How I farm FB accounts to run ads



Perhaps some of you could see my previous tip. Now I am going to share the next secret .

The most evident fact about Facebook is that you always get banned. It’s like your favorite video-game at a hardcore difficulty with the only limit – there is no right to make mistakes. Facebook is insane about account blocks, but it is considered to be one of the best traffic sources nowadays. When you do wrong – your account is marked and you lose everything. Today I’m going to reveal my personal method of creating legal trustful accounts for Facebook ads.

To win your enemy you should know your enemy. “He who controls the traffic controls the universe.” So you can’t leave this as it is, you always return and fight Facebook again and again, never breathing a word about accounts loss.


So I suppose, each of you knows, that the ad platform is crazy about accounts. It is famous for its regulations that leave no chance for the affiliate marketer to have his account alive for more than a month. So there are three actual reasons why things are going this way. You need to make them clear in order to be successful.

- First of all, Facebook ALWAYS takes care about what they call USER EXPERIENCE. If one does not want to see your ads anymore, then Facebook will do everything in order not to show your ads to the user anymore. FB’s income allows him to play his own game and do nothing with the advertisers.

- The second reason is terms and conditions for advertisers. The ad network provides its partners with direct rules of what is good and what is wrong. If you wish to run “suspicious” product then you go blackhat. There are always just two ways: you run safe whitehat ads and have the little profit or you do blackhat and follow a death path. A bad thing about it is that your account anyway got flagged by the user and account gets banned at last.

- The third thing is the result of Facebook’s global reach. Every affiliate all over the global provides the attempts to run ads on Facebook. The largest amount of cheaters, fraudsters, and scammers come from the 3-tier countries (and Russia as well). They do bad things like: CC fraud (carding), debts on the account that are never paid for and so on. I mean they never take care of the ecology of our business; they just need money to survive. Mostly because of their activity we have cases like the following: a person creates the account, submits his payment method and got banned even being unable to run his ads. FB is a big data monster. It collects every piece of data for analysis. And at the same time, some daredevil Russian guys trade their manuals “how not to pay for ads purchased”.



The main problem for the affiliate today is to make your account live and not being blocked, as everybody knows how to blackhat. When your account remains active for 7 days – it’s quite obvious. When it lives for two weeks – this is luck. When his life lasts a month – it is a treasure.

FB is suspicious about just everything. When it founds any sort of activity that fraudsters do – then you will be asked to send proofs you’re a real person and so on. In this case, FB uses a bad technique copied from PayPal – you will be asked to send the copies of your documents or paid bills.

No one knows the full list of information FB collects from you, but during numerous experiments, it was discovered that network has a reflection towards the following data:

1. Your current IP-address and installed DNS. For years FB gathered a database of IP-ranges of proxy providers, data centers, VPN-services and so on. Most of these services had already been used by the affiliates – thus located by Facebook;

2. User-agent of a browser;

3. Time and Date set in your device and account, correspondence of these settings with your IP address;

4. Languages installed in browser, OS and Facebook;

5. Cookies and cash of web browser;

6. Your system data like OS version, MAC and so on;

7. And of course your account history;

This is not clear, what formula FB uses ranging the account quality, but most users agree there is a rate of trust for every account. This rate determines the quality of the ad account and depends on the numerous parameters (it concerns both the account itself and ad cabinet). The higher trust rate you have – the more flags and complaints you may bear before being blocked. I developed my own plan that allows me to create numerous accounts that are trustful enough to run ads. For you to know – I run ads from Russia (this is one of the most difficult geos to run ads from) and my accounts remain alive for at least a month. I am not sure this will work the same in any other geo, but I hope it will be even better.



So what features increase the trust rate of your account?

1. Its age. Seriously, the older account is – the higher trust rate it will have. But you need to simulate some real human activity on it anyway (otherwise banned);

2. Its CURRENT social activity. The more friends, shares, likes and comments you have – the better for ad account it is.

3. Full correspondence of IPs, MACs, Timezones, Languages and so on;

4. The credit card you use. Virtual credit cards may not work at all. Debit cards are better than credit ones and so on. It depends mostly on the region. At the same time if PayPal doesn’t confirm your data – account will get banned.

