Breaking Through Facebook's Restricted Category Ad Dilemma: A Guide to Avoiding Risks and Achieving Stable Monetization  
For the fast-money industry of restricted category independent sites, Facebook remains the top priority for ad placement. The main reasons are: fast conversion speed, low entry barrier, relatively easy access to accounts, and lower initial investment costs compared to Google. Today, we will discuss in detail the relevant strategies for Facebook ad placement—feel free to save this for future reference.  

1. Ad Account Preparation  
- Business Accounts: Business accounts have the highest authority in Facebook ad placement, mainly including overseas business accounts (e.g., Hong Kong, Singapore) and offshore business accounts (e.g., British Virgin Islands). However, due to tightened platform policies, formal overseas business accounts can no longer be opened for restricted categories, making such high-quality resources increasingly scarce in the market. Although domestic business accounts seem feasible, they are actually unsuitable for restricted category placement: on one hand, their risk control review standards are as strict as personal accounts, making them prone to being banned; on the other hand, operating costs such as account opening fees and deposits are significantly higher than personal accounts, resulting in very low cost-effectiveness.  

- BM Accounts: Accounts with Business Manager enabled—this type of resource is also abundant, and you can directly purchase BM authorization links.  

- Personal Accounts: There are various types available on the market, such as clean accounts, risky accounts, accounts with second-time restrictions lifted, accounts with third-time restrictions lifted, and page appeal accounts.  

Based on cost and stability data, personally, I recommend considering clean personal accounts + old pages (over one year old) for scaling up ad campaigns.  

2. Network Environment  
- IP Environment: Use VPS to set up a native real residential IP. Residential proxy IPs or dynamic residential proxy IPs carry certain risks when used for personal account ad placement, as running ads on personal accounts is considered an abnormal behavior by Facebook officials.  

- Anti-Association Browsers: If your ad accounts keep getting banned and you need to add more new accounts, deploying an anti-association browser is essential to avoid falling into a vicious cycle. Facebook’s monitoring of browser User Agents, GEOgraphic information, and browser default languages needs to be covered by an anti-association browser.  


3. Ad Fund Recharge  
- Virtual Cards: Binding a virtual card for ad recharge is a basic operation. However, you also need to identify reliable card BINs, as association risks exist here. As for which BINs have been flagged by Facebook and which are exclusive, high-security BINs, sellers need to use their own resources to verify.  

- Stolen Cards: Operating on the same principle as stolen accounts, they are obtained through phishing. However, binding stolen cards is troublesome and requires verification. If you want to skip the verification process and directly buy pre-bound ad accounts, they are not only expensive but also have unstable limits. Therefore, researching stolen cards is not recommended.  


4. Ad Approval & Placement  
Normal ad placement and approval are a matter of probability—and the probability is very low, with ad accounts getting banned extremely quickly. This is where ABCloak comes in. The basic principle of a cloak during ad approval is to block official monitoring, but it cannot guarantee 100% shielding.  

Many merchants have a misunderstanding: they believe that as long as they use cloak technology, they can ignore basic factors such as account quality, login environment, and recharge methods. In fact, this idea often backfires— a cloak is essentially just an auxiliary tool, and the final ad approval probability is still closely related to the account’s own authority. Although a high-quality cloak solution can effectively extend the lifespan of an ad account, only by combining it with a high-authority business account, a stable login environment, and compliant recharge methods can you maximize account efficiency. Remember: a cloak is an "amplifier," not a "replacement."  

During placement, using Cloak for IP filtering to block Facebook officials and users outside the target region relies on the Cloak system’s database for IP identification, which may also result in audience filtering. Beyond account quality and cloak technology, the key aspects where advertisers directly impact ad ROI are reflected in the following:  

6 Core Strategies for Compliant Placement  
1. Creative Production Tips  
   - Use lifestyle images instead of product close-ups  
   - Video creatives perform 30% better than static images  
   - Avoid sensitive information on product packaging  

2. Copywriting Key Points  
   - ✅ Compliant wording: "Help manage weight" | ❌ Non-compliant wording: "Lose weight quickly"  
   - ✅ Compliant wording: "Boost confidence" | ❌ Non-compliant wording: "Increase size"  

3. Audience Targeting Strategy  
   - Women aged 25-45 (for weight loss products)  
   - Men aged 30-55 (for health supplements)  
   - Use interest tags: indirectly related tags like "healthy living" and "fitness"  

4. Landing Page Optimization  
   - Add disclaimers  
   - Use customer reviews instead of medical certifications  
   - Set up age verification thresholds  

5. Account Security Maintenance  
   - Use BM business accounts instead of personal accounts  
   - Prepare 3-5 backup accounts  
   - Do not spend more than 30% of the account balance on daily ad expenses  

6. Review Avoidance Tips  
   - Set a low budget of $5-10 for new ads to test  
   - Avoid submitting for review between 9-11 AM EST  
   - Use Facebook’s A/B testing feature to spread risks  

Polishing these core competencies requires long-term market sensitivity and accumulated testing experience. In particular, the continuous update of creative libraries and the iterative optimization of product conversion logic are essential skill advancement processes that every mature advertiser must go through.
