Dating on Facebook
For those of you running volume with dating on FB, have you noticed a lower conversion rate during the night hours vs during the day?
Discuss...

What do you consider volume?
To be honest, I've been having a tough time getting my click costs low enough to turn a decent profit. With that being said, I'm only demographic targeting. I'm trying to build campaigns around keywords but so far I haven't been able to get anything approved. I and deliberately creating landing pages that connect 100% with the ads in an aim to get it approved. 250+ ads disapproved today alone.
Would be good to hear some strategies...

I got the same problem today with dating. 155 ads disapproved.
I used the same lander for the same campaign a week ago, and today its just a disapproval day. FB must be pissed off or something.
I got this disapproval:
The content promoted in your ad is not permitted on Facebook. Please visit our Help Center for additional information and examples compliant with our Advertising Guidelines.
Doesn't even say my image or ad copy is wrong, just says not permitted.

I've never seen "The content promoted in your ad is not permitted on Facebook. Please visit our Help Center for additional information and examples compliant with our Advertising Guidelines." before. They may be switching up rules on dating :|
I know they've banned a crapload of specific offers lately. No exact list, but tons of stuff that replicates benaughty offers.

As a test, I once copied some dating ads that had been running on FB for a few weeks.
When I submited the ads with the same images, text and offer - did not change a thing - all 20 were disapproved:
"The content promoted in your ad is not permitted on Facebook."
Couldn't work that out.

I keep getting "Your ad does not meet the requirements for dating ads or services. Before resubmitting it, please visit our Help Center for additional information and examples compliant with our Advertising Guidelines."
WTF
At first the problem was I didn't not have "interested in women" set. Now? No freaking clue... Is True.com frowned upon by FB? (no exit pops)

I setup a test for UK based dating offer yesterday, my first offer outside the US. Got disapproved "The content promoted in this ad is not permitted on Facebook. We reserve the right to choose the advertisements that appear on the site, and ads for this product or service should not be resubmitted."
I thought maybe it was the redirect for US based traffic not going to the correct lander, so I emailed FB. They replied;
"Thanks for writing in. I reviewed your ad and found that your ad is leading to a site that differs from the one promoted in your ad copy. Based on our third party 'safe browsing' tool, the link you are trying to advertise has been reported as abusive by Facebook users."
Is it possible to direct link to a non US based offer?

just now got turned down as well and I wonder whether this might be caused by the reviewers being based outside the US and thus possibly getting redirected to another page..
I'm working from Europe with a US proxy but when I type that offer link into my n on proxy browser I get redirected

Make sure you switch out your pages for approval - geo targeting will probably make them see something odd.

This is often when networks redirect to email submits/mobile offers for geo-redirects

Are you suggesting direct link to a US based offer and switch to the UK (country outside US) after approval?

I got a bunch of ads approved yesterday and today all but 7 were retro dispparoved with that same content promoted is not suitable bs. (or does not adequately reflect product or service) it has a clear CTA saying "Join xxxx now!" so i dunno what these irish bastards are smoking.

Yeah dating is tough. The fact that you have reviewers from various countries makes it even tougher. A geo redirect script is a great idea.

He is saying - You have to use that script.. The facebook employees are in a different country so when they click on your ad they are getting redirected to some other offer because of the IP they are on. So if you use that script and point them to the right offer in the country they will see what offer you are trying to promote.

+1 Basically the idea is, you are targeting a specific country, so the script will point all traffic for that country to your aff link/offer page, and ALL other traffic (all other countries, etc) to another page, typically the basic worldwide url. For example, if you are pushing a cupid dating offer, you would point the non-country traffic to
http://www.cupid.com, while the in-country traffic gets your cupid affiliate link.

i did the same thing with a weightloss offer that is running all over facebook still and they told me the same thing about the offer is acceptable, yet its running all over the place. i guess all the ad denials and confusion with facebook does help keep it more difficult to entering as someone new to it.....

I'm trying to promote a dating offer, had my campaign disapproved 4 times now. Have completely recreated the campaign, essentially copying the dating sites own slogan as ad text to make it more relevant (conversions will be horrible).
Next problem is that the majority of my images got disapproved.
Anything that looks remotely out of the ordinary got disapproved:
facial piercings, someone sticking her tongue out, a girl (dressed!) showing her arm muscles
Completely ridiculous, makes me very angry!

Do you have "Single" selected? That is another requirement.
