Can we use a campaign url ( tracker link ) in facebook post body?

FB isnt exactly "happy" about affiliate marketing, so sometimes all it takes to get an account suspended is to use a tracking link in the ads. (there are trackers that do not use tracking links, but rather have onpage tracking, those are a bit more safe) Rotating landing pages can be considered against the terms too, especially when you have some aggressive ones in the rotation.

It all depends on what you are running, if it's anything borderline, you can get banned easily.

Some people manage to stay under the radar for a long time, some will get banned straight away. Generally speaking, you need to be prepared to lose some accounts in the process, it's almost inevitable these days.

thanks a lot Matej, i am running whitehat ecom products with giddyup, in that case, split testing landing pages still not recommended?
so i can only test the fb creatives and cannot test the landing pages unless i make 2 ads exactly the same but different landing page.

Let's wait for someone with more FB experience than myself, what I posted was general knowledge, but with WH products the situation can be better. Let me ping someone to check this thread.

I suggest to go from ad -> prelander, where you host the prelander yourself a build a rotate script which directs to different landing pages. Trackers, aff links and such I wouldn't recommend as Matuloo mentioned.

Testing multiple prelanders, best to make an ad set, and duplicate couple of times and just replace the prelander link per ad set.

Overall the fact that you use a redirect tracking link isn't the reason why you would get suspended. It's all about the urls in the redirect path and their quality/history on FB etc.

Unfortunately, when you use a redirect with a shared url from a saas tracker, or an affiliate link from a network /offer with issues, you will risk suspension.

I built a tool to help with make sure your urls/links are ok for FB and adwords use. You can see a demo here: http://prosper.tracking202.com/blog/...g-redirects202

The best option is to use a no redirect link to to landing page as @stickupkid mentioned.

That way you know for sure your url is clean and not affected by the actions of other affiliates.
