Greetings for all, I am an new publisher from CJ. When ever i try to get a link to promote from Cj it shows the advertiser rejected and i can contact the advertising manager on this matter. It happens with all the links i try to promote. Experienced CJ publishers help me on this matter.
Email the advertisers with the link to your site and say you are targeting the us traffic, and tell them a little about the site and objectives. Many of the advertisers after that will aprove you.
Do you have a working website listed? Many of applications that are rejected after manual review (at least on the programs that I work on) are publishers who have listed no website or have a website that doesn't work.
I think it helps to show some success with one advertiser before trying to apply to a bunch of programs.
You don't get rid of the "New" ranking until you've been a member for 3 months, and most advertisers do not auto-decline based on earnings bars, in my experience.
