FB Cloaking is not working anymore! (What do you think) (27)
GOT THIS MESSAGE FROM FACECLOAKER
FB Cloaking is not working anymore!
Dear members of Facecloaker, Dear Blackhat marketers,
You may know it already, but Facebook did a huge change regarding the way they check your ads. They are now using a "residential IP provider" to check your ads manually. That is not a good news at all for cloaking, and that is probably the reason they are starting doing this.
Our technical team is currently working on this and we will let you know when we will find a way to make it work again! Believe guys!
As we respect our customers, we prefer to honestly tell you that our product is not working anymore, instead of telling you it is, and seeing all your account getting bans.
Our product is currently closed, and we highly suggest you cut all your cloaked campaigns.
We keep you updated on this, Thank you for your understanding,
The Facecloaker's team.
Wow this happened sooner than I expected, I just sent out a warning to my newsletter last Friday.
There's just as much money to be made running whitehat on FB and Google.
It's more sustainable as well. There's a reason why adblockers are growing in popularity.
FB and Google both realize that in order to protect long term revenue, and ensure people keep trusting and clicking ads they have to get hyper aggressive on stuff like cloaking and absolutely anything that gives a bad user experience post click.
Use this as a wake up call. Because this is only the beginning.
You may be looking for work arounds to protect 6-7 figures in revenue. They are doing this to protect multiple billions in revenue. Who's more incentivized and equipped to win this battle? 
Trust me, market in the way FB and Google want, and they will reward you with all the traffic you could ever want.
Without cloaking BH is also possible, just challenge yourself to be creative now. If upper story is true ofcourse.

Blackhat and cloaking is for quick term profits only, and should never ever be considered sustainable income.
^ From what I've read, FB & AdWords don't really want affiliates on their networks. Do they?
I remember finding a thread a while ago(this one!) where a longtime AdWords user basically said that every affiliate lander is a bridge page, so they all ultimately violate AdWords' bridge page policy.
That thread dates back to late 2013 so maybe things have changed. And I certainly haven't touched Facebook so I've got no right to talk on that.
But I'm wondering how serious whitehat actually is on these big networks. I'd like to believe whitehat offers do exist out there with consistent opportunities and little-to-no risk of bans. But from what I've read, at least on AdWords, it's pretty much a gamble or getting to know the right people at Google who'll let your ads slide through the cracks.
What are the fb nutra horde gonna do now

For example Google's Official 157 Page PDF Search Quality Rating Guide will tell you pretty much everything you need to know about what works on both organic and paid serps for google.
You can download it here
It was originally leaked multiple times, so google decided to just publish it publicly. It's a long read, but if you take the time to understand the content, you will be way ahead of the competition. Don't worry if you find you have to read this multiple times, I've heard most people who apply for quality raters fail the entry exam.
In terms of FB, there's no such public guide that I know of. But a lot of the stuff in Google's guide will be applicable.
Also we're experimenting with a new consulting service that will pretty much tell you everything you are doing wrong in your FB account, and let know know exactly what FB wants from advertisers.
You can check it out here. Discounted pricing ends at midnight pst or when 20 spots are claimed.
Just in case it needs to be said: This is not a service for you if you are a BH marketer. It's for you, the WH marketer, looking to maximize what you are already doing, and not make the accidental mistakes that often cause your ads to get disapproved or your FB ads account banned.
Pretty silent thread for such a huge update.
Got one of the accounts banned a day ago, so now wonder if it was just ordinary FB ban or because of this update.
Anyone suffered from this already?

Because you have to send your audience to your LP or Offers unless you don't buy chrome traffic. But chrome traffic has really a big market share. Maybe some guys' cloaking methods are stable for a long time for Google, but if the guys really want to ban you or your account ad cost is big enough, no cloaking can survive.
we are still doing well but had some struggles past weeks.
Everyone has problems at the moment...
Fake news?
We already overcome it these days. Many ad accounts has been flagged and FB account even deactivated. Facebook is having a big update that blackhat-ers should find other ways out. I still think whitehat is still a sustainable way to get income.
Hasn't this been going on for weeks already? I have heard a lot of guys have been having trouble getting accounts to stick
Oh is that true???
This is where proper viral/native sites come into play 
my team can do the sites even faster now.

Running BH on FB is getting more and more expensive, FB is getting stricter and their algorithm is better at banning fake accounts. You are better off trying WH offers on FB like the other poster said - less volatile revenue.
Is there any official source that mentions this?
If this is the case, they're not doing a very good job - here's a snapshot of popular ads from newly registered domains seen running in the last 24hrs: http://imgur.com/download/NN5rF30 (notice a quite a few cloaked here)

However, Unlimited accounts = Unlimited lives, so it's all a matter of time until you crack the code....
