Application Declined

Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by Clientchuk, Mar 25, 2010.

    I tried to apply to some of the CJ advertisers but there appeared an instant and probably automatic message: "Your application declined for one or more reasons. Contact advertiser for more info..." What is this? Do they set some sort of filter overthere? What exactly can it be?

    Some companies require more information before blindly accepting new publishers. Have you tried e-mailing the company to getting accepted?

    Well, try contacting the advertisers as the message said. Hopefully you won't get automated messages when you do that as well.

    Could be your location, stats or any other number of factors. If it's a merchant you really want to promote and you bring something to the table e-mail them.

    Just email the program manager with more information about the site and why you think they make a good fit.

    Some of the bigger named companies only like working with well established websites.

    Thats fine, I always just say "their loss" because normally one of their competitors approves me.

    Mostly the companies who offer leads use to decline applications. Advertiser also look for locations, content (if their product related content is in your blog/site). Depending on them, they tend allow/decline publishers. Even once you have been accepted, they may expire your application due to less sales/leads; I experienced this several time.

    If the rejection is instant, the most probable reason is location of applicant, as the IP address is instantly known. If the rejection comes after days or weeks, the reason must be the failure of applicant's websites to qualify.

    Yes, some advertisers are picky about the sites they choose. It depends on the market and the sites included in that market. If you sites doesn't measure up to the standard of exisitng sites, the advertiser would most liklely reject you. Sometimes advertisers want you to call them to decide if you are a scammer or not. It depends on many factors but there are so many of them, if you get rejected move on the another.

    some CJ affiliate does not want publishers from specific country. If you want approval you can write the mail desdcribing how you will promote that niche.
    best of luck :)

    Email the advertiser, some companies like to weed out subpar publishers, shouldn't be very difficult to be approved as long as you're honest

    When you first signed up you filled out some information about your web site and it's catagory. If the catagory of the product does not match one of the catagories you cheked your application is denied many time. You may just need to adjust your affiliate profile. If that does not work sending a email to the vendor works in many cases.

    I think it also matters where you are from. In many cases advertisers accept only people from the USA, unfortunately...
