In reply to Bryn Youngblut. Have you continually contacted them and informed them of this and have you been allowed back on yet since I am posting so late in the game - just curious really.

In reply to tom - marketing tips. Facebook should have thought twice about opening a fucking ad platform then.

Good to know that I am not alone. facebook is cracing down on those “bogus” marketers and it is affecting the business of those legit ones!

Hi Bryn,

I came across your post randomly and I must say it talks exactly about the issue I am currently faced with. I had a few bingo ads approved on Facebook, however after I made a small change in the URL of the ad (adding a tracker) they pulled one of them down and left the other one alone. Does this mean it slipped under the radar or am I still at risk of having it removed. Do you know what their account review policies are like?

Kind Regards,

Anton

Interesting point, I must say I haven´t experienced any problems with Facebook.I can imagine why they don´t like marketing people too much because they are a site where people can connect.I guess marketing is not their “cup of tea” and are trying to get marketing people out.The same thing is with other social sites, you cannot do direct marketing on those sites either.

Why don’t you form a business where you live or the states and name the business something like Jim Barbuski or something that sounds like a name.

Then when you setup a bank etc you can setup a greendot or similar card and the name will be the business name, so when you use FB they will see the info matches up.

Also check out removing your flash cookies it’s done via the following URL because these are the puppies that track the best (but you might know this already and if you do sorry about telling you something you know)

Good luck, im sure you can utilize a way around and then hit FB hard.

If your proxy is just a http proxy in firefox or chrome, it migh not work as facebook uses flash to determine your real IP, flash can access low level tcp/ip connections. you can check this yourself if you want to view ads in different countries, a http proxy doesnt work. you need a proper vpn which routes your whole PC connection through a proxy, not just the browser.

This is just what I found when viewing different geo-targeted facebook ads, mightn’t affect the actual ads interface. And my account was never banned so I’ve never tried this. Just throwing it out there.

I’ve had no luck with FB lately. Personally, their entire advertising process is a joke. They are the absolute worst when it comes to Ad approval consistency, even worse than POF. I’ve pretty much given up on FB for the time being. Just a waste of time, even with the sweet FB Ad launching program. Guess FB hates money.
