Do I need to disclosed a subscription fee in my IQ/Quizzes ad?

Hey bro,

"IQ/Quizzes service requires a subscription fee that is not adequately disclosed in your ad."
My advertising was always refused about IQ/Quizzes offer, because I didn't disclosed the subscription fee.
What should I do? or making a landing page?

I think that means they want you to disclose the subscription in the ad, not on a lander. You could try adding "Subscription required." to the ad itself. I assume you're talking about Facebook here, right? I've done that before and had it work but that was a LONG time ago, so you may not have the same results. It's like when you promote a download offer on FB, you need to state "Download required" in the ad itself. Same thing really.

@ z6marketing what was that cloak that you use for bait and switch again? Right now I'm doing bait and switch through prosper 202 but after editing my ads it gets tedious of always going back and forth to put url bait back on then after approve switch back.

I don't cloak anything anymore. You're looking for the AffiliatePlex Facebook Cloaker, though.

Are you still running on Facebook man?

If I ever manage to get another account set up - I'll probably stick to FB's ridiculous guidelines. It's just such a valuable traffic source.

Facebook is really a valuable traffic source, I don't want to lose it, so I am considering to change the niche, for example, dating, no IQ/Quizzes.

It's easy enough to get multiple facebook accounts. I have like 4 or 5, but I don't use them anymore.

Funny anecdote - the EWA facebook group was having a chat the other day about FB Ads and increasing your daily ad spend. I pointed out that my "real" fb profile, that I never use to promote anything because I don't want to lose contact with my friends and business acquantiences, had a $50 a day limit and after I started my blog it went up magically overnight to $2k/day. Ryan Eagle made a comment that apparently the best way to get Facebook to increase your daily ad spend was to start a blog and promote their competition (I write about PoF a lot, haha) and put up EWA banners. I'm not going to be surprised when there's an influx of new blogs talking about PoF and rocking EWA banners in the hopes of getting a higher FB daily ad spend limit.

I don't promote on Facebook right now, no. I do on and off but at this moment I have nothing running for various reasons. I got real sick and tired of the idiot reviewers and the constantly changing rules that only apply if you don't have a corporate backer and I moved on to other traffic sources. Will I run on FB again? Definitely. Am I looking forward to that? No way.

But it's a necessary evil, like so many other things in this industry, and the best thing you can do is grin and bear it. At least, until you get to the point where you don't need to run social traffic anymore.

Using "Subscription required" in the ad is no good. You have to disclose the fee. "Subscription service - $10/week"

I've been testing a lot of variations to see what will get approved. This is the one that gets approved 100% of the time. The shit thing is that they don't look so much at the landing page as they do at the service which is why even using your own landing page requires the ad disclosure.

Will bait and switch work for the IQ quiz or will they find out?

When stating the subscription and fee into the ad does that lower your CTR and conversions?
