I've been trying to run ads for my SEHabitat fb page, as well as a blog post I wrote about getting Google to revoke your manual penalty.
The ads for the fb page lasted a month until I was shocked to see they disapproved them, as they're totally innocent.
The ads like "Get Google To Remove Your Penalty" etc were seemingly auto-disapproved. Within 1-2 minutes of submission they were all disapproved.
Um... I'm afraid to get my account banned but I'm not even doing aff marketing on it. I'm also not resubmitting previously disapproved ads. Was the Google trademark my problem in this last round of disapprovals?
I just want to advertise my own software product and I'm not even using any typical marketing tricks... Trying to be really whitehat but they won't run my ads.
What should I do?
Try submitting some ads with a totally new headline without google in it. Not sure what kind of image your using but maybe swap that too. Basically see if it's really your ads or if it's just the link to that page they are having a problem with. (maybe a competitor reported you?)
If it's non-AM related and white hat you could always try reaching out to the support team or if you've gotten one of those emails from an account rep they might be worth an email.
Thanks for the advice.
My ads are going to http://sehabitat.com/blog/remove-goo...-spam-penalty/ and the ad image was just my logo. I'm trying to be really inept as an advertiser to see if they'll approve me if I make ads that aren't trying to get CTR, and my landing page isn't trying to sell anything.... so far, seems they won't let me.
hmmm shot in the dark but I would try a different URL even if it redirects to the same page. If you're getting auto disapproved I would say that has something to do with it. Maybe they are just retarded and reading the title of the page, copy, etc. to be something spammy or uncompliant even though it's not.
I just submitted some more... Said "G" or "Big G" instead of Google. Still pending review after a while so at least it's not automatic.
...aaaaaaand 100% disapproved. They said my ad doesn't accurately represent my landing page.... I don't get it... My ad says... Check out my blog post on how I got my penalty removed by the webspam team. How else would I say it??? wtf... and I don't have a contact there.
Try sending it to a different site with the same basic premise, that is congruent with your ad copy. Only way you will figure it out is to test.
I fucking hate FB with the fury of a thousand suns! They are acting like absolute asshats due to their impending IPO and purging us lowly scumbags because they have attracted some large branding advertisers (on the backs of affiliate marketers)...and now they don't need us so much anymore.
I say we organize a campaign to have everyone we know flag ALL ads by big institutional branding advertisers on FB like AMEX. Let's see how FB applies equal justice to them? I would love nothing more than to cause major problems for Zukerberg's online shithouse right as they are raising funds for the IPO.
Bwwwaaahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!
I still can't even understand how many mindless boobs still spend so much of their time and expose so much of their personal lives on that shitty site. It's a fucking fad and in my mind, it's already over.
I completely give it up to those of you who put up with FB's cock and bullshit over and over and over and over to pull in $1,000s per day.
Flag EVERY big branding ad you come across and email those advertisers to tell them you will never do business with them while they are associated with facefuck.
Did I mention how I fucking HATE facebook?
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...already in progress...
What is the history of your FB account? Please be detailed, it's very important.
Raw, there's no history on this account except for trying to promote my web app. I got an email from someone at fbads saying they're sorry but they don't allow ads for "work at home opportunities" which is not related to my campaign at all.
Ian, have you tried contacting their sales team and getting an agency account? That way you can talk to someone and probably get a full on manual review of your product etc..
ps... where's the Roisson?!
I'm still in Korea.
