Getting back into FB ads, have a few questions

It's been about 2 years since I last ran a campaign on FB ads and I'm looking to dive back in.

Are they still affiliate friendly?
Do they allow diet and dating offers?
Direct linking allowed?

Thank you

    I'd say facebook isn't affiliate friendly but you can still use them for affiliate offers
    Dating is pretty much dead on facebook
    I wouldn't recommend direct linking

    Facebook was abused by dating sites years ago so I don't think it is still allowed.
    With regards to affiliate links, below is an article that talks about it.

    Affiliate Links Blocked by Facebook

    Most social networking sites have strict policies regarding spam. We certainly understand and respect their policies. Facebook, LinkedIn and others will implement blocks to prevent potential spam. These blocks are implemented on the domain as well as the IP address associated with the domain. If just one of your affiliates abuses these social networking sites, it will ruin it for all your other affiliates. Advertisers and networks must monitor their affiliates to ensure their domains don’t get blocked. This process is very similar to how email services block emails from sources identified as spam. Even good emails can sometimes get caught in these filters; posting affiliate links on social network sites is the same.

    Affiliate programs can ensure their links aren’t blocked by Facebook and other sites by having their tracking domains operate on a custom IP address. The IANA allots Internet companies like ourselves a certain number of IP addresses. We provide these dedicated IPs to Enterprise clients only. If you are HasOffers Basic and Pro client and want to ensure your affiliate links can be posted on social media sites, you should think about upgrading to Enterprise for a dedicated IP address. This way another network’s affiliates’ activity isn’t connected to your network’s tracking domain.

    I hope this helps bring some clarity to the issue of sharing affiliate links on Facebook. There will always be new filters and blocks to prevent potential spam, and we certainly understand the importance of providing the tools people need to be compliant. Keep your eyes peeled for those updates regarding OGP, and good luck.

    The source though was written years ago but I think it still makes total sense.

    I would say they are not very affiliate friendly, but you can still run affiliate/CPA offers as long as you follow the rules or get creative.

    I have a different opinion from the others here.. If by "affiliate-friendly" you mean "direct-linking", then they are not. But if what you mean to ask is, "do they allow affiliate marketing products".. then the reply is "they do".
    There are numerous people out there promoting affiliate marketing products on FB. But direct-linking, dating etc. is a strict no-no. I have had some decent success with weight loss products from Clickbank. But all of that was done by sending the traffic to a landing page or, a blog article. If done right, they work well.