5. A number of funds spent. It’s quite evident.

6. You need to submit a telephone number, email and other stuff if possible to your account.


To cut a long story short, it works like this: your account should look like the account of a real person. That is it. But when users start flagging your ads, the trust rate will be decreasing (until the account is blocked).



What features decrease the trust rate of your account?

- Any link or connection with a blocked/marked account (whatever: friends, shares, IP’s, proxies);

- Huge amounts of money spent at the very start of the account (you need to do it consequently);

- Password changing;

- Big number of campaigns ran from the beginning;

- The usage of CCs that are suspicious for facebook data;

- Suspicious behavior like non-corresponding info.


Let me add some words about the accounts for rent:

There are hundreds of agencies supplying you with ad accounts. Most of such accounts have no any trust rate indeed. They are just named as trusted. In fact, you are giving a clean account in most cases. If you rent an account and get banned – they will not return the money you deposited, so there is no any reason to risk at all.


There are also some markets that trade the accounts. You may easily purchase dozens or hundreds of accounts, but they do not have any increased trust rate. Just bear it in mind.


So now let us discuss the method itself. What do I do to create my own trustful accounts? For now, I will provide you with the light variant of a scheme. This scheme may be easily used by every affiliate. At the same time, the trust rate of the accounts will be high enough to make some dollars before the account is banned. Let’s go.


1. First and foremost I purchase GSM sim cards of any mobile carrier in my region;

2. Then I submit a Google account for every telephone number that I have. I link them between each other;

3. You need to purchase a pure VDS for every account to run. Seriously => One account is used at one VDS; this will be great if your VDS hadn’t been noticed by FB before. You need virgin hardware and virgin IP-address of your region (highly probable);

4. Then you need a proxy for every account (in case your VDS already been noticed by Facebook);

5. Now you need to use your VDS + IP(proxy) + SIM/Google data to create new accounts;

6. Now let them sleep for a while ( 2 – 4 weeks is perfect);

7. While the account is at holidays, imitate the activity of real persons. But never let them cross or be connected to each other.

8. After the period of holidays is over, you may start submitting the payment info. Some guys run ads from the beginning, but I prefer to let the account rest for a while.

9. Now you need to warm up your account. I do it in several steps. I run some whitehat ads and spend $20-$50 at low budgets. You may do it 2-3-4 times to increase the trust rate;

10. If nothing bad had happened until know, now you may switch to rage mode and start the party!




Ah! Some tips for the affiliates:

- Try not to link your accounts at all. The Big Data works like this: if one account is banned, all the others linked with a banned one lose some trust points. So take care of it.

- Don’t get upset if you are banned. You can never know when the user is angry about your ads. It may even happen immediately. At last, every blackhat account will be blocked one day. So don’t worry.

- You should run a whole cycle of production. Create 2-5 of the accounts every day, and you will be supplied with them 365 days in a year!

- Never let your colleagues see your scheme. Never give your accounts to them and do not even think about taking theirs. I think there is no need to explain this.

- At last, do not piss in the river you gonna drink from. The short term money is not a solution. Today you run post-pay ads and never pay, tomorrow this option will be closed to everyone because of you. You will never build a long term business on it.

- Facebook is profitable. Do not try to make ALL the money in one day. Be patient and consequent. Fortune favors the brave (and prepared ones).


That’s it for now, friends. Hope this material will be useful. And thanks for reading this.

How to get high CTR at Facebook Ads



As most of you know, the main value of Facebook ad network is that you may purchase traffic worldwide at low prices. It’s not a secret that the low cost of traffic is the result of high CTR of the ads on an eCPM basis. I mean: the higher your CTR is – the cheaper you get the traffic. It is quite obvious.

So, to gain profit you need to maintain your CTR high-level. There are two ways to get CTR => create aggressive promo (and get banned, lol) or target the audience that fit your product well.

The first way is a death path indeed. I mean, if you run aggressive ads – your ads will be flagged with complaints and abuses. At last, one day you will find your account blocked. The second method is much safer and easy-to-use.

To find the most suitable audience for an affiliate offer I use a tool “Audience Insight” in facebook ad account. You may easily find it.



