I have been using links from cj for almost 2 years. Usually I get accepted into all the affiliate programs. Just recently the perfect opportunity came accoss for a certain affiliate program. I did all the research and ran all the numbers. With my marketing plan I would be able to refer atleast 200 new customers a month with relitivley little work and that is going off the lowest conversion rate possible. I was so stoked I started puting a new website together and puting the marketing campaings together. And then my luck my application was denied. I applied again... application denied! No contact info is provided for the person in charge of this affiliate program. I have emailed cj.coms customer support and the affiliates customer support. This is must have affiliate program for me. Any hints in how to help me get accepted would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Which merchant denied you? It's quite common to be denied... I've been denied by over 25% of all the programs I applied to.
You applied before you even had the website up and running? I think a lot of CJ affiliates, especially the larger ones, are going to deny those applications.
I applied for a sheeet load of affiliates with a made up website. Almost all of them accepted me. I tried that with adsense and of course it didn't work.
Do you have applied to preselected categories? they only accept applications if the affiliates belong to the specific categories, also try out by using different email address.
Hi, A few advertisers have denied me as well. It's not a happy feeling. You do feel a little bit rejected and needlessly overlooked. My advice is try to resolve any issues with your site that they may point out, and then try again. If that doesn't work, then there are plenty of other advertisers who would love to have you on their team. Concentrate on them and forget about the others.
If you really-really want that advertiser, manage to find there affiliate dept. contact info and discuss the matter with them. (this does work perfectly even with big guys) Some advertisers deny applications due to quite 'stupid' reasons like publisher location, etc. -vano
Go into the "get links" page for that advertiser. There's usually an email address for you to contact them through. If not then take a guess at affiliate@ and whatever the advertiser URL is. CJ are pretty slow at getting back about these things so I'd recommend calling them. Go to the CJ homepage and don't log in - then click on Contact Us for their phone number. You say you had set about developing your site - I'm wondering if you'd had it finished yet? If it wasn't online or finished when you contacted them then I'd get it online then try to apply again...
Yes by contact personal to affiliate manager could be the last chance. Advertisers have auto approve system, such as based on reginal publiser, for US on Non US Resident. Other is using you Sales Rank on Publisher manager, Advertiser see your rank status from 0 to 5 green bars rank, this bar indicating how good your sales.
