My short-lived newbie experience with affiliate marketing on Facebook

Hi all,
First off - Hi, I'm new here. This is a great site, and I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time here!

I just wanted to share my experience here in case it helped anyone down the line.
I thought I would get up to speed on Facebook PPC ads. I did some successful Facebook video ad campaigns for my own small businesses, (5% CTR) but I wanted to try out affiliate marketing through FB.

Since this was my first time doing this, I didn't want to chance harming my personal Facebook account, so I created a new account. And thank god I did....
I setup my first ad - I linked to a PeerFly product through a Prosper202 link I setup.

Not even 2 minutes after I submitted the ad, my ads account got disabled:
"Your account has been disabled. All of your ads have been stopped and should not be run again on the site under any circumstances. Generally, we disable an account if too many of its ads violate our Terms of Use or Advertising Guidelines."

After reading even more through WF, and other sites, I found that this is a notorious problem - not only for people trying to do PPC, but for everyday people just wanting to advertise things for their own businesses and pages.

It was a bit confusing because I first got a message that they wanted to verify my credit card, and that I had to send them my ID with my name and address, which I did. Then they sent me a message saying my ad was approved... very confusing. But then I couldn't use the ad manager - the notice above was posted there instead.

So anyway, I know this was discussed here before - just thought I'd describe my experience in case it helps anyone.

I noticed that some other folks around here choose to just keep trying, cycling through pre-paid credit cards and creating new Facebook accounts every time this happens (which sounds like very often), but all that seems way too high maintenance for me.

I'm going to go another route and start going through Chris Farrell's system

Cheers,
Marc
