    Business Facebook rejected my paid boost, but...

    This is a weird one. Facebook rejected boosting of a post on my page - but the audience was specifically set to page subscribers only.

    So I can make a post with "unsuitable" content to the page (post was wishing everyone a happy new year, links to a site that has the text "18+" and "sex chat", but with no images), yet I can't boost that same post so more subscribers to my actually page see it.

    The other odd thing is that I have boosted posts with the very same link previously.

    Seems to be no avenue of appeal, just keep trying until something works.

      Dealing with Facebook is like a dog begging for treat from an owner that hates dogs.

          Too many of your subscribers complained to Facebook then unsubscribed.

                          Haha, nah, I don't rely on them to generate income, so it's really just a bit of frustration and mild bemusement. Now if Google decided to penalise me, that would be another story entirely.

                          I presume some overworked person in a third world country looked at my ad and site for about 2 seconds then clicked "nope." FB probably makes more money by only acknowledging advertisers who spend big.

                              So out of curiosity, I calculated some stats over a period of a few months...

                              - 175534 total confirmed browser IPs
                              - 145985 from referer google.* (100% organic)
                              - 2190 IPs from referer facebook.com. Both paid and organic; at least 1207 of those are deep links so are NOT from paid ads. That's an absolute maximum, but likely less, of 983 paid visitors referred from Facebook

                              Conclusion: I'll continue sucking on Google's engorged teat
