For a smart guy, why is Zukerberg so dumb? (12)

I have a UK ad which is crushing it right now. But can I scale it into facebook? No!!!!

My facebook ad is for UK viewers only because the offer is for UK people only. But facebook throws a fit due to their not being able to view it from CA due to geo gating by the merchant.

Zukerberg you're one smart guy, but at the same time fucking stupid!

Sorry, but I needed that bitch to those who understand the pain.

Feel better now .... ..................and ................. relax.

Try sending the advert team a message and tell them they need to use a UK proxy? Really the ad interns should have proxies for any of the countries targeted in ads they review and be told to use them when viewing non-US targeted ads. It's stupid really. All the interns in India seem to be able to review US-based ads/offers fine...

Maybe use a simple geo script that redirects non-UK to other (compliant) offers?

just add the uk landing page directly in prosper for approval and switch it back after its approved..that simple..i do it every day...

for example add cupid.co.uk as the affiliate url and after approval switch it back to your aff link

+1 on what nusolutionz said.. Just grab a screen shot of the offer your promoting or make a very quick and simple lander that is based around the product your promoting and submit that as the url. After approval redirect back..

Well ... here's the thing. I did the ol' switcharoo and tested it on my US proxy. Worked fine.

Resubmitted it to fb and they rejected it with the same reason as before. Now I know they're just taking the piss.

REALLY frustrating as I have a really targetted group of 300k fb users looking for 'food' and I've got a piping hot 3-course meal ready for them.

Zukerberg if your nads were anywhere near my boot ....

You've got the wrong attitude for FB dude

Zukerberg's got nothing to do with it. He's created a goldmine for affiliates and I love him as much as one man can love another.

Spend 10 minutes and read through their advertising guidelines. Chances are that your landing page is not compliant.

If you don't want to go through the trouble of changing your landing page then bait and switch with something similar but compliant. Be aware of the risks though.

Don't mind me. I'd just nearly done 48 hours straight in front of my box and had got a little stir crazy yesterday. Feel a LOT better now after some sleep

Actually, I wouldn't change anything about fb right now. I can research the demographics of nearly a billion people and create laser targetted ads with insane traffic throughput. Who'd want to change that?

I'll just three shell game my ads as discussed.

Back in the saddle now .... sorry all for being Mr Grumpy

Here's a simple script to do it.

People from the UK will be redirected through your aff link while non UK people ( reviewers etc ) will be sent straight to the offer.

This way you don't have to bait and switch.

	<script language="JavaScript" src="http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js"></script>


	<script language="JavaScript">

	var country= geoip_country_code();

	if(country  == "GB")      
	{
	<!--
	window.location = "http://afflinkhere"
	//-->
	}

	else   
	{
	<!--
	window.location = "http://www.be2.co.uk"
	//-->
	}

	</script>

MANY thanks for that - much appreciated.
