Facebook denied my ads, not sure why? (8)

Facebook denied my ads, not sure why?

Hey guys, this is my first try with facebook ppc, promoting ID Theft offers. Not sure why, but they didn't approve both of my ads. I am a bit nervous to submit more in case they deny another one and decide to ban the account. I am direct linking using my peerfly affiliate link which is http://trkur.com/trk?o=xxxx&p=xxxxx - could this be the reason?

I attached the two images I used for the ad. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

1) Never ever direct link to an affiliate link from an aff network. Ever.
2) First image would get denied since it is showing a defaced woman and would be considered to offend some users. You will get disapproved when using images that may offend users. Second image probably fine, but affiliate link likely killed any chance.

Thanks for the help guys. I purchased beyondhosting with prosper202, once it's set up I'll try to redirect or cloak. Doesn't facebook issue bans for cloaking though?

What would be the best way to direct link to the advertisers landing page?

FB issues bans for an entirely different kind of cloaking. They don't like when you show them one thing and show other people something entirely different. Cloaking your links is just fine.

You need to link to a URL you control which then sends the user to the affiliate link or lander. The purpose of this intermediate file is for a) tracking and b) georedirection to ensure any user from anywhere hits the same lander. Will be posting a tute on this soon, in the meantime you should be able to find something about geo-redirection by searching the forum.

Makes a lot of sense, thanks for your help. I'll try it out once my new hosting/prosper is set up in the afternoon.
