FB ad Help getting approved

6 replies
Hello, I started to tackle facebook and in the last 24 hours i have added over 20 ads and one has been approved, All the ads that are denied are giving the same stupid reason, Yet every ad link does go to the ad, No ad ask for personal info unless they continue threw, Only simple cause i can see is geo as it does state that must be able to access from other geo IP's, Which is imposable cause 95% of cpa offers are geo targeted,

The one that was excepted was a us offer yet the 19 that were denied i made sure i set up in a similar way, I have tried Dating, Cash loan, Gambling, And Health and the Only one that was approved was the P90X offer which i feel will do the worse,

Can anyone give me some tips on this?

    ROI on facebook is usually crap and/or hard to squeeze out. The best way to approach it is to make a fanpage that you advertize. Sure, it'll take an hour or to to create the page and doll it up a bit, but you'll save a lot in lead costs.

    The hardest part is to get around 5000 fans to your fanpage to build authority.

    I'll PM you my email if you'd like more help, feel free to msg me.

    They are very strict about what they allow, but as soon as you take the time to read through everything about their ad guidelines it's fairly easy to put out ads that get approved. Loans, gambling, none of that is allowed, and there are strict guidelines for dating ads and weight loss ads. For a weight loss product you cant have a picture of scales or measures or some super slim girl looking all sexy because to them its rude to fat people

    You can always redirect your domain to a related blog (doesnt have to be yours) until the ad gets approved, then redirect it back to the offer your promoting. Just make sure you word your ad that makes sense for both the blog your temporarily linking to and your offer, for instance if you put "learn how to lose weight fast" you would want to find a blog that talks about losing weight fast, that also doesn't try to sell anything, just purely informative that way it gets approved. then once the ads approved you can redirect it back to P90x so it still makes sense.

    Sure it's not "playing by the rules" doing that, but the guys approving the ads over at FB can be nazis so doing it this way makes it easy. And if you don't have a domain to redirect with simply use a free co.cc , works fine.

    I just watched a one-hour video on face book ads. It was made by a guy who had been doing facebook ads for years and had spent tens of thousands of dollars on it. It was exceptional. See this and it should clear up some of your questions.
    FaceBook Advertising – Soup To Nuts Guide It's just a video, no affiliate links attached, he's not selling anything but it's a very insightful video.

    Facebook is getting more strict but they still allow direct affiliate linking. The most common grounds for disapproval are:

    1) Improper wording of the ad (lack of transparency) in the FB ad description / suggestive images

    2) Not having a privacy policy / TOS on the landing page

    3) Pop-up lead capture form on the landing page

    That's based on a few different conversations with my Facebook ads account manager. Hope that helps

    the facebook formula: 0 sales + 0 leads= crap

    you can use this for fan pages?

    it is because people understand that all the stuff on the right sidebar are products, surveys, etc

    facebook is waste of time right now.
