I get blocked on Facebook when I promote sweeps offers using AdsBridge. Why?

Hello everyone

I tried to promote sweeps offers on Facebook but it continues to create problems.
It approves my campaign, let them work for some hours and then it stopped it.

The status is still active but no traffic and I can't duplicate it.

The error message is: "Your campaign couldn't been approved because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive"
My ads have not been reported though.

Other times they say that I'm violating something copyrighted.


I don't know what to do.

My funnel is:

FB ADS ---> BRIDGE PAGE ---> OFFER PAGE

- My copy is not aggressive at all
- My bridge page is a very simple click through page.
- My track domain was not flagged until now and I use Adsbridge.



Yes the account is new but why they checked my campaign for 2 days and then they approved it?
Why now is not ok anymore?

Could be fault of that specific offer or maybe is Adsbridge's fault?
When I try to run this offer without using Adsbridge it works without problems, but as you can understand I need a tracker.

Now my domain is flagged for sure, I can't promote nothing with that one.

Something to suggest to me?

Thanks,
Marco

Hey Marco,

FB doesn't check just the ad you send for approval, it checks the whole funnel. You probably got auto-approval on the ad and then failed a manual review or a more advanced automatic review of the funnel because of the sweeps offer you are running.

You don't need a tracker to run on Facebook, but it can certainly be useful to have one.

Biggest point though - sweeps are not really the best content to run if you want to be white hat.

Cheers,
Manu.

Thanks Manu

So the people able to run sweeps on Facebook are those with older, and hotter account, able to avoid manual review of the funnel?

You're right about the tracker, but unfortunately I can't use my FB pixel to track conversions so I needed a tracker.

Thank you,
Marco

If you cannot use the FB pixel it's pretty much a tell your offer is not white hat and it's only a matter of time til the red message hits your account... White hat offers that Facebook approves of can run with their pixel for tracking.

No it's sweepstakes so we can say a grey offer.. but it is my affiliate network that doesn't offer this possibility..

Try this setup, it works fine for me;

- clean domain, where you host the survey/questionniare on
- at the end of the survey, click-out, you add the affiliate/Voluum/Adsbridge link whatever going to the actual sweep offer

You get the clicks from FB Ad manager to the prelander, you get the clicks/conversions from prelander to campaign from network/advertiser/adsbridge dashboard.

Ofcourse there will be some difference regarding the clicks from FB to prelander, but in my experience it's not that much to worry about.

1) My offers already have the survey but I could add a new landing page adding one more question.

2) I could not track a lot of things by operating in this way.. I wanted to use a tracker to see which ads and which landing pages convert better. So optimizing is much easier and faster.

I could track even using sub ids on affiliate network dashboard, as you explained to me, and it works. However, the tracker offers many advantages

Thanks!

Do you think that a clean ad account who spent 3,000 euros is hot enough to avoid manual review of my campaigns?

I would like to retry with this account and not a newborn account as the last time.

I'll use a new clean domain and a new method payment.

Do you think it can work this time?

You will always get manually reviewed at a certain point, just keep that in mind.

1) ask the advertiser/network to provide the campaign to the submit page directly, so you can host your own thing and add the aff link going to the submit page.
Don't add another prelander on top of the current one, you will see major click loss.

2) it's true you are not able to track everything then. I am not sure how experienced you are regarding sweeps and FB, but I suggest you put more time into getting a low cpc, with testing loads of ads/images/text. At the end with sweeps women 35+ always convert, IF the offer is a good one ofcourse. Prelanders are quite easy and simple in general so differences in CTR are most of time not that big.

I don't want to encourage you to test, measure and optimize with your tracker. But putting a tracker/aff link directly into FB gave me some bad experiences. Perhaps others can counter-attack this, just my 2 cents tho'.

Thanks for your 2 cents

No you're right. I'm also pretty scared to put my aff/track link directly on Facebook.

And no I'm completely newbie to sweeps offer on Facebook.

In the short time I was able to run this campaign, I saw that the cpc of men was much higher than women but at the end the conversion rate of men was also much higher.

In this case, I would have been misled if I looked only at the CPC and CTR.
Although the prize was a car, a car more feminine than masculine.


But I did not reach statistical significance so maybe the situation would have changed over time.

Good to hear you got your account back

What I usually do when I can't place my pixel on an affiliate network, and it is really important to have one (like the case of FB where they usually like to see some conversions posted), I place the pixel on my landing page (on which I have control) and change optimization strategy.
Because now you have you fb pixel placed on your lander, every visit to your lander will be counted as a "conversion", so Instead of optimizing for conversions you need to change the variables and optimize by CPV (cost per view - how much you are paying for a LP view) vs EPV (earn per view - how much you are earning per view).

This is still a valid optimization method, plus probably will make fb happy because
1. they are seeing their pixel used
2. their system can deliver more traffic to the placements that are generating more clicks (so more views to your LP)
