Are all the Facebook audience scrapers down?

2 replies
I see Facesniper is still not working. I tried a couple month old copy of Audiencemakr and that is throwing some sort of API error.

Has Facebook killed all the audience scrapers?

When I first used custom audiences about a month ago I saw good CTRs and optins. Now though it seems all my ads and posts with custom audiences have horrible CTRs. Do you think Facebook is penalizing them?

    Scraping User IDs is against TOS. So is using them for targeting.

    How long will a website with URL FACEBOOKIDSCRAPER.com last? LOL.

    Once again, Facebook will not allow scraped audiences, its not just a facebook rule but a big also a big moral no no, you care basically stealing peoples information.

    I know not many people know me on this forum, and people may think I know nothing of Facebook or marketing in that instance, but after 9 years in the game id like to think I have atleast a tiny amount of knowledge.

    I posted a reply weeks and weeks ago about how silly it was that people were using these scrapers, in my eyes they should not ever have been sold. The sales threads belonged more in blackhat forums than warrior forum.

    Using things like this you will never learn the real basics of marketing, you may make some good money in the short term, but when it all starts crumbling down then you are waiting for the next thing.

    Learn some basic marketing, I have just finished my first ever tee campaign with over 100% ROI without using any kind of scraper. I learnt new things too so I know I will probably break 200% on my next campaign. All this without needing to worry about my ads accounts getting banned or cease and desist letter landing on my door mat.

    I think you will find the popular, most expensive and most sold scrapers are no longer useable as the owners are sitting on nice cease and desist letters telling them to never use Facebook again, hand over all sites and script and earnings made from selling the software. I know they have for a fact, do a little search, you will even find out here on WF I am telling the truth, and I am sure anybody who has a good marketing background will back me up.

    Also if you have abused scrapers do be prepared to get a cease and desist from Facebook lawyers and them asking for you to hand over any money made whilst using the scraped IDs.

    If the software creators cared about there customers as much as they make out they would never of sold you the software in the first place, as any good software creator will know, if they are automating anything they would first check with the sites TOS to make sure they are not putting themselves or there customers in danger.

    But hey I know nothing and people peddling you this software really do care about you and not making money off you.

    Ive gone on a bit, been a long night partying, so peace out
