Tracking issue with facebook and prosper202

I set up may tracking in prosper, but now i stuck on creating the fb ad.
First i insert my url (xxx.com/tracking202/redirect/dl.php?t202id......
But nothing can be fetched.

When i want to save my ad it ends with an error:
Invalid parameter: Sentry () threw a restriction on category .

Where is my mistake?

What do you mean by "nothing can be fetched"?

Does it mean that when you try the link in the browser, nothing shows up?

When I type in the URL, normaly Facebook trys to fetch Information about the linked site.

In my case nothing is shown up.
On the right site, where the Ad-Preview should appear it says couldn't load preview. Maybe its something else, because I use Facebook in german not in english

it could be possible that facebook is not liking the multiple redirects... you can try setting cloaking to "Off - Override Campaign Default" and see if that works.

Let me know what happens

Maybe you do a bait and switch to avoid this.

Basically you point your FB ads to a file named go.php.

During the approval time go.php redirects to the offer page right away without redirecting through prosper.

After they approve just make it redirect through your P202 link and you are done.

Bam! Even better. Good call.

Try creating a campaign in the power editor. When you enter the URL it doesn't pull creatives / text from the landing page, which is what's causing the error.

Thx for your input. I will give it a try.

I'm using FB and P202 to track KWs. So far, so good.
