FACEBOOK rejecting every ad

Ive been running ads that i use on a week to week basis for months now and today, FB is blocking every single one of them. Their not dating images and i have been using the same title/body/image for weeks with no problems and today, for some reason, every ad is getting blocked.

Any one having the same issues?

I've had everything I've submitted approved, a few hundred ads over a couple campaigns this week. I'd just give it a break and try again later.

Here's the thing you have to understand. The people checking your ad are dumber than you are.

They are probably interns or have a bachelor's degree at best in some generic business studies and have decided to become a wage slave under the almighty Facebook corporation.

They are hit or miss, and sometimes just plain dumb. I had a dating ad rejected because the editor claimed it had a focus on swinging and couples.

...It was a normal dating site.

Anyways, they are idiots. Just remember that and keep resubmitting your ads.

You can try submitting them at a different time in the day to get them approved by a different office.

If you are submitting them in the morning, try night time. And vice versa.

What niche are the ads in?

I'm facing the same thing...this is why i suspect that the FB people are sniffing again.

I have tried different ads,different verticals,different account and all are not approved by these Hooligans.

i can guess that they are implementing something new...and few accounts got hit by that.

I work in the legal niche but finally got them approved when i submitted at night.

Yeah, these minimum wage guys are just grumpy at certain times of the day.

It could be your domain. If you are cloaking try to keep your domains fresh.... I was also facing instant disapproval at times and what I did was bought a new domain, changed it with my previous one and poof, instant approvals the same day

Also, My friend knows someone who cleans offices and he was telling me how his friend was cleaning in a Facebook building and all he saw in the offices were Nerf darts, soda cans and other stuff that showed how hard they work every day lol

yeah.. Your ad copy probably got logged in their system for a disapprove.

pretty much what's above, summary:

- different time of the day
- different copy (slight different, change punctuation to exclamation, vice versa etc)
- different domain

- different domain
- different image too, even if it's just changing a few pixels

Try running your tracking link through google url shortener before building your facebook ad. This may solve your issue.
