How Do You Get Through The Blocked Payments?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make some campaigns on Facebook and I'm rather new btw. Not to marketing in general, but to PPC. My two payments methods(PayPal and my CC) have both been on accounts that are now 'blocked' or so to speak. So every time I try with a new account(bought) I get an error when trying to pay for my ads. How can I bypass this? How are all of you Facebook advertisers doing this?

Best Regards,

I fixed this, nevermind. How come my ads accounts get disabled every time I create an ad though? It's something about them thinking I am getting logged in somewhere else?

Because it's completely against Facebook's terms of service and they are exceptionally good at catching people doing this.

How did you burn your accounts?

Right now I think my problem is that my accounts get disabled because of unusual payment activity. How does that even make sense? And more importantly; how can I fix this? I still haven't managed to get 1 single click from Facebook as my accounts get disabled over and over again.

Hopefully some of you can help me on this.

Thanks!

The unusual payment activity is simply Facebook's way of telling you that they know you are linked with a banned account or are breaking their ToS.

It's not that there was actually some unusual transactions.

It's very hard to beat Facebook and almost impossible for someone inexperienced (there are literally a dozen things you need to address).

Again, how did you get your original account banned? What are you trying to advertise?

Yea just because the payment is blocked doesnt have to mean its anything to do with it. Also are you creating a brand new account and then immediately trying to advertise on it? Its a red flag right away and they do this on all new accounts.

I see.. Yeah, I feel like I can't do anything to make them satisfied. Adwords let me run the campaigns though but we all know how expensive they are for many keywords. I was advertising CPA offers.

The first account was not new at all. I was probably just breaking their ToS in some way..

I feel like the best traffic source is search traffic from the major engines as those are the most relevant visitors I can get. Do you agree? I mean, what other traffic sources have you used and had success with, with CPA?

Thanks guys!

Best traffic source = search?

A very unqualified statement.

Without very specific information about your offer, angle and various other parameters we cant say anything about what traffic sources are useful let alone which will give then most relevant (no necessarily most profitable...) users.

FYI people are making affiliate offers work on pretty much every traffic source out there. But there is a wide range of things that people do...

Essentially I feel like hes saying whats the best way to get the highest ROI... and my answer is long tail keywords or super niche specific domains using PPV networks... its also one of the cheapest to try. But yes anything can work, and other things can definitely make you more money like facebook or adult, but it also requires a lot more initial investment and lower margins for the bigger bucks.
