is there a way to know which advertiser in cj lets you apply automaticly?without having to wait for a response email
don't know if there is a system to it but I would say the ones with lower percentages and products for sale and some of the lower lead payouts. those related to your account website settings seem to aprove right away also
From what I know, very few advertisers select publisher's self-selected site categories for auto-approval. Most auto-approvals are either across the board, or for publishers w/earnings bars over a certain level (I was rejected more frequently in my first 3 months than when I was a 5-bar).
Most CJ advertisers have their programs set to decline automatically incentive sites. This can be unfortunate if the affiliates is not an incentive site...
For the programs that I work with, we manually review all sites. Very few applications are auto-rejected, with the exception of a few countries (publishers in these countries generally are 90+% non-working websites, or live in a country that just tried to scam a few CJ advertisers out of more than $25,000). Most affiliate managers will review applications within 2-3 business days, so don't worry too much - apply to relevant programs with a good looking, fully functional website listed in your profile & you shouldn't have a problem.