For years this tool was not useful for most regions and geos. There had been data for the US only. Since now its database is huge enough to provide us with qualitative analyses about almost every geo.


This tool gives you the insight about peoples’ likes, demography, their preferences and behavior. Any SMM-ninja will find it extremely useful, but we mostly need the option “Activity”.



This metric performs the frequency and intensity of social signals of chosen audience towards the posts in the Social Network in general. I mean it shows how people react to posts.

We are interested in the latest parameter “Ads Clicked”. It denotes the average number of clicks made by a user (targeted audience is blue and people on Facebook is gray) in the term of 30 days.

So, the higher frequency of “Ads Clicked” is – the more loyal to ads your audience is, and the more click from your ads you will get. Got it?


How it works:

The screenshot above demonstrates the statistics for all the audience on Facebook in the USA. We can see that average US user clicks Ads up to 15 times per month. Now, by varying different targeting filters, we need to get this rate as high as we can.

For instance, we can easily discover that users in France have average frequency – 9; users in Italy – 16. So if you want to have better CTR for your ads – you’d better look for offers from Italy:




Furthermore, you can discover that women are more valuable than men (20 vs 16):



As well as young women (18-23 of age) are more preferable for us than the ones of age 30-45. 24 vs 20:



You can be setting almost every parameter you can use while making adsets on Facebook.

If you have active fanpages (with a total audience more than 1k of users) that are already in use – you may add them for analysis.

This very tool has one more good option that is called “Page Likes”. Here the pages which most likely will arise users’ interest according to Facebook’s experience are gathered. You may use the pages from this instrument to increase the frequency of “Ads Clicked”. For example, if I set up additional interests for my audience (Italy, female, 18-23) with pages like MTV Italia, MTV music (Italy) and so on, I will receive the highest frequency: 37 and the monthly reach will be high enough to run ads (of about 1M of users):



(Now we have the highest Ads Clicked frequency to start a campaign)

What is more, you can start creating a new campaign from this very tool. Just click a green button “Create Ad” – and all the targeting filters and parameters will go into Ads Manager or Power Editor.


By the way, by experimenting with targeting different geos you will recognize a lot of interesting facts. For example, Russia is like this, lol:



Does that mean Russians never click posts? Definitely, no. Does that mean Audience Insight is giving us shit? I don’t know. Nevertheless, I successfully use it to run ads at high CTR, so I purchase traffic at a lower price.


Just some sad words at the end. No matter how much experienced with tools you are, the first thing to pay attention to is your creative materials. If your ad looks like shit, then not even Zuckerberg himself will help you gain high CTR. So be sure to start with the creative materials.

That’s it for now. Hope it will help everyone here to make money on Facebook.

How I made 1600$ with Facebook comments last month as a newbie

Whatsup my brothers,

So I started my journey in the world of internet marketing in May this year. In the beginning I read as much information as I could on this forum to learn about the trade. I played around with some of the methods here and had some success, but nothing that was really sustainable.

Then I read the great advice that for real success you should use the older methods as inspiration and take the best ideas and tricks from them and create your own new working method. So that is what I did; I took the best parts of the methods and combined them in a strategy that works for me!

Because I feel that I own this success to you guys, I decided to share this method with you!

What I learned:
-How to quickly make good looking scalable landing pages
-How to host them for free
-What doesn't work anymore on Facebook (Like groupspamming etc.)

The Facebook method

- Pick a CPA offer you want to advertize on Facebook
- Generate a static landing page with https://purelander.com/signup and download the page as a .zip
- Upload the .zip on https://pages.github.com/ to host the landing page for free
- Post the link with an account with a custom hashtag (something like #FreeiPhone)
- With another account spam this hashtag everywhere!

People will click on the hashtag and see the post with the link to the landing page you have hosted on Github. Since you aren't spamming any links, it's very hard for Facebook to recognize this as spam.

The limits of making money with this method are based on your ability to post the hashtags on as many places as you can and it's based on the number of parallel landing pages/offers you are running.
Since the hosting is free, it's very easy to rapidly make new landing pages and scale your work.
If you can automate posting the hashtags, you can make even more money. Or maybe find a way to make the hashtag go viral, that means that other people will essentially advertize for you!


