NEW Facebook Ads

Check your logs. If your traffic is normal and not coming from bots, then chances are your problem isn't facebook, but your LP, offers or ad content. Things change, and what worked for you yesterday might not work today.

Also, 120 clicks isn't even close to enough data to definitely say something is fishy. You need at least 300-400 clicks for it to be statistically relevant.
 


Are 3,000 clicks a day enough? It's either scrubbing or the traffic quality and given that I'm seeing this across several offers with different back-end advertisers I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
 
Run the same ad in the same demo for awhile and that's exactly what you will see.... Do you use tracking 202 so you can look at the IPs of the incoming clicks? After you run an ad long enough on facebook you might notice more than half of the clicks coming from IPs that have already clicked on the ad.

Im still sitting at over 98% unique.

a lot of those people have been AOL IPs for me so that is to be expected.

I'm thinking if I say I have great ROI, they will start jacking up prices.

What do you all think? Tell them their traffic sucks/isn't worth shit, and hope that makes them drop prices?
 
only people who will answer are the ones that are pissed off



on that note, i'm pretty fucking pissed acai isn't making shit on facebook for me
 
Can anybody help with this problem. Yes, I am a facebook and forum newbie, but been doing this for 5+ years on other networks and just been too busy with other businesses till now. I have read every page of this thread so I have tried my best to answer this myself before asking you experts.

I have submitted multiple different offers and about 40 ads to the US and internationally and 5 out of 6 times they have been disapproved with this lame message:

* The destination URL of this ad either violates Facebook's Advertising Guidelines or could not be reviewed. All sites must be viewable in the US. In addition, all sites must be running and functioning properly. If the landing page could not be reviewed due to visitor IP restrictions, a URL typo or other site outage, please make the necessary changes before submitting this ad again. Sites are also prohibited from trapping a user's browser in any way when a user chooses to leave the site. Sites that include content or behavior prohibited by sections 2, 16, and 17 of Facebook's Advertising Guidelines will not be accepted in any form and should not be resubmitted.

The merchant geo targets their traffic so if you come from the US to this international offer you simply see the US targetted page instead of the internationally targetted page which really looks identical. So it is not like Facebook cant see the page.

I am using Prosper202 for tracking and am not cloaking. These offers are from NeverBlue. I have even tried direct linking to the NeverBlue url and still gets declined. Back button works fine. Offer page works fine all over the world, everything is kosher and since this is multiple offers this is happening to it is weird.

Is this just Facebook fucked up or am I missing something fucking obvious here? The one ad that I did get through is profitable and I want to scale.

Contacted a rep but was assigned Jeff Iden, from what I can tell everyone has him so I doubt I will get an answer.

Do I just keep re-submitting?
 
when are you submitting? the middle of the night? these US targeted offers? if so... someone from outside US is looking at ur ads... attempt to submit them during normal PST times. If these are out of US offers... the US team needs to be able to see the landing page... you can create a LP that isnt country specific and link to the offers.

Good luck

I get that stupid message all the time too. If your aff link is going to site.com/tracking/test/8439330/blahblablah just cloak it to go to site.com until it's approved. Then there's absolutely no way you will get that message anymore :)

I have tried submitting at all times of the day during business hrs and not during business hrs so I dont think it is the time of the day like the previous poster suggested.

Ok, so let me get this straight so I dont do this wrong and waste all my time again.

The url I am giving FaceBook currently is:
*******.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id=*****&t202kw=

That goes to a NeverBlue url like:
http://fbgdc.com/ click/?s=*****&c=*****

Which then gets redirected to merchants site:
www.****.com

Are you saying Facebook hates the affiliate looking NeverBlue url and to simply make Prosper202 go directly to the www.****.com merchant site until approved and then change Prosper202 to my affiliate url?

I know people cloak like this all the time to get around bans. Or should I simply give Facebook www.*****.com/url2.php which in turn redirects to Prosper202 which redirects to NeverBlue which redirects to merchant?

Thanks for the help.
 
anyone else getting everything rejected today? i change the targeting on the same ads i've been running and submit... and they're all getting rejected.
