Hi guys,

I'm trying to promote a Clickbank offer using Facebook ads (I'm fairly new to IM) and my ad simply won't get approved.

I have zero clue as to why this might be: the language is correct, the niche is not forbidden and everything seems to be OK, however I just can't get them to approve my ad.

Anyone with a bit more experience than me can share any tips or ideas as to what might be happening?

Note: I'm sending traffic directly to the product landing page (I'm doing the same with AdWords and as of now I'm +120 ROI)

Thanks,
F.
 


inb4 Google shut you down.

The only advice I could give is to pm Grindstone.
 
If you're direct linking your doing it all wrong on any platform (in most cases). Facebook is just sending you a message to save your money.

How are you managing to send Adwords traffic to a Clickbank offer lol? Maybe you slipped through the net, but don't expect that to last long either.

I actually picked up the phone, called Google, talk to someone in the AdWords department and asked.

They reviewed the display URL, destination URL and said: OK. I've been running it for a month now and I haven't had any problems. My QS is at this point at 7.

Am I missing something?

I really don't understand this argument. To me is all about the sales funnel.

I only send traffic directly to the advertisers sales pages that is on the "buying" part of the funnel. I make sure my keywords reflect this state and just send them there.

I know a lot of people in here talk about the pre-sale and I do believe that works, but it also depends, like I stated before, where in the sales funnel the customer is.

I'm not sure these are good numbers or not, but my current campaign is converting at a 18% rate with a +120% ROI, so it can't be THAT bad.

Thanks,
F.

Good thing I saved my ass by saying (in most cases)....And absolutely, with that ROI it's working for you and if it's working and you're happy keep doing it... I am just saying that if I ran traffic on facebook I wouldn't think twice about collecting their email or having a landing page before sending them blindly to an offer. Thats just me, good luck with your campaign.

Oh, don't be bitter. I didn't mean anything to it (without any tone either :) ). I'm honestly just trying to understand a thing here and there. I do appreciate your response and I'm not criticizing your argument, is just that I don't understand it that's all.

However, I do see the value in capturing those lead for sure.

Now, back to the Facebook Ad, no clue as to why it remains disabled.
 
One more thing about email... I know a lot of people struggle with it... I am just starting out and not even successful with it yet, but I know I'll get it...What I like about collecting people's emails is that often times you can create a relationship and huge trust with your prospect and here is why... Most people live boring lives and are looking for some sort of entertainment, look at youtube, look at reddit all of those social sites...They are looking for infotainment...With email you just need to get people curious enough to open your letters and there are so many ways to do this; they will keep opening them if you do this right... Even if your doing say, credit reports and you collect a persons email ... You don't have to send them emails only about credit reports... Just keep them entertained long enough to want to keep reading your stuff.... Mix in some value / commitment to things and hit them with some offers here and there...Again, I haven't even really started with email yet. I'm just a churn and burn guy like yourself, I just think I'm doing it all wrong. That's not to say you'll have skinny kids if you direct link to offers for the rest of your life...I just think there are better ways

Facebook is tough. What you can try to do is setup like 50 or so campaigns and see what sticks by simply changing the creatives around... but be careful you could lose your account

Funny thing is that I'm very proficient in Email Marketing (when I say I'm new to IM is mostly Facebook which I'm just starting out. I've only done like a dozen adwords campaigns and nothing bigger than a couple grand).

Email I get, and I do have a couple of properties that generate revenue based on my auto-responders. However, I'm testing a niche I don't know much about and frankly don't want to write about it for now :)
 
@OP it could be anything. That's the problem with platforms like adwords and facebook. It could be so many different things. They don't like affiliates, they don't like your LP, they don't like your ad.. you could even have done everything right and you just got a reviewer that didn't like it, but if you would have submitted it at a different time then someone else might have approved it.

There are lots of people out there who have platforms like facebook completely figured out so it just becomes a question of how hard do you want to work to learn how to make facebook work for you?

Thanks. Oh I'll work hard for sure and I'll figure this out :)
 
Good response from mpbiz. And that's why I said to keep submitting campaigns only changing the creative each time... One of the times it might get through. GL
