FBML fanpages become “unsupported” in Jan 1, 2012 according to current FB guidelines — and reportedly (?) will stop working (?) if I interpret the FB language correctly — June 1, 2012.

There have been updates to the product that talk about not using fbml at all.

Problem solved!

The SSL is only required if the fanpage is hosted outside of Facebook.

John,

You’re right that editing the landing page post ad approval was mentioned as a tactic. But its just a tactic and is not required to implement the strategies in the program. Many users choose to not have the landing page be the ad page at all – better for building community.

And didn’t FB start requiring SSL already (October 1st)?

John,
Legitimate concerns.
And I can see why you might get that impression.
There’s a difference between “disallowed” and “hard to get approval for.”
It’s hard to say more without revealing parts of the product — but there is much much more to the product than just the part you are concerned about, and other ways to deal with the particular area that you find problematic.

maybe I misunderstood his plan but it sounded to me like you set up an ad page with facebook under what would be acceptable under their TOS. Then you go back after it’s approved and re-do the ad so it is much harder hitting but would not be acceptable to FB if they knew about it, thus taking advantage of the premise that they probably won’t check on you. To me if that’s true it is a BIG fly in the ointment. It sounds dishonest and I can’t do dishonest. I would love it if someone could correct me because I would really like to utilize FB for profit and it sounds like a good plan otherwise. Sorry for the wordiness. John
