Lets Talk Facebook Fanpages

:O:O

I have had a lot of success with FB fanpages in the past. But its not the same way anymore. FACEBOOK HATES CPA. Even more so when you are not paying per click. Many of my pages have been deleted. Just lost a fanpage with 1.3 million fans a week back. So I would advise against it. If you are getting success with other stuff, stick to that. Rinse, repeat and expand. Pages are not the same anymore!

I have NO CLUE really. FB guys are too random to make a guess!

I was doing coreg mostly, along with paid updates on the page, for like $100 per post. I had the page for the past two years.

The best way I found to promote CPA offers on fanpages was to run polls on your own domain and link them up to the fanpage and tell the fans to go vote.

That way they have to click on the poll, go to vote and click through again to get to the CPA offer. I used mostly submits.

I have done a lot of this and never lost a page/banned ect. although it has been awhile.

I was making fantastic money posting status updates with co-reg offers related to the fanpage niche~

I have about 3mil+ fans, but lost them about a month ago. Now they all have the "Your Page's posts are blocked from appearing in News Feed." perma block on them.

I would recommend if you're doing status updates with CPA offers that you do tons of good "quality" posts and make sure you delete any old "money" posts.

Yep, this is essential.

I don't even recommend linking directly to CPA offers.

Create content that fans are likely to click, then sandwich the content with CPA links. Go for subtle promotion rather than blasting your tracking link to anybody who will listen.

It's a delicate balancing act.

Your pages will generally last much longer if the users perceive the monetization to be coming from a third party.

You are still not safe. I used to do all what you said. Loads and loads of quality posts with a high number of likes and shares. The activity on the page was sky high and the negative feedback was very very less. But I still got screwed by FB.

I think the conclusion up to now is that there's still good money to be made but its just as fragile as your fb ads account when you have any type of monitizing on the fanpage.

How about funneling the fans into a email list and promote cpa offers that way? I looks to me that would be less risky since the offers are in no way connected to the fanpage.
Any experience with doing this?
I have tried that before. Not with a lot of dedication though as FB kids have a very short attention span. But you can give it a go, if you already have a fanbase that is.

Any experience with doing this?
It worked pretty well. I set it up opt in > thank you page was an email submit, subway $100 card worked well at the time. Then I mailed them all kinds of stuff until the list got really unresponsive.

I made way more money off the opt in Thank You page email submit than I did the actual mailing. I was and still am pretty green at mailing, I was using aweber to collect the emails and then downloading the addresses into Sendblaster which if you are not familiar is a desktop mailer. Then I sent the emails through Sendgrid STMP. I am sure I was making all kinds of newb mailer mistakes and eventually Sendgrid said I was a spammer and banned me.

Just to give an idea of money, I think I got like 20k emails. I made maybe 2k or so on the opt in and then another $800-900 mailing. So it was worth it because I already had fans but i am sure I could have done a lot better.

I know this is off topic, but does anyone have any contacts at Facebook who could help me "resolve" my page issues? I was able to get one pages perma ban changed to a temp ban that only lasts a month by submitting a complaint through feed back. Please PM me if you think you can assist.

I am looking for help with this issue as well. Have a locked page and Fb is not responding.
