Can't get any ads approved (20)

---

I found some nice Norwegian rebills in the wight loss vertical and wanted to see if I could get some cheap clicks on facebook.

So I took that "...by using this one weird old tip" ad copy (you've all seen it), translated it into Norwegian and found a nice innocent picture to go along with it.

To make the ad and destination match and be relevant I linked the ad to a free blog I created at blogg.no (a Norwegian version of blogger). The article on there is a google translated version of this: http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/...b-exercise.htm

This is how two of the ad looks:

This was just for testing and checking out the cpc, before investing more time on a lander, etc. The blog page I created does not have any afflinks or anything, it is just an article about training.


All ads I have uploaded have been dissaproved. No spesific reason are given, and I've read the advertising guidelines.

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

I'm not experienced with facebook advertising at all, but this seems weird to me.


If I could get decent clicks my plan was to just switch out the lander later... would that even work?

I hope my post is understandable...
Thank you in advance for any replies

probably the image, try a headshot of a innocent woman

---

They are very tough on weightloss and diet in general.

You might get away with it for a little while and then they'll retro disapprove all your ads and ban your account.

---

Try different adtext/images is all I can say, their tough on the diet niche at the moment

---

Damn, how can anyone disapprove that image, it is so sweet and innocent. I've read some forum posts where facebook are declining their own acceptable example images lol. Will try and switch the images up, but I was certain there had to be some other guidelines I was breaking?

@403flux

I could easily duplicate a winning campaign on another account after getting banned?

---

That image you used would never get through. It somewhat insults the user if they're fat and is making fun of fat people. You can't use images that make light of a health condition or similar. At least that's how your reviewers are going to see it.

---

Saw this ad on one of my accounts. Posting it up here because it's not being run by an affiliate. WeightWatchers is behind it:




Goes here.

---

They're not stupid, stop risking your account. Not worth it. If you're not experienced with facebook ads, why not start off promoting something they'll actually approve and build up your account limit?

---

use a cloaker for rebills, dude

---

I thought I was playing it save lol. Alright, thanks guys

---

Ya they have been being a b*tch since their whole IPO. Keep trying, they will eventually loosen up

---

I tried to use som other images, they all got disapproved



I see alot of similar ads direct linking to the same Norwegian rebill offers, the copy is also more "extreme"...
My ads are not even linked to an offer, just to an article with information.

@scottybang

How is it even possible to split test on a system like this? Say you submit 100 ads, 5 gets approved, you make changes to those... What are the chance they'll just get disapproved again?

---

maybe cuz they look like stock images?

you gotta assume fb is like a "christian day camp" they want wholesome type images....

---

Have you checked your target URL and offer against MyWoT....

---

Why? I'm not pushing anything... I wanted to see if I could get some ads approved first

---

Oh right - you're linking to a random blog you made as a test? Hmmm, could just be how tight they are with diet/weight loss. Maybe they don't like the "one weird tip" style creatives anymore and just disapprove them on the spot, or maybe they are just being Facebookingly Facebook.

---

Yes, I read all over that facebook is ridiculously strict. So I wanted to see if I could pass the filters with something I tailored to be "legit". If that would not work, why even bother.

I think you are right, they are probably just disapproving on instinct.

I'm unexperienced with facebook, and I've not spend a lot of time nor money on there, but after messing around a bit, my conclusion is to focus on another traffic source instead. What do you think?

---

try a differnet niche like dating or gaming, those are best for FB

---

I was actually here looking for this answer... Is that so? Can anyone expand on this? It is frustrating!

---

First of all, you using "4" and "wkd" in the headline is pretty poor English and if I was a Facebook reviewer I would decline it just for that, especially if I was having a bad day. Who would want their platform ads looking like they were written by kids.

Secondly, a person in lingerie or a bikini would be considered acceptable for a lingerie ad or a bikini-relevant ad, not for dating. Context.
