It sucks monkey balls. The past 25 ads or so I submitted have gotten denied. I keep trying to comply to their idiotic requests but it seems impossible to get approved in this fucking company. That 23 year old billionaire (whatever his name is) can kiss my ass.

I'm sure most people have similar results, but how do you get around that? Anyone can share some tips or a post that discusses these issues.

I'm eager to get fb going but the ad approval process is ridiculous and myspace the conversion rate isn't as good it seems.
 


Mark Zuckerberg is that billionaire...

I'm in the same boat man. I've created roughly the same number of ads you have and can't get ANYTHING approved. It's pissing me off.
 
keep submitting. giving up after 25 is nothing. morning (EST) usually work the best for me and also towards the evening like 5ish when ads getting approved on the fly. ymmv.
 
I usually only submit one ad to see if it gets disapproved or approved. Then wait 4-10 hours to see what happens.......I've been trying to get this campaign going for the last 3 days, but I haven't found a landing page they like yet.
 
wooo just got a shitload of ads in. took me awhile to get imacros working the right way, but that program is a godsend.
 
I humped a girl that used to hump Zuckerberg so the way I figure it I'm destined to make monies on the interwebz.
 
I've been fucking around trying to get email/zip submits approved all week, and not just a slap together fucking ad here, I'm talking examining every word in the ad and on the landing page, looking at every image in the ad and on the landing page to make 100% sure that its legit and follows there ad guidelines.

Well I've created several which are 100% in compliance, i spent time making damn sure they were and guess what they still fucking denied them.

As far as I can tell FaceBook employees have been told that if you see a landing page with a big place to enter in only your zip of email address dis-approve the ad.

What gets me more is that I've said ok no fucking quick easy cash with this lets play around a little bit to find what might be working this new years, so found some pay-per-sale offers which I get paid upon credit card submit, created the ad, targeted it, ect...

Right after that I submitted it and boom approved all 3 of them (All related).

So I said well what the fuck these landing pages need more info and are more in your face asking for that info then the zip/email submits are, facebook is stupid.

Until upon further investigation I found this out.

FaceBook will pretty much dis-approve any ad which leads to a page where the user is told they will get a free gift, be entered into a gift draw, or anything else related to the idea of a free item or gift, if that user has to perform some other action (Other then entering in there info) in order to get that gift.

As we all know pretty much all zip/email submits require the user to fill out there email address, then on the next page fill out 2 silver, 4 gold, and 9 platnium offers to get your gift.

If facebook see's that then your ad is as good as gone.
 
I'll add to Aequitas comment that FB also denies pretty much any dating ad, even when complying with their impossibly-strict ad standards relating to dating.

I had a bunch of ads denied for no good reason. For example they denied an ad with the copy text "Sexy chatting on true.com." for incorrect capitalization. WTF would correct capitalization look like in that sentence?

But hey, no one ever said making money was easy.

make sure you put the name of the company (eharm, mate, etc.) in the text of the ad. Once I did this, ive gotten every dating ad approved there.
 
Later tonight I'm going to try something which has most likely been tried and has failed horribly in the past but it would be pimp if it worked, I'm going to set up a very basic landing page with a poll system on it.

Then I'm not going to make any promises to the user except say something like fill out this poll and enter your information on the next page to be entered into a sweepstakes draw of (lets say an iphone offer).

The poll will be something stupid like "Which is better MySpace Or FaceBook?" take the poll now and enter your name into the Iphone sweepstakes.

From there you create your ad about the poll, link to your landing page, making no promises to the user, ect... staying in full compliance with the FB ads guidelines and rules, and when they vote, re-direct them to the iphone sweepstakes offer and hope they fill it out.

I think if planned correctly it can work if the ad can get approved on facebook, this would enable us to go after the email/zip kinda offers a little easier then direct linking.

It's probably going to fail but I figure I haven't tried that method yet and its worth a shot, never know until you try it out for yourself.

I've had success getting two pickup ebook ads approved. You must have a gender selected, a "single" status (bye bye Ashley Madison) and an "interested in" preference set. Your pic can be a girl, but not too edgy afaik. These mormons disapproved text such as "get the girl", "picking up" and "seducing" and approved "meet women" and "date properly". By that experience I'd say they're looking for specific "edgy" words to disapprove, so if you keep it very PG you'll get by.

I'm yet to make a penny off FB btw.
 
I'll just say I have had no problems getting dating ads approved. Or anything else, really. Haven't had anything disapproved in weeks now, which is a nice change from the past.

Yeah I've been having issues with a few offers but I think I found the bottom line issue of why some ads are dis-approved when they appear to be fully operational and compliant.

I'm going to talk to someone at facebook via phone monday hopefully and report back here with a few things about what I learn about the ad approval process and affiliate networks.
 
Their approval is seriously retarded. But the money is there if you want to put the effort in.

Another option would be to hire some one to either submit and manage them for you, or write something to do it. The return on that investment is there for sure.
