Facebook approval hell

[AffApprentice]

I know this is hardly a new problem and that I'm not saying anything groundbreaking here, but facebook is disapproving my dating ads left and right seemingly randomly. The exact same creative may get approved or disapproved. And they seem to be getting worse -- it's harder and harder to get an ad approved.

Does anyone have any tips for getting approved?

PS: Before anyone asks - yes, I'm sending traffic to a static LP, not my affiliate link, until it's approved so I know it's not an issue of someone in India not being able to see my LP. The rejection reasons I get are vague nonsense about "inappropriate language" even though my copy is along the lines of "Find a date on foo.com."

Hello friend,

If ad no approved by Facebook, should pray to Lord Vishnu for help.

Good luck bro

PS: E-MAIL THEM

Your ads are getting disapproved because I have an army of leaves that fly from branch to branch landing on fire ants.

I work at Facebook... so I disapprove your ads so I can run them myself. Sucka

Man the other day I saw a car insurance ad with a creative showing a lady wearing a Bikini sitting in a sports car.

Just try again.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I actually did email and they responded quickly (whoa! every other time I've done that they've taken 2-3 days) so good advice.

Here's another related question:

I usually can't get international offers approved on Facebook when I put the affiliate link right in my offer because the offer is geo-targeted and will redirect to Webfetti or some nonsense if the approver isn't in the right geo. So I put in my Prosper link, point it to a static LP, pause the ad, and then when it's approved I swap in my affiliate link. I image others do the same? The problem I see with this is I'm now forcing int'l users to redirect through my US-based servers, and I'm guessing this adds enough latency to hurt my conversions.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there another way to get a geo-targeted offer approved on FB? Guessing you can't just email them and explain the offer redirection (among other things, draws attention to yourself as an affiliate).

 

[elchango]

you need to ask the network to remove the geo-targetting.

you need to ask the network to remove the geo-targetting.

I agree with this.

Swapping out of affiliate links sounds
like a terribly dangerous thing to do.
