Received this message early this morning... is Facebook banning Ad accounts now???

So my most recent Facebook ad campaign that I've been attempting to run was one for a local Chiropractor company here in Columbus. I had attempted to use a certain photo of a back, showing backpain, with an arrow pointing to the like button. It was denied at first, so I tried one slightly different in hopes that it would be approved.

Then, I received two different emails from Facebook this morning, stating something terrible... but I'm not sure what I've done to warrant such a judgement and punishment...

Hi,

Facebook will not tolerate behavior that users may find annoying or abusive, or that violates our Terms of Use or Advertising Guidelines. You have used the account associated with aaron@engagemymarket.com to submit ads that are explicitly prohibited by our ad policies. Please note that you have been warned more than once in the past. As a result, your account has been permanently disabled.

We will not be able to reactivate your account, nor will you be able to recover any content within the account. You will also not be permitted to create a new account to restart your Facebook advertising. This decision is final.

Thank you for your understanding,

The Facebook Ads Team



And this one too...

Hi Aaron Blevins,

Your Facebook Ads account has been disabled. All of your ads have been suspended and should not be run again on Facebook under any circumstances.

We typically disable an account if too many of its ads violate our Terms of Use or Advertising Guidelines.

Unfortunately, your Facebook Ads account will not be reactivated and you will be unable to continue advertising on Facebook.

Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely,

The Facebook Ads Team



HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE??? I'm not sure what to think... I'm honestly in shock... I haven't been running any questionable ads of any sort. And if I've been PERMANENTLY banned from using Facebook ads, under any account name, then what the heck am I, and other marketers like myself supposed to do in the same shoes? I've never used Google Adwords, but is this the type of thing that they started doing too back in the day of banning users?

    Facebook is funny about their advertising. I was turned down about a dozen times before I finally found one that works. I do believe their emails were a little extreme. Sounds like something Google would do..or HAS done.

    Best of luck.

    I think perhaps they do not like ads which ask users to click the "like" button?

    That's all I can think of from what you said, and I say it because with the new timeline fan pages they say the cover image cannot ask users to click like, etc.

    I guess they've decided Facebook users find this "annoying" and so they want to act like it's some great unethical sin, or something.

    It seems that there were recently some changes to the rules. I noticed a WSO or two out about it yesterday. I don't really use ads there, so I'm not sure what the changes are...but...I'm sure that there is information about it floating around here...

    Have you actually logged into your account and found it banned?

    From "noreply@facebookmail.com"

    What would make you think that is a valid Facebook email address?

    Type it into Google and look at all the scam reports you will find.

    It sounds a little suspicious to me.

    and this is what I am trying to say about building a bizz on someone elseses platform...it's stressful, hard and you will get banned like this..no what? You start from afresh again? To be repeated? Really?

    It's only on the Net we get treated like this....they encourage small business owenrs to use their platforms and then ban without question when THEY change thir policies. They need to start treat peopl with a little respect. But that won't happen. Just in in 10M+

    I love this.......

    Thank you for your understanding,

    Hi I have had this happen before Facebook is funny about what is put in the advertising right down to the photos you use. The wording of the emails you got are similar to the emails that I got. They operate on strict guidelines ,but a lot of stuff that I see get rejected is basic and and there is nothing that I can see wrong as far as wording or pictures. They never give you a straight answer if you ask whats wrong with the ad they just tell you to check the guidelines. They allow you to screw up so many times then they ban your account.
    I think their advertising deparment sucks when it comes to approving ads it's like they don't know whats what themselves.

    Definitely investigate that email address. All my communication from facebook ads comes from the extension support.facebook.com

    Also don't use arrows pointing to the like button. facebook are very very inconsistent and strict with guidelines and I believe they have banned the use of arrows.

    On a wider issue of them banning accounts. With the upcoming IPO expect a lot of accounts to go down. I believe facebook is putting it's eggs in the big business basket and smaller advertisers are the one who will suffer. From what I've read relating to facebook ads, even giant dating networks such as match.com go through lots of accounts.

