Just wanted to throw that out there.

Reasons:
- Click fraud
- Carelessly mass-disapproving campaigns with no disregard (even if they are *legitimate campaigns within Facebook guidelines*)
- Carelessly mass-banning of accounts w/ no chance for appeal
- Horrible support for advertisers. No option for 1-on-1 representative support, even when spending heavily (>$30k/day) - they simply do not give a shit.
- Cannot "reply" to emails received from the bullshit "affiliates@facebook.com" email - I asked them to change that and they pretty much said "fuck no"
- Support queries gone days without response
- Support carelessly responds to emails and 50% of the time they do not even complete the tasks that you had asked them to in the initial support query
- too many damn hurtles to jump through just to get a campaign running
- Douchebag representatives - I won't name drop, but there are several DOUCHEBAGS Facebook representatives that don't give 2 shits about you even if you have dough to spend
- Anal advertiser guidelines - too much reliance on their automated system that punishes advertisers whom Facebook users "thumbs down" - since when the fuck is advertising given so much control to the users? There is literally no checks and balances for this type of system and has made many campaigns unproftiable and weak because of it
- Overall the NUMBER 1 pain-in-the-ass traffic source I have EVER worked with, hands fucking down

Anyone else have any beef with Facebook that they wanna vent?

Fuck you Facebook!
 


I just set up my first campaign on them last night and they kept disapproving my fucking ads. I was getting kind of pissed but I finally got one through... and now I'm not getting as many impressions as I'd like to see.
 
True, I always stop using them but find myself there again a week later...

But agree 100% with everything. It's fucking bullshit
 
My first campaign to blow up was on FB, but I still won't run shit with them anymore until they fix their problems.

Although, there is much money to be made I rather find traffic sources that you can "set it and forget it" or at least for longer than FB.
 
FB is just a fad. It will die out in a few years..look at myspace.
Check the trends on FB now..many age demos are DECLINING...
Whenever a business is booming, they tend to be arrogant.
 
When's Twitter gonna get an adplatform going? That's an even bigger fad than FB and Myspace, so if they wanna monetize it then now is the time to get it going.
 
Agree completely, I hate them.

Their ad approval process is just plain fucked. Months ago I put up a campaign for a free MacBook, got it approved in minutes and it did well. I decided to do an offer for another free computer, and no matter what I did, they would not approve it. I changed it 25 times, and even though it was within guidelines, it would always get kicked.

Until they fix the way they look at and approve ads, I won't waste my Mother Fucking time with them.
 
i agree fuck facebook and borg-like reps that never approved anything. Thier terms are so crazy that instead of writting everything in this planet that you cant advertise why dont they just tell you what you can. Failboat
 
Holy Batman.. $30K per DAY.

WAO.

I was punching myself in the stomach for spending 50 bucks on google adwords :D (but alas, I'm a noob, so I'll stfuppercut).
 
I have never come across a company so against making money as facebook.

I submitted ads for the most tame dating site I could find recently.. and they disapproved it because it was inappropriate? CLEARLY they have no interest in taking my money. It's amazing.

I think they're also against human procreation since they don't want their lonely users who spend 8 hours a day checking out girls on facebook (whom they'd never talk to in real life) to sign up for a dating website. WTF, seriously. I don't get it.
