Recently I got literally dozen of people contacting me everyday with facebook & google ads account offers. When I ask a question - what is it for and why would I buy it - no one can give me clear reply. So my question is - why would I (or you) buy facebook ads account? Isn't it free? How is it different from the one that I get for free simply by registering on facebook? Is it used for facebook fraud or scam? I simply don't get it.
People mainly use it for blackhat campaigns. It's hard to keep accounts alive unless you meet a strict criteria of age, activity, etc.
"Strict Criteria" If you just register a new account it will be banned before you even start a campaign.
Not sure if that's true as I recently created brand new account to manage and create ads for new site I work on - nothing was banned, ads live and bringing good traffic, there's no limits etc. Not sure why would facebook do that if they're getting paid. Of course I did not use any fraud or scam ad campaigns and site is legit also.
I think the most important thing to remember is why would they be selling them if they could make money easily themselves?
Did you add a legitimate CC on a legitimate IP? No one knows their algorithm but accounts don't last very long if you don't pass certain checks (similar to adwords)
se900se, The "black" market created en Fb Ads accounts is based on the difficult that nowadays internet marketers have to run any kind of ads (not just black hat) inside Facebook. The point is that Facebook has been very strict on the last years. Besides from "policy" banns where you are banned because you break some rule on the terms of Facebook, that is not clear as nowadays people that run any type of ads are risk of getting banned for policy, there is a ban called unusual activity. These ban basically is the one that don t allow us just to create new account and run ads freely. As their algorithm, no we are constantly decoding to be 1 step ahead them, is quite difficult to understand and is always changing. There are big things we need to have in count, as IP, payment method used, cookies based on the need of old " real profiles " to create healthy ads accounts, farm fan pages, warm the personal profiles with the zones ip that ll be used with ads. But lately other small things are taking importance on Facebook world, as the explorer you use, the language that you have selected on the google search engine, the relation between the ads you make and your profile inside facebook, etc. That is basically why there is a "pararell" market to something that seems to be as easy as "create new account". Think that if it would be so easy there was no change that to many people sell these accounts at a so high selling price. And if they are selling it (consistent in time) there is also people that is buying it and paying that prices. In my experience buying these "accounts" its not very safe. In my, and most people I talked with, it ended on a bad experienced. Instead of risking 500-1k in a ad account I recommend to look someone and do join ventures. So at the end of the day the risk is divided. I stop buying accounts (cause 2/3 was bad experiences) and start farming my own ads accounts. It takes me more time to focus on that part of the business but also its easy to me to find people to do join ventures. So at the end of the day is the same but you just change the focus on your business. Hope my answer can clear some doubts and do not hesitate to write me back if any doubt.
thanks for reply, this makes sense i do not need Facebook ad accounts and hopefully i won't, just wanted to know what's the reason behind it my accounts work well so far)
