Facebook Ads Approval - Garcinia Cambogia

9 replies
Why the crap aren't my ads getting approved???

I own a line of weight loss/nutritional supplements that I've done really well with in the affiliate realm. I'm finally getting dirty with FB after hearing how well some of my friends have done.

I just submitted my first round of ads for approval on a Buy One Get One Garcinia Cambogia offer, and I'm getting no love whatsoever. I've read Facebook ad guidelines at least 10 times and cross-checked my ads for violations. Here's an example of one of my ads:

Headline: Garcinia BOGO Sale!
{Pic of my bottle}
Control hunger & Lose Weight. Buy 1 Get 1 FREE today! Ships Free. No Auto Charges...Ever!

FB replied to my message asking them why in the crap my ads aren't getting approved, and they gave me 4 different possible reasons. From what I see, none of those reasons are relevant to my ads. They said I could modify and resubmit, so I know Garcinia isn't banned or I wouldn't be allowed to create any other ads for it.

Can anyone shed some light as to why I can't get these ads pushed through? Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way or need some "extra help".

P.S. - This is not a trial offer, which is why this is throwing for an even bigger loop.

    That seems like a lot of text. Was one of the reasons they gave you something along the lines of being over the 20% text limit?

    I'd try to cut out the "lose weight" part and see if it gets approved...

      That would be the first thing I would do. You can't tell people they need to lose weight because it is essentially calling them fat...according to Facebook logic.

      You can talk about weight loss, but you can't tell someone to lose weight.

      Is the account fairly new or unused? Facebook dont really like diet products anyway, the way people run diets etc on Facebook these days are usually by cloaking
      nonsense! I have a ton of facebook ads running now with affiliate links and it is not a problem

    Is the landing page an auto play video?

    Is there an exit pop up?

    Both of those are usually my two biggest reasons ads don't get approved

    It is probably because you have a lot of text. Anyhow Facebook gives you the reason why the ads are not approved if you look into it you'll find it.

    Here's an explanation of the policy: https://www.facebook.com/help/224866337548977

    Unacceptable:
    "Lose 25 lbs in 25 days"or "Feeling Fat?"
    "Want to Lose Weight?"
    (These are unacceptable because they indicate an unhealthy amount of weight loss in a given period and imply that someone is of a certain body type.)

    I don't think they will approve ads of this nature, they have been trying to cut out products like this for a while now

    Garcinia Cambogia products seem to be a "No Go" with Facebook now. All the auto re-bill programs ruined it for every one.
