Facebook Cleaning out Dating. What do you thibnk?

As the headline suggests, do you think that in near future Facebook would disallow dating offers to be run on their platform?

I'm seeing more and more disapprovals on really clean images, both guys and girls.

Furthermore, there's only like 10% of the dating offers that can be run safe without cloaking now on Facebook.

Would really love to see some discussion on this here. Keep the snowball rolling!

FB has been ridiculously stupid and stubborn for the last week. I can't get anything approved, I definitely need to invest in some heavy duty cloaker. Even then I would probably get caught soon after. What is the Remedy; Start PPV?

Dating is perfect for FB. I can't see why they'd ever kill off dating completely.

But surely that's only how affiliates promote it - ie. the raunchiest pics they can get away with.

Dating ads must be such a MASSIVE revenue gain for them and they've got the Single targeting option there. I doubt they'd ever ban dating ads completely. Instead, what they might be more likely to do is take dating advertisers direct under stricter guidelines.

Though users kick up a fuss, I don't see people flocking away from FB because of this and users have the option to cancel these ads. If dating ads were really that much of a pain in the ass, wouldn't FB already have got rid of them?

It's best database for dating in the world with the amount of volume and information they have. I can see them in the future having all their own dating offers, but it's too much money to give up at this point.

If they were clearing out dating ads then they wouldn't have a targeting feature to specifically target single individuals.

Doesn't this happen all the time with FB, they get tough on dating and then relax a bit? constant cycle

hey guys, im thinking of starting a campaign on facebook (first facebook campaign ever) doing dating offers.

Do i really need a cloaker? and im assuming the flowchart will be like

Ad-> landing page -> Offer -> Profit!

so for the landing page wise, do i need a landing page requirement like those on adwords? or just a simple PPV kind will do?

Any advices is very much appreciated!!

@scotty

Yes you indeed need a cloaker because there isn't many dating offers that can be run safely on facebook. Without a cloaker, even the safest dating offer, Be2, can get you into account ban.

Dating is dying on facebook.

It's not helped by some of the tard affiliates out there. I log in to Facebook. I see an advert about lingerie, the URL blatantly involves making money. I click on it and it takes me to a BeNaughty FB app. That kind of completely retarded shit is the reason it's gotten so bad.

LOL wtf at this! Lingerie ads lead to benaughty? That's hilarious and I really doubt the backend conversion!

Sad thing...

Those of you getting ads and accounts banned over Be2, how are you promoting the offer?

Are you promoting to men?

I recommend only marketing to women on there. The images and copy required to get profitable don't have to be anywhere near as risque. If you're targeting guys, you're pretty much in a mud fight to see who can get away with showing the most skin.

Also, advertise to older demos and litter your ads with keywords that aren't going to raise an intern's eyebrows. Use terms like 'romance', 'matchmaking', 'friendly dating community', 'soul mate'. Make your ads appear brand-driven, rather than a gunslinger's attempt to make money.

I think it's probably just as much the tone of your ads as the offer itself that is getting ads disapproved and accounts banned. I've never had a problem there in 3 years, except for when I targeted young guys and had to immerse myself in the dogfight for clicks.
