Hey all,
As of yesterday I found out Facebook all of a sudden delisted my page that I had linked to my affiliate website.
Just like that, no warning, no message, no nothing.
The only way I found out is when I wanted to post a new post on my page.
I saw a message that stated that I could not promote any gambling content on my page as this was against their page policies.
Well I don't know which donkey head pulls the strings over there but I was doing this since 3 months!!
Simultaneously I was posting the same content on Twitter.
This is the message I got:
So after 3 months!!!!!!!! and 250 posts they decided all of a sudden to pull the plug.
Worst part is, I paid for boosting some of my posts and they all were authorized and of course they took my money willingly from my credit card.
I have spent about 60 Euro on advertising and it was actually going quite well.
I find this disgusting behaviour.
Of course I will not appeal against this decision as it would be a waste of my time.
However I did send them a nice e-mail and told them it would be wise to refund my money for paid adverts that would have been against their own page policies.
I am honest, I had no idea what you could or not could use a separate Facebook page for.
I have my private account and within that account I made my own page just to try and make a few bucks from affiliating.
Apparently Facebook can target under aged people and kids with no issues to play their so called "social games" where people have spend millions and millions on and also they target me all the time on my own private news feed with sign up bonuses for casinos or to play this new great social game.
All these adverts are ALSO sponsored so as a company you are allowed to promote your products but as an affiliate you are not wanted.
That sucks and is a bunch of BS.
Worst is they took money from me (it is not the amount that bothers me but the fact they approved my campaigns) and then just a few weeks after they delist my page.
Ah well, another lesson learnt in my still young affiliate days.
Do NOT use Facebook, they do not want Joe regular to earn a few bucks.
And their policy? It seems their policy is being enforced by a bunch of clowns.
One approves my ads, the other one delists my page.
Anyway just have to stick to Twitter / Instagram for now.
No issues there.
