supernewbee question .. why you have to cloak there ? i did not read all but you buy ads or ? i don't really get why cloaking is necessary?

You cloak to get ads approved that FB would not normally approve.

Are these sites like "SocialAdNinja" useful?

To get a general idea of what others are doing, yes. But if you plan to just clone others, then your just wasting your time.

Wow, so you have been doing this for a long time.

1)What did you do before facebook ads? what have you done in the last 10 years?
2)since facebook isnt your only source of income, what else are you doing to make money? what % of your total income comes from facebook?
3)since facebook doesnt like affiliates, you have to use a cloaker if you want to promote affiliate offers, right?
4)whats the best way to promote edu offers? direct link or landing page?
5)instead of landing page and go for the sale, can i use squeeze page to build email list first then go for the sale? do you think it works better and improves conversion rates?
6)whats the best way to promote trial offers? do you do fake news/testimonial landing pages?
7)do you have to worry about ftc when promoting trial offers?
8)do you have a business setup? such as LLC? how do you do your taxes? since you already shared your earnings, do you mind sharing how much you paid in taxes last year? like what % of your total income or what did you do to pay less.
9)when you use a cloaker, what do you show to facebook review team? a blog like page? is it on the same website/domain as your affiliate landing page?

1) Other affiliate stuff, wont get into details to derail the thread.
2) Still a bit off topic
3) Only for verticles that FB doesnt like such as diet, skin, muscle and dating.
4) Direct for edu, everything else needs a LP
5) Only one way to find out, split test and see for yourself. Free tip: retargeting is worth gold
6) Yes
7) Nope
8) I pay about 50% taxes
9) just an authoritative clean page.

Sorry for the short answers but want to keep the thread on topic.

Everyone and their mom was making tens of thousands in a week (hell I recall $15-$20k days), doing newsfeed prior to say February 2014. But now this isn't feasible. Noticing 100% higher CPC costs, and 75% less volume. I'm not gonna say "if you can't do, teach" (explaining this thread) - but this information may have been useful say months ago when I (and you, and others) were killin it (Which may explain why this wasn't opened months back when this worked).

But doing newsfeed, desktop, USA, female ads won't bring you the volume you want today (even if bidding $2/cpcs). The only option IMO is (1) Mobile which brings clicks; (2) Outside the USA, (3) Right side ads. The newsfeed, female, USA angle doesn't work as well as it did and won't yield the ROI it did.

What do you feel about this?

My backing for this: I personally do this, I have 8 agency accounts live now spending $200/day on $1500 accounts with high bids, doing diet, facebook, newsfeed, female, USA - making good roi, but the accoutns wont spend and I've tried all new angles and only found right side and mobile (or outside the usa) to spend.

I disagree, newsfeed traffic for women in the usa is through the roof and still works great. Yes there is more mobile than desktop but mobile is a bit different to convert. Cheaper clicks sure but harder to convert. You could ""easily"" spend $50,000+ per day on women desktop newsfeed traffic, I know this because I see people doing it every single day. Outside of the USA the traffic drops a lot, but of course there are some golden nugget countries that work good, I stick to the USA where there is the most traffic. Lots of people doing 100%+ ROI with women newsfeed desktop spending $xx,xxx per day.

Btw, the spend issue is actually a glitch with FB that will resolve itself very quickly.

What cloaker works now with facebook ads?
Where to get it?

How many facebook accounts do you run and do you use fake information or actual information for the registration? If you use multiple, how do you get around facebook flagging your account, asking you to submit a drivers license?

Thank you so much for all your answers so far, your thread came at the right time for me!

Do you know of any alternative ways to verify without creating loads of bank accounts?
Do amex not question why you are creating loads of accounts for fake names? What do you tell them?

Yeah, I never understood how people dealt with that. It's part of the reason I was so apprehensive to even try FB Ads.

sorry for the newbie question but how exactly those cloakers work ? do you cloak just the link ?

Your story is really inspirational and you call yourself "Guru" or not that doesn't matter. What matters is you're here for sharing your success and give ideas to everyone what you've done so far.

Did everyone here miss the posts in page 2 !?

I may be wrong, but,
From what i see, the users "Auxiliarus" and "357Smith" (OP) are the same person !

In the following posts, question were asked to "357Smith" but "Auxiliarus" was the one who replied with the answers :

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...6-free-tips-guru-post6796347.html#post6796347

Notice in the second post where "Auxiliarus" answers a question asked to "357Smith" in which he says " I said it was a joke. "

If they are the same persons, then what is the point of this thread ?
Maybe this post (and the answer that follows the post) may answer that question:

Again, This is what i think and i may be wrong (though i doubt that)

could be a case of paranoia?

At first I thought you could be right.

But when you look at the general tone of Auxiliarus' posts and Smith's they are completely different.

Smith seems level-headed, calm and helpful.

Auxilirius on the other hand, not so much.

Interesting find, it does look fishy.

Guys. When an exec vouches for someone your conspiracy theory's about the OP are fucking retarded.

Please don't take this great thread off topic yet again.

Just to preface, I'm new to FB Ads and anyone who knows can answer this question. What exactly is causing the accounts to eventually get banned?

Running black-listed ads is the main cause after you have successfully created an FB ads account.

While creating a new FB ads account, there are infinite reasons to get banned.

Can I know what network and what kind of CPA offer you use?

Allow me to elaborate. Once your blacklisted ad is accepted by Facebook because you cloaked it, what then causes the account to be banned? The OP I believe said his accounts last about a month.

Still your account can get banned for those blacklisted ads. Approval is only one stage. There can be a manual review on your account too. It's the reason your account can last from few hours to years.

Other reason could be too many disapproved ads.

Hi i want to start Affiliate marketing again ( i've failed last time), would really appreciate your guide on where to start . e.g.

What network do you use and what are your best selling products?
Do you only use CPA ? Have you ever tried PPC?
Do you have a website ?
Have you ever tried mail marketing ?

Would really appreciate it if you can answer these questions .

Check out the previous pages, he answered some of the questions you're asking in previous posts.

So I've been looking for the $500 and $2500 cloakers OP talks about in one of his posts and unfortunately I've yet to find any info on them. I figured he specifically gave the prices of them rather than their names to weed out people who are serious from everyone else.

If anyone has any info on said cloaking devices, I'd appreciate it if you could shoot me a pm. I'm itching to give this a try.

Edit: Also why are the cloakers advertised on BHW not good enough? (Blackjack's script, NoIP, and wpCloaker)
