I can't get any images approved (20)

I can't get any images approved

A few days ago I got back into facebook after leaving it for about a year because I was tired of declined creatives.

I created 1 campaign that was instantly approved but every campaign after that has been declined for the image. It's for dating, the offer is allowed and I'm using fully clothed, no cleavage women or face shots. 100% legit and they are still being declined.

What do you guys do to get past this? I've submitted multiple campaigns so far, still no luck. I've been trying multiple times a day for the last 2 days. Different images too.

Maybe your account doesn't have a good history. Try submitting gaming campaigns and see how that goes.
Try some more general ads and see if those get approved.

IF nothing else, get a new account.

I had one account that got too many disapprovals, and then after sometime I couldn't get anything more approved, no matter how compliant was the offer/image. Try submitting images that would be normally approved, if that fails as said just get a new account

I just opened a brand spanking new FB ad account. Submitted two ads, with two different images. These images were about a benign as they get: (thanks mrmcgrunin)



WTF? really?

I looked on their help page. These images were deemed acceptable on their help page:



What else can I say.

They don't like ads that go to sites external to facebook.....

These are acceptable, but only if you're promoting lingerie or bikinis...
Also, did you read my previous message ?

I got a bunch of ads disapproved, and then when checking I saw some of them were disapproved due to the ad content or story. These were translated ads so I wasn't 100% sure what they meant but since these were FirstDate campaigns I thought perhaps they didn't realize Firstdate was the dating website and wasn't just referring to going on a first date. I understand now you have to discples the dating site in your ad copy so I put a .com at the end of it and they got approved. Not sure if that was it or it was just a different approver but something to think about.

@nz_mike

I think it was the .com, for a lot of websites they actually want to see the URL in the ad. It helps bring trust to your ads if the URL in your ad copy matches the actual destination URL. + they may have misunderstood the FirstDate thing

All of the ads I was submitted were for dating apps. I tried a bunch of different non-risque ones. So far everything up until today has been denied except that one campaign that was originally approved the first day.

They also sent me an email that I need to remove my ads within 24 hours or I'll get a ban, because they aren't allowed on facebook.

The thing that I don't understand though is I see these apps ALL THE TIME on my personal account being advertised to me. I've literally seen some of the same facebook apps with the same images for an upward or 2-4 months now. What the fuck facebook.

I got the same email today and it was after I tried to run the Cupid app. I had been testing the Cupid web version and had no issues, then when I tried the App they denied all my ads and sent me the warning letter. Mostly the same pictures.

Mywot... "web of trust" ...

Help me out.

I did submit the link for my cpvlab tracking link. Was that the poison pill? Do I direct link to the offer, and bypass my own tracking?

Thanks....

So I've been submitting campaigns in batches of 5 ads at a time with different apps to see what they will allow. Well today they finally banned me.

Not sure what to do at this point, I think that's a sign to just leave facebook and stick with the other traffic sources that actually want my money.

Thanks but I've already read through that. If anyone thinks I wasn't running something legit, here are some of my exact ads. I used 2 variations of this adcopy and these are some of the images I used:

Want a Girlfriend?
Find single girls near you with the Lovescanner app on Facebook. Click Here!



Lovescanner wasn't the only app, I tried a bunch that I thought WERE allowed. I know flirt, benaughty and those others aren't allowed so I didn't even bother testing them.

That's just FB being FB. You certainly didn't do anything wrong, or against their terms even -- they just don't like certain offers. The craziest thing is that they are FB approved applications, but they ban publishers for trying to push users to them. Not sure what the connection there is.

It's like the retro disapproving, I guess a different person comes along and looks at it who's pissed off at the world.

I wonder if the person who approved it gets banished from Facebook too, then comes back the day after with a wig and moustache with a fake address :P
