Facebook Affiliate Offers (11)

---

Hi STMers.

Offer: Footwear related
Tracker: Thrive (with landing page pixel setup)
Landing Page: Advertorial

I was running the ads at $50 per day for 4 days. Last night the ad account was flagged for a policy violation, I appealed and it was re-enabled. This morning it was banned again, I went on facebook chat and this was the response I received.

"Our policy team got back to me and unfortunately they decided not to re-enable this account.
The ads that were running by it received very high negative feedback from Facebook users up to the point that it was disabled.
Their decision is final and cannot be appealed."

All ads had positive engagement (likes and shares) and all ads had a relevance score of 9 or more.

anyone have any ideas what might have closed the ad account? clearly it was not a flood of negative feedback based on a $150 spend....

thanks

xtremely difficult to get it back after “decision final” message

---

Try to find the cause here man; https://i.imgur.com/7ai2nCc.png and forget this bullshit reason; "very high negative feedback", I think.

---

thanks @stickupkid yeah I think this account has gone the by which is annoying - there is no reason on the list that you sent that I can see as to why the account would be banned. (happy to send you a PM with the landing page and the ads so you can decide for yourself)

I can share the text copy:
The headline was The One Plantar Fasciitis Trick Everyone Should Know About…
Headline:
❗The Chiropractors HATE This Back Pain Remedy❗

possibly this falls under the sensationalist copy?

One of the 2 comments that I got on the ad was "why do you make it look like this is something that you do instead of something that you buy"

I didn't mention that this was a brand new ad account and BM, and I started with this offer maybe that was the issue.

The question is where to go from here. I have another BM with around 5 ad accounts (same credit card for payment details as the account that got banned). Do you think it is ok to run a different offer in one of those accounts or am I going to get insta banned in any business manager?

Typical clickbait text man. And mentioning a disease or disability + other medical stuff like pain, remedy and chiropractor in ONE sentence even, is definitely not allowed. Read my latest post on WH and BH campaigns:

You can run a so called WH campaign, but it leaks BH from every hole already.

thanks and makes sense. .

I run on facebook around 700K per month as an agency, this is my first time venturing into affiliate offers, lesson learnt.

regarding the other BM that i have account in would you say it is safe to fire those up, or would you do it under a totally different persons account (my business partner can set an account up for example)

thanks

Also, make sure that you have spent on the account decent amount previously before affiliate offer.

And in my experience if you appeal through chat , it goes through more through review and your affiliate stuff gets caught, so appeal through forms unless you have a rep already.

---

Agreed with stickupkid, you won't get that live on a fresh facebook account with no prior history even for WH offers, your trust with FB is low and that clickbait stuff will just alert them.

If you're running high numbers to a real business model, it wouldn't be safe to start throwing up affiliate campaigns on them I would completely seperate it and not contaminate it.

Get a new BM, and maybe if you have some aged fan pages add them to those accounts and start boosting the posts as initial spends for a $100-200. Then you can probably get away with running your Advertorial without flagging very quickly, but yeah sensationalised landers are hit and miss, doesn't seem to be one rule across the board some accounts flag fast some will go on.

- Even the manual review reps are not the smartest cookies and get it wrong

---

Thanks, it would seem to me that Facebook is just not a sustainable traffic source for affiliate offers, well done if you make it work, but you can't work with a traffic source where it is hit or miss one day to the next as to whether or not you can make it work. I guess this is why there is the move to native.

---

If you don't understand and respect their policies it's hard to make it sustainable indeed.

---

for sure, but when a company arbitrarily bans accounts without giving you the tools to control that i.e. positive/negative feedback measures. Doesn't tell you acctual reasons for banning accounts, in my instance all ads were approved through automation 1, and then through a manual review (first ban lifted after a manual review, then no changes to account and ban). It becomes impossible to understand said policies.

According the the policies written on their site, there was technically nothing wrong with what I was running.

It shouldn't be that we have to go through an internal list that was questionably obtained to try and find a way to do XYZ. but such is the nature of the best I guess.

buuuuuttttt that said, I should quit bitching about it and crack on with other channels. Thanks for all the help and advice everyone - especially stickupkid!
