    7 whole days.

    Maybe you should back up and figure out what it is they want in order to accept your application.

    They are a business in business to make money. Can you show them how you can make them money?

    Hello netzens:

    Someone else had a similar problem and this is what I suggested:

    "There are several reasons why you may not get approved for a certain program in CJ, including but not limited to:

    - Your Network Earnings Rating (3 month EPC, 7 day EPC, and bar rating)
    - Content on your main website (Sometimes the advertisers will not take the time to review all of your websites, just the first one listed)
    - How you generate traffic (If you have designated special traffic in your account such as email marketing, some advertisers will deny immediately)

    If you get denied and you really feel like you could generate traffic and make money for yourself and the advertiser... go to their information page in CJ and email the contact!

    Ask to be reconsidered, and be sure to state your case why their network would be better off with you as an affiliate!... You have nothing to lose.

    I have over 1,500 different advertisers approved in my 2 CJ accounts, and a lot of them turned me down the first time!

    I hope things work out for you!"


    Good Luck!

    I think there's a large number of sites that apply for programs when they do not have any content on the website. It's important that your website have unique and quality content in order to interest the merchant. There aren't many programs I know that work with link farms or similar.

    Just keep trying!! Don't give up! I was turned down many times from different advertisers within cj. Keep applying to different adverstisers, someone will let you in - also make sure your account is up-to-date in cj and all your sites are listed, etc., etc. Good Luck!! John

    Forget about CJ? In my own experience trying it out was a total waste of time.

    I think you should persevere and not give up.
    If they require some additional information, just provide it to them.

    there are some quality affiliate programs out there, that do not use the major affiliate networks... (like CJ, CB, plimus, etc..)
    You just have to find them, go right to the source.

    You should have a look at Prosperent. They have almost every product from the major networks in their database. No worries about getting accepted to any merchants.

    That is one of the huge benefits of Prosperent - that you get access to tons of merchants and can get the fat commission, even if you have been denied to that merchant yourself directly through cj. I have definitely used prosperent for that (as a workaround to denied merchants) - and to get to Pepperjam stuff which I have never joined for some reason, but prosperent has all their products anyway.

    Contact them directly through email explaining why you want in and how you think you will be an asset to their program

    In my time with CJ i have learned that its anot a good place to go if your just starting out. CJ is geared to the "known or well known" Affiliates. I tryed to get 4 differant ones going to max my profit on the long run and got literaly nothing out of it. After 2 months of fighting it i said the hell with it and went to CB. I havent done alot with them so i dont expect much if anything at all from CB. I found something else i have been working on any way. Best of luck to ya.

    I'd keep on trying, make sure you give them all of the info that they need, email them directly maybe? Just try and communicate to them the benefit of accepting you onto their programme, i.e how you are going to get more sales for them, methods you will use ..etc.
