Instant Articles Is Pumping Since Recent Purge

[genghiscon]

It looks like facebook went on a massive purge and got rid of the majority of people with Instant articles. They put up a post in the support forums saying it's not a bug. But for the people who haven't got banned, did Instant Articles revenue sky rocket for you to since this happened?

They banned 14 of my pages last month, still had 11 going, now I'm down to 4 pages. Just bought 8 more pages and waiting for the new 10 day approval. FB is going hard but the numbers and reach have gone up drastically this month

I've lost my IA account over the dumbest fucking "guideline breaking" articles I've ever seen. Apparently posting a news article about a celebrity dying or a drunk guy singing is against the rules. How do you guys get around that? Don't you need banking info for all new accounts?

When I appeal i get an auto-response saying i'm eligible for IA still even though my page stays disabled.

CPM drops and raises all the time depending on what GEOs are hitting the articles that day. I meant it sky rocketed because look at the impressions, + 122%. Meaning they pretty much doubled my reach since last month

Yea I had 5 pages waiting for over a month and all of them were given the red lost access warning at the top instead of approval.

Well, impressions count also if you have longer articles. If you use normal adbreaks at 250 words an adbreak and you write an article 10 reasons to hit the gym you get almost 10 ad units and you make 20$ on a 1000 unique visitors in a single article.
There are many reasons to increase your impressions, maybe you increased your decrease your posting time and so on. But if you get better reach that's even better.

Yea that's true but my articles are 750 words each, never less or more. I pay a writer to take care of that and it's always the same 750, she might go over by a couple words but never 250 to get another ad.

But yea my reach has pretty much doubled, every article is hitting over 100k average reach and 5-600k on best articles now when before they were 50-60k at best and 20k average
