What the hell ... (19)

What the hell ...
Not sure what is going on with Facebook lately but I am seeing all kinds of dating ads that cannot possibly pass review.
Forget cloaking, I'm talking near x-rated banners. The headline text is also using ascii characters, I am guessing to bypass some systems but I thought those were manually verified?
I'm kinda new over here, I would post the banners but I want to make sure it is allowed.
Are those agency accounts you guys think? Makes me sick.

I generally only use agency accounts and I'd never be able to get that approved by just submitting it normally - unless someone was sleeping at the switch and even then they'd probably be retro'd.

Outing someone else's ads is not cool. That being said, that must be some nice ROI with some of those ads :x

Seen that in Switzerland with my personal fb account, some images are outrageous and the adcopy almost porn. Really curious how these guys get these ads approved

I hear ya... but do you find this is cool for us affiliates (well, most of us!) that are legit and bust their balls trying to come up with stuff that is nowhere near this outrageous?
By all means, I can remove the links if the mods don't approve, but I thought you'd all want to know what is going on. I'm in Canada, if it means anything.

Well to be totally honest with you - I give kudos to the persons doing this. Since FB banned dating, the "legit" guys who don't have whitelisted accounts can't get those ad spots anyway.
Just don't tell me you're one of those guys who also flags these ads to FB... In general, that's not done in this industry.

I don't get the point of this thread. Anybody with access to a spy tool will know what these ads are. ANYBODY can get these approved, it's not hard.
Nobody is stopping you from running these ads, and they shouldn't be making you feel angry or jealous that you're not running them. If you can back this strategy up with the number of accounts it takes, then go ahead and test. You should be thankful people are running these ads, because the slimy ads are the ones that get the highest x-out (ad reporting) rates, meaning your not-as-slimy ad only falls into the above-average category of reporting rates. Do you want these ads to go away and have your ads be the most reported on the entire platform? I didn't think so. These guys are a necessary evil.
Just pick your strategy and move forward, no need to post threads like this. If you're running safe stuff you can still make a shitload of money and your accounts will last longer. Make a decision and stick with it.

I can see why you're mad. You're trying to play "fair" while others are breaking blatantly the rules.
You have to throw the "concept" of fair out the window if you want to be successful at this industry.
- I make a landing page and everyone rips it the same day. Is that fair?
- I'm doing a media buy, but my competitor is best friends with the traffic source manager and gets ads 25% cheaper than I do, is that fair?
If a guy can get those kind of ads approved and make like $3k a day profit vs. running "legit" stuff on FB for $300 a day profit, which one should he do?
I've been in the industry for over half a decade. If you want to make a lot of money, you need every "edge" you can get. You need all the advantages and you have to milk it for all its worth. That's the difference between 7 figure affiliates, and guys who can't even make a full-time income.
Don't complain about the way the industry should be. See it for what it is and adapt.
