How to avoid ban on Facebook?

by BFX
19 replies
Hi Warriors,

I have a new ecomm store and I posted free ads in about 25 groups daily for about 2 weeks.
No group admin did not reject my ads but Facebook banned me when I deleted some groups. Then I got banned for posting and commenting in all groups for a week.
I wrote them: guys, what did I do wrong, what is the matter with you?
No reply.
Maybe they've got upset because I intended to make an ad campaign and changed my mind when I saw how Business Manager works.

Or God knows what did I do wrong because I understood is allowed to post in groups.

What is your opinion, what should I do not to be banned again?
It made me anxious this situation of posting on Facebook.

I wrote even to Zuckerberg but did not reply... Lol.

Thanks for your advice, have a great day!

    You spammed Facebook, you got banned. What were you expecting to happen if you spam?

    Yes, putting ads all over Facebook will get you noticed for sure, but not by the people you want to notice you...lol

    Facebook is very fickle when it comes to spam and will ban you without notice. Just make sure to read the Terms of Service it will help guide you with what you should and shouldn't post.

    Facebook wants to make money from Advertisers, you are doing FREE advertising which is pissing them off.

      Of course! If you own a web platform, how would you feel about people using your platform for free to make money?

    It is pretty annoying and you need to ensure whatever page you are posting on that you're not breaking their rules.

    At the end of the day. Facebook is trying to make money so posting willy nilly on all the pages you like and trying to get free exposure is like a red flag.

    Posting n 25 groups daily for two weeks would definitely provide a reason for Facebook to ban you.

    If you are looking to promote your ecommerce store, I would recommend either doing a giveaway on your page and trying to get some organisation reach or paying for some advertising.

    Hi,

    First, thanks to everybody for the precious help.
    Do you imagine I was so stupid I did not know I am doing spam? I thought everybody is doing this and why not me? I have a canadian friend who posts like this but she was banned as well ...

    I will now definitely read the Terms of services for fan pages and business.
    I am a stupid beginner in Social Media, only one month old.
    Adding on this is what you elegantly emphasized that they want to advertise with them.
    I would if I would be certain I will not through my money on the window. I keep on reading posts on forums and watch tutorials on you tube and some, many people said the ads on Facebook only took the money without results. My canadian friend was forced to stop the Facebook campaign because was reaching 1 $ per click!!!! And no sale.
    But I do not want to bore you, once again THANKS a lot, I did not know I was spamming.
    Have a nice sunny day!

    Always use your real name and do not add people you don't know and don't share same content too many times on your profile, pages and also in groups.

    You mean 3 posts a day or the same post 3 posts?
    Because if you post 3 same posts a day.. people get furious, of course.
    I would! hahhaha.

    This is certainly true. Don't advertise too much in groups. You can however post in your FB page.

    The fact is if you are spending over $3k a day on ads, more or less, your account will be at risk anyways, and its a matter of WHEN not IF. Of cause people who direct link (affiliate) or promote products or services that is against FB TOS, at some point a ban is coming a lot faster.

    People who are running FB ads on this thread who have not been banned, 1 reason is because they are not doing high volume to be on the radar. Which is why they can say that.

    Many marketers who do high volume traffic knows this.

    So what do you do..?

    Start to prepare for the worst, just like how survivalist prepare for the worst case, so when it happens, you wont need to move to a new traffic platform and complain here.

      Thanks, very good advice..
      I sell women lingerie, sexy dresses and stockings. I did not post in groups anymore but I still got banned to post pictures!!! They are really crazy. believe me... Without any notice they banned me without even saying for how much time. I can not post any picture, not even in private messages to friends!
      I do not get what I am doing wrong!!!!
      What should I read?
      Thanks.

        If you are running ads to your sexy woman clothes (I have not seen your images) but that might be against FB TOS.

        if you plan on running ads on FB you should read the FB ads guidelines so you can understand why you got banned - most likely because you are selling sex related items.

        You have 3 options here.

        1: dispute their decision until you are blue in the face - believe me it will take some time. You will get the same message (it's our final decision) over and over, over, over again. Do it until a rep replies.

        2: read my first post and start a new life.

        3. Find a new traffic source and give up on FB

    A few months ago I've also got the same issues but after sometimes the block has been cleared. So wait for some days. After unblocking your account, share limited groups and links per day.

      I did not spam this time. I only posted on my page elegant decent dresses.
      And by the way I have two colleagues they have 2 shops and they post daily in groups. No ban for them. They post ads of course. Many.

    Let some time pass between posts
    Create original content
    Make it personal (and be careful with tagging)
    Understand how Facebook works
    Don’t act like a spammer

    If you got banned, it means you were overly promotional. Make sure that your Facebook activity resembles that of a normal user and don't just spam your links.
