FB Cust. Aud. greyed out. Banned?

12 replies
So when I go to upload a custom audience that I've gotten from a scraper... I get all the through the process until the last 'create audience' button. It is no longer active. Have a been semi-banned? Has this happened to anyone else?

    Are you targeting names?

      Did it just start working after a while or did you have to contact FB?

    something similar happened to me.i tried to upload my custom audiences USER ID's i got from FB lead jacker and my ads stopped getting approved. But when i edit my ad and remove the audiences,it gets approved. When its not approved i get a msg that says i violated by using vulgar language etc...but my ad doesnt use vulgar language.

    Facebook is denying ANY ads that use a custom audience and will give the generic "can't target names, age, etc" excuse as the reason. Although you may not fall within those violations, they're still denying the ads because they have a new platform rolling out in a few days that will prevent what they consider spam posts (name, age, etc listings). So no, you can't use custom audience targeting w/facebook.

    Custom audiences work just fine...although there has recently been a big problem associating them with Teespring ads.

    I've been running a lot of TS ads with custom audiences lately, but since about Friday the ads stopped getting approved. You can run general interest targets to TS pages and you can run custom audiences to other pages, but when you combine the two it's dead.

    This week's update will hopefully advise how to move forward.
