Even worse, I had an AM tell me how great an offer was doing on Facebeat, and then, AFTER I got a warning and almost banned, she tells me, “We were warned about this. We’re still trying to get compliant versions of that offer.”

WHAT? You were WARNED about this but you still recommended it to me — without even disclosing that?! Jesus Christ.

What Ive never understood is how you can get away with cloaking? It would be so incredibly easy for Facebook to set up an automated checking algorithm (using rotating external proxy ips) that you wonder if they are intentionally allowing it to happen? Something is not quite right about this.

Ahh, very direct with some great points. Seems like too many people out there forget to look at the big picture.

Glad to see something like this, I am also aiming for a long-term success, I even don’t push all of my ideas fully, just because I don’t want to become mad and blinded.

I go slowly, I am still in the “newbie” phase, looking forward to “intermediate” and, hopefully, pro some day…

Heh, amusing stuff my friend! This is all too true that most marketers will focus on the short term… but I would disagree with a few of your points and continue to tell people to focus in on short-term results. After all — they do happen to be the best indicator of long term results on a campaign-y-campaign basis. Regardless… great article, and merry XMas!

I want to get drunk with you so bad in real life Finch. Is this how you really talk?

Wow what a breath of fresh air. That’s what I like … coming out shooting from the hip. Read the terms of service and don’t break the rules, otherwise you’ll only have yourself to blame!

Great post it took me a long time to come to the same conclusions and I’m glad I did. I agree it’s a big problem it’s become the culture of the industry to try go go into scammy markets with shady methods which isn’t good for anyone long term. Now I’m working hard to build a legit business that I’m proud to be a part of.
