Split Testing Effectively on New Ad Accounts (10)

---

I noticed on fairly new ad accounts you can't really start split testing hard body without triggering some sort of flag. I think creating up to 2 ads with a low budget and a couple of days in between each would probably be the safest maximum. But if I want to split test let's say 9 different ad images of a new campaign at once to speed up the process, this setup will definitely get me banned quickly and hold me back severely so it's not effective at all.

Currently, I'm thinking the safest method would probably be to run each split ad on their own dedicated ad account all starting with a low budget of $5. I'd need many ad accounts but a BM nowadays has an ad account limit of 5, so I'd be able to pull this off across two BMs (in case of 9 images). I wonder how secure this is because if one happens to get flagged, will it impact the other ad accounts? They will be having the same ad copy (besides the image) and destination link, which could link them together in a way?

I'm interested to know, is this feasible and how do you split test fast and effectively on new ad accounts?

I'd appreciate any input, thanks!

When you say fairly new ad accounts, you mean just made business accounts or are you talking about farmed ones?.

Once you got banned on one account and you run the same ads and links on other accounts they could in trouble too yes, but not neccesarily.

---

Farmed ones. To be more specific, a BM with new ad accounts of which only the first 1 one is warmed for a bit.

I guess it all depends whether they blacklist the destination URL for the other ones to get in trouble too.

I could also get some cheap 50 cts domain and CNAME them all to try and protect against this and then I'd also have to fire different pixels. It would be pretty troublesome.

---

Also important to note Facebook is acting suppppppperrrr tough on accounts right now, especially any new ones they will flag on so many different precautions now as part of their pledge to stop fake news and bad ad practice.

---

I've noticed for a couple of weeks now that I'm getting a lot of false positives for non-compliant ads, but they usually approve it after appealing.

---

Are you noticing way longer responses on your appeals?

---

New accounts are getting flagged really fast now, what was working few weeks ago is sho shite now haha

---

Shouldn't matter that much if the BM is new, the personal attached to it matters most. But I would almost never run ads on the ad account is it has not been running on low spend for at least few weeks. I usually have accounts where first ads have been created 6+ months ago, for the best results.

---

Yeah, the business accounts on fairly new farmed accounts won't last long. How likely is it an "average" person already using BM to advertise after a short time of "natural" activity?

---

Actually, responses to my appeals have been way faster for me. Within like 4-24 hours usually on business days.
