Help with disapproved ads on facebook (7)

Help with disapproved ads on facebook

I have a couple ads on facebook that got disapproved because of the link. I'm using cpvlab to track, so could it be because facebook sees "mobile-social-ad-agency.net" as the destination url, instead of the offer page?


Thanks in advance

If its direct linked, fb should see the final destination and not care about your tracking url... unless there is some geo redirect problem for the reviewers.

As long as your domain is not red on mywot.com all you have to do is change the url by 1 character. I just change the subid/keyword. So if i have keyword=picture1 i'll change the url to keyword=picture1a. Sometimes I'll recreate the whole campaign changing the campaign name as well.

You sure the link is the problem?

It is direct link, but it's also switching out between the offer page and a separate landing page.

I just checked mywot.com and that's fine.

And yes I'm sure the link is the problem. When Facebook disapproved the ads, they also emailed me telling me the reasons. But when facebook says the url is the issue, I'm not sure what that could mean because I've already gotten the exact same ads approved with the same link.

Do you think it might have anything to do with CPVLab?

is it an international campaign? could be a geo issue. talk to your AM and make sure there are no geo redirects on the offer.

try not rotating for approval. in cpvlab use direct link to http://offername.com. use the actual offer you are running. don't bait and switch. only until the ads are approved. once you're approved you can rotate your aff link and the landing page.

use the above at your own risk. i don't know how FB feels about rotating stuff and changing to an aff link after the approval. maybe someone else wants to chime in.

Facebook will ban you for using the "bait and switch" if they catch you. But that is the main method that I use for almost every offer I run. Part of the game.

I would suggest using gogle url shortener http://goo.gl/
Run your add through the shortener and insert the shortened link as your url for the add. It should solve your disapproval issue if for some reason Facebook has flagged your tracking url.

Hope this helps.

Not true.. I use a tracker that rotate landers / offers all the time. They only ban if you bait and switch in a Sensitive lander / offer. Unless you cloak it then you can do whatever shitz you want.

I think the problem was clickbank. Facebook hate affiliates right? And a CB landing page is an obvious affiliate. So what I did was create a landing page that isn't tied to CB and then switched to direct link once they were approved.

What qualifies as a Sensitive lander / offer? Because I recently got banned "permanently" ...
