Facebook account disabled

I was running a few campaigns for facebook dating apps only. I think they are cracking down hard on affiliates again.

in the last few weeks there has been a considerable increase in reported apps and accounts being disabled.

Were you running Flirt and Benaughty?

Those are not allowed. Worth a shot trying to get your account back
though, I've heard many people succeed in doing that.

Yes both offers.

From everyone's experience, what are the most common factors that cause accounts to get banned? Is it primarily cloaking, or...?

I would guess that it's mainly from linking to offers that aren't Facebook friendly - that's my opinion

Damn man, that's shitty. Do you have a 2nd account? I can go through with you the steps to get a second account up, it's not 100% fullproof but usually works.

Main 3 reasons for facebook bans:
- Having an ad up that's against the rules, having it disapproved once running, then running it again (#1)
- Submitting an ad against the rules to many times in a row (#2)
- Running an ad against the rules, and them realizing it's cloaked = prob an auto ban (#3)

@stackman

I do not currently have any banned accounts, but is there a strategy behind setting up multiple accounts?

Right now I currently only have one account. If I sign up for more should I use a different, name, address, and credit card? With AMEX I can easily add "sub-cards" and put whatever name I want on it and it will have a completely new credit card number, but still be on the same account. I imagine that I can specify a different billing address for it as well.

Just want to be ready in case the ban hammer comes down. I got banned from Google a couple years ago and it wasn't very fun...

^^ Jay,
I'm just going to write a new post for your questionso it can be archived. Up in 5

The capabilities you mentioned of your AMEX is pretty much perfect though, should work fine.

I have 3 more accounts LOL. I think my main problem was cloaking the fb apps.

I used to had dozens accounts and all got banned because of biz opp and berries. Last thing I did was using accounts under relatives and close friends cc's, and I paid their cc's and also gave them rewards (money+gifts). It lasted like 8 months. Wild but worked.

Actually Yes! I do this with people very close to me and who I trust only. Not any "friend".
