FB has been banning authors from posting in book related groups. We do not know what the actual trigger is, whether it's the timing between posting or if it is the exact same post on the various groups or the number of posts done in succession, but once you are banned, you are out of the water for 14 days minimum. It's a 14 day black out from any group activity, and what is worse, when they ban the user from posting to groups, they delete ALL their posts from the beginning of time, not just the ones that may have triggered their algorithms.
This includes deleting entries in groups that that author created, even closed or secret groups.
So if you use this option in your marketing strategy, you might want to think twice or at the very least, spread out your posting throughout the day to gain exposure without risking being banned.
Unfortunately, I got hit with this while trying to advertise my new release coming out this week. So any exposure through Facebook is completely gone.
Lesson learned and passing along so someone else doesn't get slammed at a critical time if they use this strategy.