I hope this method will help you all and I hope that by posting this I can give something back to this great community!

Have a great day

Facebook Groups, Dating: Still alive, earn 20-30$ a day

So let's start 😉



1. You will need a lot of browsers
http://www.freeadvice.ru/browsers.php

Avoid the stuff of Yandex and mail.ru, as the browsers of these "companies" will cram your computer with all sorts of dubious shit, therefore, it will start slowing down. After all, removing all these useless components is another bane.

Get another browser for this project and never use it for logging in to fake accounts.

Use fake accounts in incognito mode only. There is a function in a browser “Open private window”, so you will be blocked less, and, what is more, it does not store cookies. It’s not quite convenient as it doesn’t keep logins and passwords. Therefore, make a txt file for fake accounts where you will store data: username, password, email password: date of birth. You will log in by copying and pasting data in the browser so make the passwords complex, anyway, you don’t need remembering them.

One more thing, you’d better avoid logging in to more than 5 accounts within 1 browser.

2. Accounts:

2.1. Sign up no more than 4-5 accounts per day with different browsers.

2.2. Create accounts of beautiful girls.

If you can get documents for accounts, so make sure that name, date of birth, gender and city of birth of an account match the document’s data to undergo further verification. You can choose any picture, nobody looks at it. You can choose any city of residence or even skip it. The same goes for city of birth, or choose one in accordance with the documents. BUT it is necessary to make the date of birth private by choosing "only me" in privacy settings.

If a document belongs to a golden ager, that's okay. You hid the date of birth, and there is a beautiful photo of a young girl on the profile picture.

3. How to get traffic?

3.1. The first way is the easiest: on Facebook search for groups called “add”, “add me”, “add me friends”, “add me fast” - well, you understand - any variations of these words.

Join these groups (make no more than 10 requests per day with new accounts). When joined publish simple posts:

Add photo of a girl and type “add me”.

Then wait for friend requests. You will start getting them gradually: the more you add the more requests you get. In 4-5 days you will have 500 requests per day, no less. 5000 is the limit on Facebook.

3.2. Complex way: make friends by-hand or using scripts/programs.

3.2.1. Install the free “https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/intelligence-search/dipfggodcibdmflidbceoaanadclgomm?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog” extension for Google Chrome browser - it can be installed on any browser based on Google Chrome. The same goes for any Google extension for Google based browsers. For example: Coowon, Vivaldi, Uran, Chromium etc.

Facebook does not welcome adding strangers, so now the local network search is a true shit. This extension will perfectly replace the local search to a good one.

How to use it? Click on the extension icon and set the target



There are a lot of settings but for all intents and purposes you need only three of them: city of residence, age (I have more than 25 but less than 60) and gender (male).

Click “Search” and get the results. There's no point adding friends here, as FB shows the most popular profiles. It is more practical to scroll down the results, find some victims, go to their profiles, open their friends section and choose people from there.

3.2.2. Doing it by-hand is easy. Just send friend requests to some people from USA, for example, then open one more browser tab from the friends section of your profile -> Recommendations "You might know these people". If you still do not have it, just send a couple more requests and check again – keep on doing it until you get Recommendations. But don’t send 20 requests at one blow (the fewer you send the better). Ignore all sorts of FB warnings.

3.2.3. Add friends with https://yadi.sk/d/F0exRQfV33xCYJ
carefully read the txt file into the archive, the program itself is full capacity with no cutbacks)

When the program starts off, first Internet Explorer opens. Don’t shut it down until the Blaster is activated. When the Blaster runs, shut Internet Explorer down. Sometimes when starting, the Blaster slows down, and even doesn’t run after Internet Explorer, although it hangs in task manager. There is no one to blame but original programmer. If it happens, I just shut the Blaster down in task manager and start it again - one way or another it will run (it was tried in different Windows).
Set up:



 The button on the screen parses ID's of people offered by Facebook. Of course, 10 are not enough, so we click on “Show more friends” in the Blaster browser and parse page after page. You can’t open all at once and click on the parser just once. When the offers are over and there will be nothing to parse, click “Import”, mark the tick and click start.



