how to unblock website url on facebook

Facebook blocked my website. Here’s how I got it back again.

 If you're a business or a blogger then your website is at the guts of what you are doing. 

A huge part of growing any business is Word of Mouth. It's one of the oldest and best sorts of marketing there's. 

And in today's society, word of mouth marketing likely comes from Social Media. 

With the power to share content amongst online communities in a matter of seconds, people are sharing and consuming information at a faster rate than ever before. 

Social Media is quickly becoming the place to be for businesses and bloggers in 2019 and beyond. 

It's a valuable place to network and obtain your brand seen and heard. 

We all know that. 

So what would happen if to web giant like Facebook blocked your website from their platform? 

Well, that's exactly what happened to me. 

Facebook blocked my website. 

And trust me eleven I say IT SUCKS being blocked. 

Your audience can't share any of your content. 

You can't link to your site - on groups, messenger, or to friends. 

You can't even add your website to your Page while blocked!

And it turns out I’m not alone.

Other people were having an equivalent problem I used to be. 

So I wanted to place together a brief guide for people within the same boat. 

In this article, I'll explain how I acknowledged my website was being blocked by Facebook and ultimately how I got my URL back again.

How to tell if your website has been blocked by Facebook 

My personal blog is comparatively new. 

I've been blogging here for around a month now at the time of writing. 

But eleven I published my very first post, I couldn't share it on Facebook. 

I clicked the 'Share' button on my post… and Sh * t !.

Facebook hit me with a mistake message. 

“Your message couldn't be sent because it includes content that people on Facebook have reported as abusive. " 

What ?! 

How can my website already be flagged as abusive? 

It's brand new! 

I tried it again. 

And again. 

Always an equivalent thing. 

I knew I used to be in trouble, so I ran straight to Google to ascertain what this error meant. 

And there it had been. In black and white.

Your website and its content has been blocked by Facebook

This was bad timing eleven I was trying to launch a replacement Blog. 

I went back to Google. 

"How to unblock your website from Facebook" 

So much information. Some old, some new. 

This was three weeks ago. 

And I've spent that point testing various methods to urge my URL unblocked on the social network. 

So I've put all of this together into some brief methods below on the way to get your domain unblocked from Facebook.

How to get Facebook to unblock your website

So you think that your URL has been blocked from social media? 

Or you've acknowledged through an identical process as me above. 

Firstly - we are getting to got to get Facebook to verify Este, then we'll contact them and ask them to unblock our URL. 

To confirm that your website is blocked, we are getting to use a tool called the Facebook Debugger. 

Using the Facebook URL Debugger Tool

Head over to the Debugger tool at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ 

Enter your website URL into the box then click the 'Debug' button.

If your website has been blocked by Facebook, you'll likely be faced with a mistake that appears something like this.

If you don’t get this error, and therefore the debugger runs as normal — then check your ‘Warnings that ought to Be Fixed’ tab for a mistake that says “URL blocked”.

If you've got neither error, then your website won't be blocked.

I was faced with the error: “We can’t review this website because the content doesn’t meet our Community Standards. If you think that this is often an error, please allow us to know”.

Submitting a report to Facebook

Facebook is notoriously difficult to contact. 

They don’t accept normal emails like most businesses do and instead, they require you to submit bug reports or support messages.

So so as to urge our URL unblocked, we are getting to got to get in-tuned with them in as some ways as possible.

Note that on the Debugger error message above there's a link to tell Facebook that you simply think this is often an error.

This seems like the next logical step, so click that link and fill out the form

This form files a report with Facebook that they could or won't investigate.

But it’s a step in the right direction.

I went on to fill this same form in about 3 times over the duration of my block.

I also got a few friends to submit an equivalent form complaining that they can’t share my content on Facebook.

In this position – anything you'll do to urge their attention helps.

Report a drag to Facebook

Another step you'll fancy getting Facebook to eventually notice you — is to report your block as a ‘problem’.

To Report a drag, click on the assistance Center button within the top right corner of Facebook.

Then select Report a Problem from the list.

From the pop-up screen, select Something Isn’t Working

Now fill in the form to file a problem report about your blocked URL with Facebook.

Please note that Facebook can take an extended time to reply to those reports — if you're lucky enough to urge a response.

This is not a concrete method of contacting Facebook, but it could help motivate them to unlock your website.
