Facebook reviewers are VERY particular about the kind of landing pages they will approve. For example, offers that install toolbars or put a negative slant on people who might be overweight, are a definite no-no.
Facebook has much more of a community spirit than any other mass market medium, and their goal is to look after their members' interests first. Advertisers come further down the list (like, last).
This causes many advertisers to give up in frustration.
Fortunately for you, I'm about to reveal how you can avoid the frustration and get your landing page approved almost every time. In the chapters that follow, I'm even going to show you some of the live pages I use for my own Facebook ads for markets such as games, health and Clickbank info products.

How to Use "Sandwich" Pages in Facebook
One of the most frustrating things advertisers find when using Facebook for their advertising needs, is this;
Unless you know the right way to go about structuring your Facebook ads and landing pages, Facebook reviewers will
reject them, faster than Google ever did.

You see, Facebook reviewers are VERY particular about the kind of landing pages they will approve. For example, offers
that install toolbars or put a negative slant on people who might be overweight, are a definite no-no.
Facebook has much more of a community spirit than any other mass market medium, and their goal is to look after their
members' interests first. Advertisers come further down the list (like, last).
Facebook reviewers are trained to only approve landing pages and offers that meet their
requirements. Ads or offers that may cause offence (for example, ads indicating
overweight people are ugly) or potentially take over users' computers (for example by a
toolbar that is installed) are off limits.
You can usually get your prospect to whatever page you want, but you have to do it in a
particular way that Facebook approves of.
Approval of landing pages can be somewhat hit and miss, and you will see some variation on what gets approved,
because a lot of discretion seems to be left to the individual reviewer. Reviewer "A" may reject what Reviewer "B" would
approve.
What's more, it appears a number of review centers are located outside the USA. This means that if you are running an
offer that is only for the USA, and has geo-targeting restrictions (for example, CPA offers) they will not get approved,
because they cannot be observed from say, India, without using a proxy to simulate a location in the USA.
Fortunately, there is an easy way to avoid a lot of landing page problems, that would otherwise cause a Facebook
rejection. The solution is called a "Sandwich Page" because it goes between your Facebook ad and the landing page you
ultimately will be using to do what you really want (such as…. making money bwaa haa haa haaaa!) .

This is one example of a squeeze page (so-called because it 'squeezes' the email address out of the viewer if
they wish to continue on). Pages like these work extremely well on Facebook. I get up to 75% opt-in rates with
