Is it ok to place Ad in a Facebook Group?

[AMnewbie]

I have been noticing inside my Facebook Groups people placing Ads and links to any websites, is that against FB rules?

That's not! I even saw use cases on making profit from linking to 3rd party websites - here's an example of a news site who was promoted that way - -200-in-half-a-month-pure-profit-from-local-news-website-with-adsterra

So I am not understanding why posting link or ad to your website or affiliate offer site in your fb page or in an fb ad would not be ok but would be ok from inside of a Group regarding their rules?

 

[Graybeard]

It depends on that group's rules --

 

[AMnewbie]

Hmnn, that suggests to me that a Group would be exempt from FB's general rules, would that be accurate please?

There are two main benefits to a public Facebook page It allows to you run ads promoting your group And, it allows you to freely promote your group via public social media. People who stumble across your page may find your group interesting too and join it.

Oh sorry I was referring to private groups.

I am trying to finish up the group rules on a new group I am creating.
Can anyone offer any advice on this please? I am trying to setup the Membership Questions by asking this "By becoming a member you agree to to abide by ALL Group Rules"
but the SAVE button does not become active, any reason why please?

so was I --got booted out of one myself --they were scammers anyway

 

[AMnewbie]

Oh wait, I had thought the checkboxes option could be selected where someone would simply check the box but seems I need to select only either the Written Answer or Multiple choice options

 

[AMnewbie]

What's all of the down sides to having a Public group since you would still have authority to decide who joins and who posts what?

Did you use the drop arrow and make your selection.
I had that problem making a purchase yesterday.
The selected default is a placeholder (and not grayed out)