    A big issue is that unlike google there are no really specific rules. If you take a look over the adwords rules, yes they are numerous, yes they are annoying, but, they are fairly straight forward to follow and implement. Now take a look over facebook's rules and all of the points are really vague and open to interpretation. It's in these grey areas that many people get caught and it's pot luck as to weather or not the reviewer taking a look at your ads is in a good mood or not.

    It isn't uncommon to get tons of ads approved and then a few days later those same ads get retro disapproved and shut down.

    Our systems have detected unusual payment activity on your account. As a security precaution, the payments functionality on your account has been disabled and all of your ads have been stopped. For more information, please contact us.

    This morning when I received this for the first time, it actually had me walk through a series of questions about my recent ad and payment activity. After I filled in all the info they needed, it said someone would be in contact with me soon.

    I did receive this confirmation message from them too, after completing the above process, and it was from this address - charges-investigation+bwu87p5.aea3x2...facebook. com

    Facebook has received your inquiry. Stand by as we should be back with you soon. In the meantime, we encourage you to review the Help Center (Facebook Help Center | Facebook). You'll find lots of information about Facebook as well as many answers to your questions.

    Thanks for contacting Facebook and enjoy the site!


    Not sure if my account might have been compromised or if I actually did go one step too far. My image did have an arrow pointing to the like button in the ad, so maybe that's what they were upset about. Though, I've ran multiple ads like that before, with arrows, and all has been well... so, I'm still in the dark a bit.

        I purchased a WSO a year or so ago that advocated using red arrows pointing at the "Like" button. Pointing an ad to a fanpage and including a "Like" button in your ad gets you really cheap clicks if people click "Like" instead of the ad itself. A few WSO's exploited this technique to get really cheap ad-clicks. The arrows help direct the clicks to the cheaper "Like" button instead of a more expensive click on the ad itself.

        More recently I read a WSO that said Facebook is declining ads that use red arrows. The author said he was still doing it because facebook had a higher tolerance for older ad accounts, but new ones would not get away with red arrows any more.

        I have also read WSO's that advocate changing the ad and the destination of the click after the ad is approved. It seems this scam is not as easy anymore as people have had previously approved ads retroactively deleted.

    Received this message earlier from Facebook regarding the banning...

    Hi Aaron,

    Your account has been disabled because you violated our Advertising Guidelines repeatedly, despite being warned multiple times about this issue. Facebook will not tolerate behavior that users may find annoying or abusive, or that violates our Terms of Use or Advertising Guidelines.

    Ads may not directly call out specific likes or interests in the ad copy that are unrelated to the advertised product or service. In addition, the following must be true:

    (1) The positioning is appropriate for your targeted audience.
    (2) The ad creative is relevant to the product or service advertised.
    (3) The ad does not assert or imply a user's prohibited characteristics.

    Any advertised offer or opportunity must fully disclose the offer terms and conditions (e.g. commitment length, cost, etc.) and include a privacy policy disclosing how user information is collected and used.

    The landing page must disclose how the user will be contacted (e.g. email, phone), what the user will be contacted about, and who the user will be contacted by. For example, if you are running an education lead generation ad, you must indicate whether the user is going to be contacted by a third party.

    Failure to adhere to these warnings has resulted in the permanent loss of your account. We will not be able to reactivate your account, nor will you be able to recover any content within the account. You will also not be permitted to create a new account to restart your Facebook advertising. This decision is final.

    Thanks for your understanding,

      Actually, in an official way, no. My ads, from time to time come back, after I create them, stating that they are unapproved for a certain reason, but I've never received any sort of formal instruction and/or warning stating that I need to be careful... which surprises me that they so quickly revoke everything without any sort of initial warning like that.

    I've heard a lot of cases of this this week, especially in Linked In groups. It seems FB are being much stricter since the Timeline changes.

