I just created an account in CJ and tried to add few (good paying) ads. But most of my application got declined but there is no explanation why is it rejected, is there any way for me to know the rejection reason so that I can fix them? Thanks for your help
hm... you can try to write a love letter to the merchants.It may helps or may not. Alternatively, move on to other affiliate networks, CJ is not the only place to join affiliate program .
Do you have incentive traffic? You can request the reason by messaging the advertisers through CJ. Some (yeah only some of them) will actually reply to you..
what type of offers are you trying to get into? lots of the lead gen / loan related offers won't let in new publishers (or once with incentivized checked, or one who has never pushed any volume through CJ). Try starting out with some of the easier to get into programs, send some leads to them, then work on the harder to get into programs.
What websites are in your profile? I can look at them & tell you the most likely reasons why you were declined (if it was a manual decline). Automatic declines are based on your country, earnings bars (whether you're a new publisher in the last 3 months, or have a history earning ranked on a 1-5 scale), and if you offer any incentives (or have anything written in the Special/Incentive description).
jaydev: write the the publisher, explain your business model, website revenue & traffic, elaborate your marketing plan to promote their product. it may help. let us know how it goes.
Out of the 30 programs I applied for, 12 got rejected. Just keep a look out for other programs. Don't quit.
I used those strategy to re-apply, some merchants accept me, some merchants still say no. howevver it's worth a try.
You need to have a relevant site for the affiliate programs you want to market...if you dont have a site they will reject you. To start off you can showcase a blog or a squidoo lens on the topic and have the same submitted in your CJ profile for affilate to accept you
squidoo lense is a webpage that you can create with squidoo, with a URL like this http://squidoo.com/NAME NAME= whatever URL you choose.
It's not CJ that declines your offer, it's the corresponding company you're applying for. You always have the option to write to the company and ask them "why". In some cases they will reply. Have in mind that there are many automatic rejections - for example, a lot of companies reject your application directly if you're not from US or some specific country. In these cases, you have also the possibility to write and convince them to accept you - for example, if you have Danish traffic but you're not living in Denmark.
It could be because of your country, where are you based? I have a few times but being in the UK I mainly get accepted for anything UK, USA, Canada, Aus, NZ.
Someone rejects you, go to their competitors then send them a nasty email 3 months from now with a screenshot of the thousand bucks you've earned for his competitor. That's what I've done, and get a response like: If you join now you can get our affiliate "plus" directly from our website with increase comission. blah blah blah. SHOVE IT.
