Running Diet On Sitescout (5)

Running Diet On Sitescout

Hey Stackers,

I am having some success with diet on FB. I have also had a little success diet on Sitescout but super super low scale. I'm talking like 3 -5 conversions.

I am very interested in running my diet stuff on Sitescout because with Sitescout I don't have to face my accounts being banned, getting disapproved and all of those stupid FB problems.

I was going to start scaling my diet stuff on Sitescout but then someone told me that the risk of getting caught by the FTC would be extremely high.

Is this true? Or is this BS?

Are any of you guys running diet stuff on Sitescout?

Thanks!

Well, it all depends on how you actually market the rebill in the first place. If your using fake news LP's there is a high chance that your in for some trouble, given that you are running much traffic and many leads.

Take a look at this:

Thank you for the 10-month old news release dipshit - I think we all were genuinely unfamiliar with the FTC's stance on defrauding consumers.

OP If you don't know what you are doing and whether your creatives & LP's are compliant, its best you stay away from rebills entirely

Obviously not as both you and I are writing in a thread created today which takes on this issue.

I don't see why running on Sitescout could be worse than running US diet on Facebook. I guess potentially it could be, if you're showing up on a lot of news sites that the FTC monitors - like msnbc, and stuff that Pulse360/AdSonar run on. But still, your reach on Facebook is probably huge if you're running multiple 5k's, so I don't see how you're safer on Facebook, although it might be harder for them to go back and track your stuff down after complaints.

In the end, running US diet with flogs is risky business, and the only way I see it being more risk to run on Sitescout is if the FTC has a whatrunswhere account.
