Advice if you still have a FB account you VALUE! **** :)

Not been posting a lot lately because I have been lazy and there has been major facebook turmoil. I have a $xxxx per day facebook business and did not want to risk my account until I figured out what was going on. I also had to set up a new tracking domain and prosper install. So this is what I know FOR A FACT. Facebook has upgraded it's automated requirements for ad approvals. Especially when we are talking about basic TOS guidelines such as interested in targeting. I tried to sneak a few international ads through without out interested in selected. They did not get approved, but went into review process and eventually were denied hours later. Then I duplicated these exact same ads and changed the interested in criteria to women. The ads were approved within 2 minutes. Moral of the story: Yes not selecting interested in can get you a lower CPC advantage; however, the extra risk is not worth it. If you have good international ads, you might be looking at a .05 CPC versus a .12 CPC. It just isn't worth it. Get a ton of ads approved and then maybe try to sneak a few through, but it's not necessary. Stack that money, and move forward

Agreed. Chosing the proper targeting is a smart idea. Leaving out targeting options (not selecting interested in) is a bad idea and will cost you more money in the long run.

Cliff's Notes :

Using interests helps with approvals and CPC.

Thank you both.

Does this mean you switched gendrs for your offers from offers to men to offers to women?

Great advice naesm. Any tips for obtaining new accounts if you do get banned? Or have you done this all w/ one account?

No, he went from not specifying interested in to specifying it. In his follow along you can see that he was able to do a lot better by not specifying it. Because he didn't have to compete w/ ppl that had the exact same metrics.
