My ads are getting paused automatically

Guyzz,, From the last 2 days, I'm seeing a strange issue with my fb ads account. I created some new campaigns for UK and USA. When I started running my ads, right after 2-3 minutes, my ad got paused automatically. I checked it with all the other created ads, and same thing happened. I was doing bait and switch method for my offer. What it looks like that facebook has made some changes through which they can detect the cloaking or something like this. Is it happening to me only or anyone else is facing the same issue ??

Please let me know as most of my traffic comes from facebook.

Bait and switching the wrong way

If FB notices your url changing, they will pause your ads.

Reupload your content over the bait

is the real offer url flagged by mywot? if yes that would explain the auto pausing. btw bait and switch is suicide..you'll loose your account in no time...even using a good cloaker is riskyand lead to account loss sooneer or later. it's only worth it if you already have a proven campaign and a fb acc with a high spending limit and some backup accs...just do the calculation and weight risk against roi and the time you spend for setting all that up. and facebook isn't that stupid...detecting a bait and switch is more than easy

Ok Guyzz.. What I forgot to tell that my other old approved campaigns are working fine but when I'm trying to create a new campaign, after the ad approval process, this thing is happening It is happening with only the new campaigns. Ok I agree with @Nusolutionz that facebook might bhi detecting that the landing page url is changing. But in that case what should I use ?? Even a cloaker would not a good option. Is there anyone who is facing the same prob like me or you guyz are doing fine with the facebook ??

I know facebook hates the affiliates like always and they are getting more strict day by day. Can someone shed some light for the solution of this problem ??

What kind of redirect are you using? Maybe it would be use to use a different type of redirect like a javascript?

A cloaker would be a good option because it will always show Facebook the same landing page url.

I usually face this trouble in case URL is reported by FB user and/or URL is changed!

I was using a simple PHP header redirect script. It was working fine for me for a long time. I think javascript wouldn't be a good option as well. As it will take time to load the page further its a client-side language.

Well no there is no chance that anybody has reported my URL coz my ads didn't get a single run. So, how someone can report my ads ??

May be you are Smaxor. But, I'm back after a month on faceboook. So, I really don't know what changes they have made in this period. Right now, I'm just direct linking to my offers and simply redirecting through the network url. I'm not using P202 tracking software.



Is there anybody who can confirm this thing or you guys are running your ads fine. Can someone give me a solution to this prob plz ?
