Facebook advertising cracking down on Clickbank!

Curious if your FB Ad directly linked to a Clickbank Affiliate Product ?


- Robert Andrew

All of these big companies start out by allowing the masses in and then they
claim that they have to "clean up" their platform. Do you mean in this day
and age with so many other advertising platforms they couldn't start
out "clean"? They are the ones who set up the rules in the first place.

But you see, they want the money from everyone at first and when they
get established they kick the small guy to the curb--when they have the
big multimillion dollar account from the major businesses. Typical story.

PLUS most big advertising platforms don't like direct marketers, period.
They want "branders".

You should link to a squeeze page instead of directly linking to the CB offer. Not a lot of advertisement programs like direct offers so just link to a squeeze page instead.

Are you sure it had to do with it just being a clickbank product? Or most likely the actual product you where promoting that just happens to be on clickbank?

No surprise. I believe it was Shoemoney who reported long ago that Facebook was originally excited about the "idea" of affiliate marketers buying ads.

Then the tsunami of garbage hit and they've been tightening the ship ever since.

Just like Google and others.

Fact is, the "IM" industry is so full of scams, frauds, spam and overall crap, particularly involving Clickbank, the only thing I find surprising about a Clickbank crackdown is it didn't happen before now.

As far as permanent account bans, just like everyone else before them they start off trying to educate, give second changes, provide support ... but by the time they have to deal with the 20,000th slimehole and intentional repeat offenders it becomes an easier, quicker, and less expensive option to terminate accounts and that is that.

The collateral damage to a few good marketers caught up in this considered well worth the cost of cleaning out the sludge.

It's a shame. Even here on the forum, for special offers there are new rules to try to clean it up. You can expect that to continue.

Preferring large accounts? Sure. It's a no brainer. If Ford, a reputable company is buying $500k of ads in a month, compared to a horde spending $100 and sending users to squeeze pages where emails are then sold, and questionable make money offers, or how to grow three inches in a month, and whatever CB has which create complaints, poor user experience on FB, and a time suck for staff - which would you choose?

.

Does it affect people DL spammy offers or is it okay so still drive traffic to squeeze pages. Mine personally (after the optin) goes into a series of upsells w/ VSL's

They are my own products. I haven't noticed my account having any changes yet but will this kind of funnel be affected soon?

Ughhh, welcome to the ever evolving world of IM. Just when you think you have something figured out you have to move on to something else. It's ridiculous. At least a heads up or warning would be nice.

Thanks for the heads up. However, I've got to think that it has more to do with the specific site you're linking to, product its advertising, and ad you're running than it does with the fact that its on clickbank. I could be wrong though....
