Top 5 Rejection Triggers
1. ALL CAPS text β The #1 reason. Even one word in ALL CAPS (e.g., "FREE", "NOW", "BEST") can trigger rejection. Fix: use normal capitalization.
2. Unverifiable claims β "Best in the world", "guaranteed results", "#1 platform". Any claim that can't be independently verified. Fix: use specific, factual statements ("used by 50,000+ advertisers").
3. Urgency/scarcity language β "Last chance!", "Only today!", "Limited spots!", "Act now!" Fix: remove artificial urgency entirely. State facts instead.
4. Aggressive CTAs β "BUY NOW!!!", "CLICK HERE!!!", "DON'T MISS OUT!" Fix: use calm, descriptive CTAs ("Learn more", "Try free", "Open channel").
5. Missing disclaimers β For crypto: "This is not financial advice." For betting: "18+. Gamble responsibly." For finance: "Capital at risk." Missing these = instant rejection in regulated niches.
