Why Facebook takes a very long time to approve my ads? (6)

---

Hi expert STMers,
I am planning to promote a mobile game called "Slots-Huuuge Casino" using Facebook as my traffic source.
But I am having the problem get Facebook approves my ads. After I submitted the ads, already more than one day and all my ads are still in "In Review" status. Does anyone have any idea why is that?

Thanks & regards,
Rick

Hey buddy.
It actually depends a lot of level of trust your account has, as well as on whether this domain name was promoted before. Also your region plays its role too. FB's security measures are advanced enough that everything is important. For example, I promote offers from those guys at adcombo under my own .club domains (I experiment with different domains and different content) and get approved/disapproved within hours.

Hi @siviodioli, thanks for your reply.
My ads account is not new, and I ran ads successfully before. It's just that I haven't been using it for quite some time now(1+ year).
As for the domain name, I think it might be the reason. The domain that I am using is "exclusive-deals-for-you.club". It holds all my landers for the mobile game offers that I am going to promote. I created this domain following the 40 days newbie tutorial last month. Do you think I should buy a new domain with .com? The offer URL(destination URL) is the itunes URL, which I think should be fine.
The other thing I can think of is the mobile game that I am promoting itself, it's an online mobile casino game. Is this kind of game banned by Facebook? I don't think it's banned because it doesn't involve real money. I might be wrong...

Thanks in advanced!

Hi STMers,
Just to update, I managed to get FB approved all my ads. So, the culprit is the Voluum's tracking URL.
My Voluum's campaign URL look like this:
-http://track.trck-voltax.site/39c12817-6666-46c0-be01-a30a2909cdda?source={{site_source_name}}&placement ={{placement}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id }}&campaign_id={{campaign.id}}&ad_name={{ad.name}} &adset_name={{adset.name}}&campaign_name={{campaig n.name}}&age=16-65&gender=female

I shortened it and put it into my Facebook ads. That was what I did previously. The result is I do not get approved by FB.

After I removed the tracking URL, and put my lander URL, everything is fine and get approved.

So, I do not have Voluum to track for me now. Instead, I used Google Analytics.

Is that OK to do it this way where I don't use Voluum to track? Any workaround so that I can use Voluum?
Do I need to get a new tracking domain?

Thanks & regards,
Rick

I'm having the same issue with getting my Voluum link approved, even though I'm trying to put up some 100% WH Ecomm stuff.

Re-upped to a new domain and no Voluum, ads sitting in pending now so we'll see.

For my purposes, I'm having lander click throughs fire as an ATC and have other events firing further down the funnel. This way Lander ctr can still be measured in fb. The only reason you'll really need Voluum in this case will be to rotate landers/ offers.. in this case I'm afraid a separate page will have to be uploaded for each one.

Or you can try another tracker. I love FunnelFlux, just have had spotty support from them in the past. Have heard that it's an issue specific to Voluum, but do keep in mind that in general FB doesn't like redirects.

I wrote a recent post regarding this issue: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...-FB-Every-Time!

The future is coming and you've gotta be prepared! Tracking doesn't die with redirections being sworn off, it just adapts as necessary.
