How to avoid/ lower risk of Getting your FB acc banned

ok so i've read many follow alongs and testing methods that have shown positive results for many people running dating on FB.

i hv also read about many getting their accounts banned running dating, especially when starting out in the beginning - fresh.

Therefore, i'd like to know the or maybe gather all valuable tips that seniors could provide, to help newcomers such as myself, to stay afloat/alive (not getting banned!).

so far i've gathered :

1) running ads to gather 'likes' before doing dating.
2) run non dating related ads for a while before doing dating.

any sort of tip is very much appreciated. *cheers*

Instead of focusing on how to not get banned (which is practically inevitable), you're better off focusing on how to create new accounts.

It's been known that members of the Facebook ads team read this forum, so any advice shared is only going to hurt the person giving it and make the process more difficult.

very hard !! People Buy accounts..so if you can create a few accounts and go to $1000 limit, You can make much more than what you do doing dating

haha so its more like...creating new accounts is easy, but getting them all to $1000 limit is a whole different story?

creating accounts is not easy, getting spend limit raised is not easy, there is nothing remotely easy about facebook

?
What do you mean by going to the $1,000 limit? Do you mean daily budget or all time spending?

That's the daily budget. You can't make much with an all-time spend of $1k.

Oh ok. I see what you're saying.

But would the likelihood of being banned drop if you have spent a good amount of money on a "legit" campaign?

I have never heard of Facebook accounts being banned and have never been in danger of it either.

In the world of IM, "a good amount of money" is probably around the $100K region...

What are people doing that is getting their accounts banned?

I don't mean to be ignorant on the topic but I would like to know so that I can avoid it.

Read the entire "Lost your FB account" thread. FB love to ban if you're a performance marketer. You are an individual. And at some stage, if they give you a $1000 account they know you can, if you go mental, bait and switch a child porn link to 100,000 people before they do can anything. Worldwide fiasco. This is the fucking risk to them. They don't want individuals. Yes, you can make it, but you need to be careful. Reviews of your account will get you snapped in a lot of cases, that is, if you're spending at your account limit and eligible for upgrade. Because they know there are many noob affiliates, and affiliates go crazy if there aren't any profits. They'll try new shit, they'll try crazy landing pages, they will bait and switch. Facebook isn't desperate for money, its biggest asset is its brand cleanliness.

To avoid the ban: follow the rules exactly... and pray.

i couldnt agree more. i guess self dicipline, and continue to stick by the rules of FB is the safest bet.

Thank you for the reply redrummr.

I'll just follow the rules and and pray, lol.

my penny on the subject as a recovering Banned(er). Google: fb pva then work on them instead of getting your own acct banned... my contacts on my real acct think i got abducted by aliens because what's the point of logging into my acct if i can't monetize it... lol. Now i literally have an acct for every 3 offers i run. screw Sucker-berg and co. p.s. i don't use my real name in fb and never have... i luv privacy too much to give them that pleasure... oh and for cc "wallyworld" works just fine.

what are 1k accounts worth on ol' FB these days? Face value?

I am literally dying to advertise on facebook.
But they have insane geo-location protection, and because I am now living in Eastern-Europe, I already got 3 accounts banned for no valid reasons except that I am in the wrong country!

For example my personal FB account, 10+yo with friends and activities (its my main account), got INSTA-BANNED when I added a funding source because I was in a different country than my bank address!

Join the club! I made the mistake of adding a funding source on my personal account of 10 yrs with my US address while in Brazil... Instabanned! Didn't even get an ad approved or run...

My friend who is now making multiples 100$ on FB dating gave me 2 links to contact FB over funding/ad-manager ban, they asked me by email a copy of passport. I gadly sent them. Minutes later I get the same fcking automated reply
"Hi,
Your ad account has been disabled because of fraudulent activity. To make Facebook a safe place for everyone, this decision is final.
The Facebook Ads Team"

What more they want than a freakin copy of my passport to prove I am Canadian?
