to use.

Good luck!

Hey, that's great to know. Thanks for the tip! I always thought it was because POF is a dating site and they didn't want competition.

They don't want competition. But their competitors are other free dating sites. They also don't allow adult sites for obvious reasons.

Here is a small list of some of the sites not allowed:

x2..

Or see if you can hit up POFBen on here, he is always helpful.. most dating offers are allowed though..

Keep trying different ads out and keep track of what doesn't get approved so that you know for the future. There is a huge market at POF and they are a buying crowd. Make sure you take advantage of their targeting options.

JasonWestwick · 01-27-2012, 03:20 PM

As stated they simply do't want you advertising sites that directly compete.

However, this can work to your advantage, try and think why would someone prefer a dating site that isn't free.... brainstorm and use those key selling pints in your ad copy.

I'm sure there's so many free dating sites its hard for them to keep that list up to date. They probably just put the most commonly tried offers on there. Just promote a dating site that isn't free and you'll have no problems.
