Active campaign but traffic is not running ( help) !
Hello,
I have got an approval on my first FB ad campaign (100% WH) , but an issue here is that the traffic is not running for more than 5 hours. Also created the new- similar campaign, but still 0 traffic.
Anyone had similar issue? If yes, would appreciate any advice on that.
Thank you,

they have hidden review when an goes live(usually on a new account or depends on your ad). If you're 100% WH then could your bid itself. Bid automatic

The bid is already on auto. Do you think the campaign will start running ? or I should try to do some new stuff ?

there's no sure answer. When Im doing grey and something happens like this, I usually duplicate new ad set and kill other original
In your case, try changing ad copy and image on a new adset, mostly it should clear things

Got an answer!
I believe its been under manual review, as a result an account got flagged .... Wonderful !

hi @beemarkt,
yes -- if traffic does not start to flow within max 24hrs (it shouldnt take more than 1-2hrs actually, not even on a new account) then usually your account is subject to a manual review, and on most new accounts this will lead to a ban even if you think that your campaigns is totally white hat and to FB's liking.
if you're just starting out with ads I'd strongly recommend to use non-aggressive angles and be super careful to stick to FB's t&c's. also, I'd start out with just 1 adcopy and 1 image in 1 adset instead of going crazy on tests. once this is approved and traffic flowing you can slowly put more ads online. just remember to build up the account and act like a normal person, not a motivated affiliate trying hard to find a winner and scale. 
this is kinda general feedback, please share more details if you need more specific support. happy to help!
all the best, Phil

Beemarkt, the question is did you use your personal FB account? If so, try to reach out to them if it's just an "unusual activity" flag you should get it back, keep emailing them until you see an answer. TBH you've got 50/50 chance to get your account back.
If you used a tracking link like Voluum they def see you're an affiliate, i'm not saying they're hating on affiliates but in general you want to differentiate yourself from the rest of the affiliates who usually break FB's rules...
You very first campaign should be a like campaign or a page post which keeps FB traffic within their platform (in other words don't use a link)

Thank you FBQueen for a great advice.....
Would very appreciate If you could leave any comments on my FB start story described below
How I started with FB:
Met a guy in STM meetup Milan few weeks ago... He's doing big numbers on FB Pin Submits ( never get caught by FB)... He showed me how is he doing with his campaigns so done the same... But it did not work
Firstly, created a new FB account under my fathers name, farmed for around 2 weeks, then created business account on it... Created Branded page ( Example: Tesco vouchers Ireland).... From the first time I have used cloacker ( safe page was linking to Tesco website page which is related to what I was going to promote)... Did not use any tracking links .... The campaign got approved but the traffic wasnt running for some time... Next day I have been asked to answer some questions and upload the proof of ID. Done that but they have flagged my account ( unusable activity).... I believe its been under manual review and they have saw the link redirect....
The day after the first account was flagged, I jumped on the next account which was created under My and My Girlfriends name (like a couple's facebook profile) ... ( been farming for more than a week) ..... Created Business account on it again, Branded page ( example Amazon deals) ... Decide to promote FB page likes,but traffic wasnt running again and been asked to answer same questions and upload an ID... Next morning got flagged.
Question 1: I have used the same pc for first two account management. ( no changing anything) .... Do you agree that could be an issue of second's account closure? Also do I need to change my PC identity in order to work from my PC when managing future accounts?
Question 2: Do the name of the person has to match the ID name ? For example second account name was Tom and Diana, while I have uploaded an ID Tom's ID.
Journey continues:
Few days later I have got an account which has been used for more than 6 years with more than 1k friends. ( changed the main login email + change the password)
To managed this third account I have used the totally new pc with the different IP ( from different location) ... Created business account on it..... This time Created no-branded page( example: bicycle lovers) .... And started to promote FB likes towards that new Bicycle lovers page.... Again the traffic was not running for all day... Next morning they have asked me for ID and answer the same questions as last 2 times...... Have done that and waiting for response from FB now....
P.S. I have used 3 different CC for each account.
Thank you in advance

We are facing the same problems with FB and we usually stop the ads of the website we are trying to promote, with the FB campaigns still running. Seems like by doing this, campaigns work again and we can turn on ads again… Has anyone test the same solution?
