I’ll admit I have had problems in the past with certain things I was running on Facebook but let’s be honest, it was the wild west back then and basically anything went.
It’s being almost a year now since I have run anything non compliant on Facebook and still my accounts get disabled. I realize it’s obvious why, because of my past with them.
Here is what I don’t understand, I have accounts running fully compliant, all approved and non cloaked through ads for months with no problems. Not only that but the account was under a different name with their credit card. The only thing that could link me to the account would be if they compared IP addresses, but let’s face it people login to Facebook accounts all over the place, and I have friends who login at my place all the time and have never had an issue.
The funny thing is they aren’t even banning the accounts for any type of compliance issue with my ads, since all are clean. After a couple months they just simply disable the login so it can’t continue to be used.
What I want to know is why?
I realize I made some mistakes back in the day, but if Facebook would just listen to me and let me prove I won’t fuck up again we all can continue to make a lot of money without any issues. You can assign someone to watch over my account 24/7 if you want, I don’t care. It will save you’re employees time disabling my accounts.
Regardless of all this, I know Facebooks primary objective is user experience and they make enough money as it is too give two shits about someone like me who would spend 50k+ a day with them if they let me.
For now it looks like I will have to continue surfing under the radar until I can convince someone over there too give my original account a second chance.
P.S – Affiliates@facebook.com just proves how much Facebook doesn’t care about affiliates – no more personal touch?
P.P.S – Lame.

Starting February 1st I am going to attempt to not drink any alchohol for an entire month. I’ve wanted to try this for a long time now for many reasons.
Health is an obvious reason but more importantly I feel it will help my business greatly.
I often go out drinking with friends every weekend and some week nights and being hungover/tired really impacts my ability to build my business and get work done.
Whats funny is I just read the other day that Shoemoney has decided to quit drinking for a while too. I doubt I will quit drinking forever, I just want to see if I can do it for a month.
Anyways so I am going to a Toronto Maple Leafs game tonight which I will probably have a couple beers and then that will most likely be it until the end of February.
Cheers.

This post is just a quick thanks to Steve Delmont at PokenZoo.com
I ordered a Poken last week from them and when it arrived UPS wanted to charge me an additional $22 for a brokerage fee. This rarely happens for small items and since the Poken itself was only worth slightly more than the additional fee, I wasn’t too happy.
I contacted Steve and he apologized for the issue and sent me a refund for the full amount. This fee was not PokenZoo’s fault nor problem but they took the liberty to make me happy and did so without even questioning it.
I love companies that do these type of things to keep customers happy. More companies should learn from this, it’s simple little things that keep people coming back in the future…oh and they might just happen to be a blogger who writes a nice post about you.
Much respect to PokenZoo (affiliate link).

A couple weeks ago I wrote a post about GMB Direct claiming they were clueless, when in fact it turns out I was the clueless one.
Funny thing is I am now running offers with them that I had no idea they had.
Gene is a really great guy and does everything he can to help make sure everyone makes the most money possible.
Morale of the story: Sometimes being an ass and speaking before you do your homework CAN have it’s benefits. If I hadn’t I would probably never have worked with them.
