Facebook : Your ad account has been flagged for policy violation ...

I never advertise dating or misleading offers not only on Facebook but anywhere. I have 4 campaigns on my account ( approved and paid for the clicks ) 3 of them are gaming offers and one weight loss product ( trial) all direct linked. I deactivated those campaigns after 30$ spent and $2 revenue only from one offer. I stopped advertising on Facebook for about 2 weeks and when i checked back i found out that it's flagged !! Filled out their form and no answer after 5 days waiting.. pretty sad how Facebook likes to leave people in limbo!

Any suggestion are much appreciated

Never direct link on Facebook to an offer (unless you have an exclusive deal). You are at the mercy of linking yourself with the accounts/ads of other affiliates who have ran the same domain. The weight loss ads most likely got the account flagged. They usually take longer than a week to reply via that form. Keep appealing, they will most likely come back with a canned response. Make sure you clearly identify reasons why they should take you back on / have made an error.

You don't seem to be spending enough to justify buying account. I'd advise you to look into landing creation and such while you wait for a reply for them / negotiate a deal with a friend to use their account (making sure you don't link the banned one).

Thank you Bobilu for your prompt answer. It's weird because i direct linked many times before and never got my account flagged! Maybe as you said it's that particular weight loss offer. or one of the games because i ran video ads for them.. Landers are my weakness. Is there any ( newbie ) guide about Landers creation or should i just outsource ? Thanks again buddy and hope to hear back with good news from them. cheers

FB doesnt allow weight loss, so thats most likely the reason