When the Blaster sent all friend requests, the list of people you might know will be replenished, so don't waste time and do the whole procedure again - get new ID, send requests, etc. You just need to send about 1000-1500 requests, and, concurrently, switch periodically to the browser where the account is opened and accept all friend requests you get. Don’t do it by-hands, it’s too sad. Just run the script by tab and click “Confirm”.



The script shows 5 requests at the max, but in real life it confirms all. If there are too many requests, and soon you will get friend requests from strangers in vast numbers, just keep in mind to reload the page after each 50 requests accepted and wait about half a minute. Then run it again, make 50, reload and so on. All we need is to get 500-600 friends (no more).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After 300 accepted requests, Facebook will doubt if you are a robot, so you will be asked to confirm the account by SMS.

Here is the website which will help you to do it for 0.02$ : http://www.smspva.com/

After confirming go to the account settings and remove the number of confirmation, you don't need someone else's phone number in your accounts.

Keep on parsing, sending requests and accepting all the counter requests until you get 500-600 friends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Such friending is faster, but every second account is banned – the same for by-hand method.

3.2.4. The method of making traffic in groups, where accounts are friended, is a high-risk group. Such accounts will be banned, so after you gained friends, do the following:

Install this https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/invite-all-for-facebook/eopekjehpibhfpjjcokfmhcaeiclddih?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog for Google Chrome and other similar browsers:

Create new account. Send friend request from the account which has a lot of friends to the new one. Accept it.

Then, from the account which has friends (donor) - click “Recommend a friend” on the profile of the new account.





and that button

The script will click it for you very quickly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depending on the number of recommendations, after 5 min - 2-3 hours the friends of your account will get recommendations as well, and will begin to click on them thus sending a friend requests. The new account will start getting these requests, so your task is to accept them every 5 min.

Note that the new account will also receive recommendations, so do not confuse them with friend requests, otherwise you get ban.



The more you accept the more traffic offered, so those friends you accepted will bring you many new friends as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2.5. When the number of requests grows, it’s getting hard to accept them by-hand.

For this purpose use the following https://yadi.sk/i/DMX83m5b33xAni

This script is a txt file with the code. It is not necessary to install it, but it is necessary to make a bookmark which is any website, click the right mouse button, choose Edit, paste the whole text of that file instead of url, give the bookmark any name (I just write “Script”) and save it.



Now, you just need to click on this tab for making it work on Facebook.



When you launched it, click “Confirm”, so the script accepts 5 by 5 profiles. Sometimes it works very fast, in any case, after each 50 requests accepted, reload the page and wait for 30 seconds. Otherwise you will get ban. Facebook bans for 5 hours, so you won’t be able to accept any friend request.

3.2.6. This method I call “traffic reproduction” - it is very easy to get it this way, and virtually you won’t be banned by Facebook, so I recommend you this method.

3.2.7. This method will give you a lot of traffic very quickly, appearing out of nowhere. An important point is that the traffic collected by the Blaster is of average quality, but the traffic collected by reproduction of friends collected by Blaster is worse than average. Here you can gain quantity, but quality. It all depends on your laziness.

If you're looking for HQ traffic, you need to do the stuff that Blaster does yourself: get 600 friends by sending requests to people from Europe, USA, etc., removing Arabs, Indians and others. Copy friends, but now the traffic made by-hand will be HQ, and copies are of average quality.

3.2.8. An alternative method (freebie)

Go to browser extensions chrome://extensions/
Note the tick “Developer mode”
Download this extension https://yadi.sk/d/UyWNTiJ633P5DQ:
- unpack the archive

In developer mode click on "Load Unpacked Extension" and specify the path to the folder with the extension - Installed - Ok!
The sense of method is to join groups of up to 100,000 participants. Optimally, join 10 groups 3 times a day.

When the account gets a pretty significant number of groups, run this app every day and click the button "Claim as group admin" - it can make you an admin of the group where admins were deleted for violations, or they might deleted themselves for various reasons.





One cannot gain such large groups, but why not getting free traffic? Pay attention! Before you start, it is necessary to switch Facebook language to English (US).

3.2.9. Exchanges. There are many groups on Facebook. Contact owners, offer them traffic. Most of them keep up with it.
