hi, i applied to graboid on cj.com but they rejected my application automatically, i cant find any email address to contect the advertiser. Is it normal that graboid rejects my application? I am not a US citizen
Some Advertisers do not want any affiliates unless they meet a predetermined cut off point. Unless you can increase your performance across the network you may not get accepted. Some will not talk to you at all and do not post an email address. You can keep hitting apply or you can move on. That's just how it is.
I personally found that I was getting rejected by some really big named companies-- companies that I endorse to my own customers so it was a little bit of a shock to me. I found that if you email that advertiser directly asking them to appeal because you firmly believe in their product/services and explain to them better how you plan on marketing their ads, they'll often reconsider and approve you. The others, if they didn't have an email posted, I actually went out of my way to find their email on a different route-- It depends on how bad you want to work with that advertiser on how far you'll go to get approval. Give it a try and see if it works for you. It can also be dangerous, I suppose, if they were to report you for harrasement. LOL. Worth a try-- it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission sometimes it would seem.
Don't take it personally. If you want to be an affiliate for a specific company, then you can try to contact them. If you just want to be an affiliate, then let it go and try a different company.
I don't know if its still the same, but take a look at this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=792879
