Daily Account Spend - Flagging by Facebook (10)

Daily Account Spend - Flagging by Facebook

Hi,

in one of the other great post here, i read that Facebook flags your account if you spend more then 250USD daily. Thus one should create multiple accounts to stay under the radar.

We do strictly whitehat, so I am not afraid to get banned. My, maybe irrational fear, is that FB does your account pricing based on daily spend. Aka you get flagged -> FB slowly raises your prices -> ROI down.

Can anyone confirm this, or are we safe as long as whitehat.

Cheers and thanks

Bro,

Well i believe you get earlier a manual review when you spend above 500, but nothing is certain.
Yes, when you increase your daily spend, your cpc will go up, has nothing to do with flag.

If I don't increase the budget gradually my ROI always gets fucked up.

There is no guy at Facebook who is determining whether your prices should go up or down.

It is all done by computationally and Fb's distribution algorithm implies that CPC does not necessarly go up as you spend more. It can go up, it can also go down.

I think zeno has a good post somewhere around how VCG (Vickrey-Clarke-Groves) auction algorithm works.

Hey,

thanks man. I read that one too. Just going to keep increasing slowly.

Still I think on multiple posts it says, FB is taking your account history into account for pricing, or am i mistaken?

Cheers

Your account history will effect likeliness of any temporary blocks/throttles and so on, these things are not something we can predict.

Account history will also affect suggested bid, which is not important. Your account has no effect on the price you pay for traffic, it is quite literally not a parameter.

Confirmed you are safe. This isn't how FB operates, they have internal audits - doing things like this wouldn't make good business sense!

To be fair, banning accounts for any hat doesn't make much business sense. It is not like people are actually going to delete their FB accounts if they see crap ads. Who does that? People are too reliant on FB today to leave.

Just like Google's exodus of mini adsense sites a decade ago made no sense :/
