Tips on getting Sketchy Ads Approved?

Having problem getting some edgy ad copy approved, makes me wonder how these guys get the farticles like "Rachel Ray loses 400lbs and Dr. OZs new semen cream" approved. Obviously they are cloaking, but without even looking at the destination URL, you know those ads go to a farticle selling rebills.

Anybody care to chime in and give me some advice on how to get edgy ad copies approved?

Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of patience...

Hide it in a large batch of ads, say 50-100 but also it will depend on the time your ad is submitted.

I live in Melbourne, so dunno what timezone you are on, but i found my ads got mostly always accepted if I submitted around 1-3pm my time they were live by 6pm but if I did it in the morning or before bed, they were mostly disapproved.

So I think yeah its weighted on a lot of patience, the time you submit and how well you hide it in a large batch of ads

Account reputation is the key to get Sketchy ads approved. I have up to 99% approval rate.

Be carefull with hiding a risky ad within a large batch of innocent ads.
Some approvers are aware of that trick; they will aprove all and instanty retro-dissaprove ALL ads.

Very bad for your account.

Test different hours. And take notes on the best approval times.

This is very true.

Like Maynzie said, I've found the time and day can make a difference. I never submit ads on the weekend anymore. From my experience I've had a much higher disapproval rate on the weekends and at night. I usually submit my ads in the morning during weekdays (I'm in the US, EST timezone) and they are live by the afternoon.

Yeah I agree that the time you submit it definitely helps. I also do the hiding in a large batch of ads trick. Sometimes I've even submitted 50 goo ads and 1 edgy ad and they approved all the rest but the edgy ad is "pending" AHH!

if the landing page is very compliant and non affiliate you have a higher chance to have sketchy ads approved. All you have to do is find an angle that suits both your landing page and the cloaking page.

Tip: don't use pages that have no sense to be advertised (like wikipedia or something similar). I would stay away from Facebook pages too; they are not that stupid and will realize that they've been sending you thousands of clicks every day, yet the page's stats only show 50-100 visits.

That's 100% true. So, why you are seeing ads like "Rachel Ray loses 400lbs and Dr. OZs new semen cream" on FB.
FB fan page with "how to" video ? NO Direct Selling and NO affiliate LINK!!!

I don't know what cloaking page they are using, but if I would promote this, an established, authority weight loss blog that covered any of the products/stories mentioned would be very good for the cloaking LP.

Trust me. FB watches diet ads like a hawk.

It is better to be safe than sorry, unless you have many, many, many... accounts to play with.

And always remember, they won't give a damn to whatever you are promoting. As long as they "believe" your ads violate their rules, they will just ban you, even if you are innocently running a diet e book ad.
