PWN that shit while you can! I'm really enjoying the fact that if you combine your flyer with an offer that has real time stats, then everything is in real time. This is making it really easy to fine tune and experiment with lots of different ideas. Ideas which I can maybe apply to other applications. The whole getting banned thing is a bit annoying though haha.
 
1000% on $50 or $100 BFD. Try scaling it. Didn't think so.

It's easily scalable once they up their daily budget or you take a risk and make multiple accounts.

And yeah it is a BFD. On PPC you'd have to spend quite a bit more to hit the same numbers not to mention all the testing that is involved. This is now on autopilot.
 
I have a strange feeling that they are manually disabling accounts.
They are. I've trapped and cloaked 5 IPs so far. God bless referers.

Nope no luck today, this is dead....
I disagree. IPhones and the like lead to speedy bans. Other stuff converts MUCH better, minus the ban.
$251.25 in the past 2 hours(while I was doing laundry actually), with a 29% conversion ratio.
 
Has anyone run any affiliate ads and not got banned, period?

They're getting faster now too
I think I've figured it out. 2 accounts running, both 6 hours now. Stay away from free phones and ipods. Change the domain with every run through.
And obfuscate your CC a little. Like these would be addresses:
4555 Twelve Mile
4555 Twelve Mile Rd
4555 12 Mile Rd
4555 12 Mile

Of course, someone will probably have said this by the time my account gets mod approved.
 
Ok... so after tweaking and seeing what works... here ya go...

(Hint- Offer pre-pay as a form of getting pasy daily budgets)

BTW- My commission goes up about twice every 30 seconds and I did the screen shot like 10 mins ago... lol I'll post more stats when I get bored of this...

Damn man, How are you able to avoid getting banned? Congrats on the stats too. That's kick ass.
 
WTF - even my non-zip, legit, 100% legal music download subscription services (napster, rhapsody, emusic) get my account banned too. i'm almost convinced that facebook's only terms are "you can't make much money with FB advertising".
 
I emailed them asking them to please provide a receipt of my click costs since I can't log into to see what they charged me. I'm sure they won't send this info but it is bull shit since we can't be sure what are credit card statement says is correct. They could charge us anything.

Do a chargeback. Complain that they defrauded you by taking your money and then banning your account. If you have a decent credit card company you should at least put a hold on the charges and, maybe, even reverse them.
 
Account not working

Yup, I entered an ad and it went through but zero impressions. It's probably that they put new ads on hold while employees are home for the weekend. If they are manually eliminating accounts, they don't want it run wild over the weekend with no oversight on new accounts/ads.

Not all the employees are home. I got a manual pop on my account this morning. With no impressions.
I suspect they're setting every ad to manual review first before putting it out there. At least until they can get a real system update out there.
 
Got my account disabled this morning too. Ran one zip submit early on that got like 6K impressions and 2 clicks before it got disabled. After that I decided NOT to do any more zip submit or "free" stuff. I had 3 other ads all running that were simply legit affiliate programs. Nothing against their TOS or Advertising Guidelines (I read them over and over again before writing my 3 ads after they disabled the zip submit ad), so I'm guessing Facebook doesn't like affiliates or doesn't like making much money. ;-) BTW, I didn't do ringtones either. I did have one dating ad, but it was very non-adult. My ad didn't even have a pic, and the landing page didn't shown any nudity or as Facebook puts it "suggestive poses". I may have another go at this with a new account later today, but for now I'm just gonna sit back and see what happens with a program that bans advertisers at the drop of a hat. For those of you having success, congratulations and I hope you keep sapping that resource while you can. Hopefully soon FB will revamp the program and stop with the insane bannings.

Is anyone going to do this?

Does anyone have a clean CC#+IP Address that they'd be willing to test with? See if this is a universal change, or only for IPs/CC#s with previously banned accounts?
