Cloaking the new pixel problems?

Hey Guys,

When I cloak the new facebook pixel everything seemed to go fine.
But now whenever I launch a website conversion campaign it instantly goes active but never receives any traffic.

And then 12 hours later the account is dead.
Anyone else noticed the same, I know a few guys in some masterminds noticed the same thing occuring.

When I launch campaigns where I just do CTW everything goes fine.

Have you tested the pixel yourself, used the pixel helper, inspected your web developer console and so on to see if it is actually sending data successfully?

His problem is with cloaking, which is an entirely different thing.

this is not pixel problem, more an account thing like bad ip or bad overall account health / false farming method

Yeah everything is set up correctly.

The thing is that it worked perfectly up untill a few weeks ago.
Now it seems as if something is triggering an account ban.

Did you notice the same thing or are you assuming?

Oh, my bad, I read this and thought you meant the pixel marks as active but then doesn't measure any page views/events lol.

So, to confirm, if you made two identical campaigns, side-by-side, at the same time, with one having a CTW objective, the other having a WC objective, one would get traffic and the other would not?

I don't think that's specifically a pixel issue - you can link your pixel to the CTW objective campaign all the same, the objective doesn't change whether or not the pixel tracks events and correlates them with the ad units.

It sounds more like something unrelated to the pixel is causing issues.

However, I would do a test - try launching campaigns that are similar to what you are doing, but run to a clean, whitehat offer/lander. If they also fail, it has nothing to do with the pixel, cloaking, etc.

But if I set up a CTW camp it will optimise it to get more clicks at a cheaper price instead of click throughs which I usually go for when running a WC camp.
But thanks for the tip, worth a shot tho.

And by the way, when I set up a CTW camp it goes fine..the camp goes active and starts spending.

Soon as I start a WC campaign, it goes active and then nothing happens for 12 hours and then the account dies.
Had it happen with a few accounts now.

It used to work perfectly, so I was wondering if anyone else noticed this issue as well.
