Heh, this rhetoric sounds oddly familiar...Google anyone?
In before threads start popping up about, "Ok Bros, is Affiliate Marketing REALLY Dead?"
More in the sense that pretty much only legit businesses, game offers, app offers, and local offers are going to be the only thing that doesn't get you banned. Apparently even dating offers are getting people into trouble meanwhile I can submit images of girls with condoms in their hands and it's approved in < 5 mins lol
On the other hand is ad creation fucked for anyone else? I keep getting "This webpage is not available." whenever I try to submit an ad going to the review page.
Dating will stick around, just the misleading adcopy and super slutty pics won't
I've been hearing that Facebook got hit by the prospect of a large lawsuit re: their ad platform (something to do with celebs? Or a big brand having their reputation tarnished through misleading ads by affiliates?). FB team instantly flipped out and told to shut down/undercut most affiliates except the big spenders (5 figures daily or more) and go into damage control mode. Pretty much any affiliate was canned without warning so don't feel bad. Again, this is just a rumor but it makes sense.
I never got a spend cap... Problem is its impossible to max spend with the limited possibilities of offers i'm getting through.
my conversions have plummeted from steady 5%+ to .01% ever since my account got capped. its fucking ridiculous. i've been running these specific games for months then over night my campaigns got fucked.

^ This exactly.I never got a spend cap... Problem is its impossible to max spend with the limited possibilities of offers i'm getting through.
+1 for how can a spending cap affect your conversions? Its kinda hard to use data from easter week and compare it with data over a couple of months and decide the cap is the reason...
Would make sense that they have not only capped these accounts but they're also not giving them any good positioning. Think... app traffic, bottom of the barrel inventory baby.
To get back "in" we not only have to overcome campaign legitimacy in their eyes but also monetize their shit traffic? Exciting.
I'm seeing probably about 90% apps traffic since the slap, way higher than I'm used to seeing.
