My tracking domain is blown on WOT. What should I do???? (14)

---

Just noticed today that my tracking domain is blown on WOT. I have over 30 facebook ads running through this domain. Any advice on what I should do about this? I will setup a new domain for tracking but I need to keep all of my existing campaigns running? Thanks for any input.

You of course want to switch to the new links unless you want Facebook to think you are cheating their system.

---

I don't understand what you are saying? What do you mean switch to the new links? Cheating their system?

---

use a cloaker on top of your tracker

---

If you aren't using a cloaker and you are using URLs that are negative ratings getting through Facebook's system, they can suspect you of cheating their system and then your accounts will be banned out of no where. Switch your links or cloak.

---

I don't see how that helps? The destination links of the FB ads can't be changed?

---

Again I don't understand what you are saying? I'm not cloaking. You can't switch out destination URLs of Facebook ads. So the only thing that can be changed are the aff links in Prosper. But that will not help the issue of the blown WOT tracking URL that the ads go to first. The destination links of the FB ads hit the tracking domain first before being redirected. I did $65k in revenue last month with these ads and can't just switch to a new domain. Maybe I don't understand what you are saying but it's not clear to me.

what i would do:

get a new tracking domain, or use a cloaker on top of your domain. that of course won't help you in changing the links on the ads that are already running. But you could make the EXACT same ads, use the new domain and see if it performs similar to the old one, then you pause the old one.

This way you're keeping your account longer and safer.. Or else you are just risking your account and you could risk losing your 65k rev this month by tomorrow when facebook decides to bitch up

---

The only thing you can do is make new ads or otherwise, just keep going and risk the account while you can.

---

setup a PHP redirect on a new domain. either way, you are going to have to modify your facebook links regardless - no way around it

---

Can you stop the ads?

Switch out domains .

Start new ads.

Would the use of CPVlab help to remedy this? Or would it have helped to have used CPVLab from the start?

Calm down. As far as I know FB cares primarily about the MyWoT score of the final destination URL that a user ends up on. Though there have been instances of certain domains being blacklisted this is unlikely MyWoT related, and you aren't silly enough to link directly to an affiliate link. Are you linking to a lander? If so change your FB ad URL destination file to one that simply redirects to the lander at a different domain - i.e. change the content of the current destination. One more redirect hop but destination now no longer flagged.

Without user complaints or a manual review by FB (e.g. if running high CTR dating ads and pushing boundaries) I don't see why you should be overly panicked. However, do make new campaigns with the same ads but going to an unflagged domain and see if you can slowly transition things across and get back to the same level of success.

I'm cool as a cucumber baby. But what you said above is exactly what I'm planning to do. Slowly transition existing ads to the new domain and will create all new ads on the fresh domain. Just trying to be proactive. As far as FB only caring about the final destination URL I don't think that is true. I have had problems with ads in the past because of burned URLs that weren't the final destination URLs. Also I have had more ads not approved lately, this could be coincidence and FB tightening up more or because of my red WOT domain.
