Ads wasn’t approved because of the URL (DL)

Hey, i'm doing DL on Facebook for international dating offer, all of my ads wasn't approved because of the URL

"The destination URL of this ad violates our Ad Guidelines"

Maybe because the URL redirecting them to another page/offer because they outside of targeting country, i don't know..

What can i do in this situation?

I thought I might change the link to my LP, and after they approve the ad i will redirect it to offer, or i can get banned for doing this?

You've got all the right answers kenz.

Get a cloaker.

and yes, you can definitely get banned for doing this. lol

You can also ask your AM to switch off the geo redirect for you, sometimes that's possible.

What are the chances that they will test it again?

also see if your url is blacklisted? if you are running with peerfly, all their tracking domains are blacklisted by fb. if thats the problem , u can get away with cloaking url in cpvlab or prosper

Cloaking you mean to show FB some random LP and then change it and redirect to the offer?

Actually I don't think that is enough since fb displays the URL that it ends up on. I think what he was referring to is a cloaker that will show a different page to the reviewers at fb then it would to people that click your link. From what I understand they aren't cheap though.

@ironman : I solved the problem by creating my own LP, then after FB approved my ad i redirect it to offer instead of LP.
@thomasbhm: i don't think such cloakers exist, because you can't know the IP of facebook reviewers to redirect them wherever you need..

1) If the offer LP is red-rated on MyWoT or uncompliant then that's bait&switching and will get you banned quickly.
2) There are many cloakers out there, and a tonne of the FB-related IPs are known, it's not difficult to log the visits during approval.

Good idea, i will start to log the IP ranges, and then will create cloaker and share it with you guys

Not a good idea... don't try to create a cloaker, it's not as simple as logging IP ranges - and if it was we would have all done it already. You will likely just burn yourself and waste a lot of time. Additionally, there are already established cloakers available, but they cost a bit. Stick to mastering the traffic source using legitimate means first.

Why not simple?
I'm checking the IP range on my PHP file and redirecting the person to see what ever i want him to see ..
What does he do otherwise?

The point here is... if you are trying to get something shady past the eyes of FB this way it will not work, you will eventually get burned. If what you are pushing on FB and sending real users to is fine anyway, then there is a) no point in sending the reviewers elsewhere or b) an easier way to do it.

What is your purpose in 'cloaking' the reviewer elsewhere.

^^ what zeno said + there's more to a cloaker than just the IP database...checks referrers, referring country, etc.

I was in the same situation with firstdate.no not being accepted with PeerFly. I just switched networks to AdSimilis for the time being.
Now if only I could get CPC to behave nice with me... started at 0.35, climbed to 0.55 and now 0.75.

Pretty sure I ran this off topic w/ the mention of facebook cloakers. I was the one confused. After re-reading your issue; you do just need to cloak the link. You can either use a URL shortener or your tracking software to do it.

facebook is fuck crazed now.