    Anyway, that isn't the message you usually get for using a bad image. Like CDarkLock said, it seems to be more to do with how you targeted your advert, and that FB feel this was incorrect.

    You could try to appeal it with them, but only a very small amount of appeals are successful, and you'd have to have a pretty strong argument. You might be able to set up a new account but if they link the two, your new one will be closed immediately.

    Looks like a violation of FB's new rules for cover photos, although I thought these rules don't go into effect until March 30. Uhm.
    See new FB Rules for Cover Photos below. They no longer allow:
    • Price or purchase information, such as "40% off" or "Download it on socialmusic.com";
    • Contact information such as a website address, email, mailing address, or information that should go in your Page's "About" section;
    • References to Facebook features or actions, such as "Like" or "Share" or an arrow pointing from the cover photo to any of these features; or
    • Calls to action, such as "Get it now" or "Tell your friends.”

      Wait a second...

      You aren't allowed to have a call to action on advertisements?

      How can Facebook possibly think that's a good thing?

      No call to action = less clicks = less $$$ for them.

      And I don't see how having a call to action will make FB users ticked off.

          I'm listening to the ongoing debate about the pros and cons of the Timeline Fan pages and folks are missing the point.

          It's not just that Timeline is new.
          This is a new era for Facebook totally.

          Facebook is in IPO mode where their ROI tunes are being played to the deep pockets of Billion dollar brands who see facebook as a direct distribution channel.

          Their tolerance levels for Terms violations are at alltime low levels- especially when it relates to their Billion dollar cash cow-
          their advertising platform.

          Frankly, they do need to be clearer on what they allow- but their interest in playing nice with small advertisers- has largely dried up.

          The FIX I recommend is to have your wife or close family member set up a new account with a new Credit card and a totally different email address- even better if it is a business credit card- instead of a personal one.


          Hope this helps and puts other well-intentioned Warriors on alert.

          Stay Sunny,

            This is a new era for Facebook totally.

            Facebook is in IPO mode where their ROI tunes are being played to the deep pockets of Billion dollar brands who see facebook as a direct distribution channel.

            Their tolerance levels for Terms violations are at alltime low levels- especially when it relates to their Billion dollar cash cow-
            their advertising platform.

            Frankly, they do need to be clearer on what they allow- but their interest in playing nice with small advertisers- has largely dried up.

            The FIX I recommend is to have your wife or close family member set up a new account with a new Credit card and a totally different email address- even better if it is a business credit card- instead of a personal one.


            Hope this helps and puts other well-intentioned Warriors on alert.

            Stay Sunny,

            That makes sense even though that is ironically shady business practice.

            I love how their salutation does with understanding, like they really care if they do.

    Why do you people continue to panic with regards to Facebook??? They are not the only game in town and you can make money, and your clients can make money without them.

    They have forgotten, it's the little guys and the small businesses that have made them what they are today. It seems to me they are making the same mistakes MySpace made. MySpace was a great place for entrepreneurs to get started, then MySpace forgot who made them big and turned on those who 'made' them. Now it's a ghost of it's former greatness.

    Facebook is only as big, as those who use it, allow it to be.

    Remember, turning and biting the hand that feeds them is part of their corporate culture. Mark Zuckerberg has turned on all of his business partners after the thought he no longer needed them. Why do you Warriors expect any different treatment? :confused:

    When you all decide to not use Facebook, they will have no more power. It is really that simple.

    You give them the power, then you complain about them having it.

    They don't have any power you don't give them.

    Sounds like an Amazon.com or Google Adwords account closure email. I guess when you're God on the internet, you can do pretty much anything you want to do.

    Its not good to get banned by Facebook while everyone know that how is their respond and service.
    If you get banned is hard to fix it anymore while facebook always do not reply or use auto respond email that not really help.
    Try to study term and regulation before place their ads.

    Hope they would not that strict is google adwords content.
