Last Monday I filled out my publisher application on Azoogle. On Thursday, I emailed them with my cell phone number, in case they couldn't reach me at home. This morning I left a message on the publisher application editors voice mail. Is this normal? How long does this process normally take?
lowprofilejoe, The application process takes between 5 and 7 business days. If you need immediate assistance, please call Chantelle White at 646-943-7184. Thanks, Mitchell Riichler Sr. Director of Affiliate Relations, AzoogleAds
No, I didn't send them my W9. I was uncomfortable just sending my social security number, without even speaking to anyone. Mitchell, is this true? Will I not get processed until your company has my W9/Social?
Well, I don't know the order of events in order to get accepted...I just know that 2 main things must happen 1) They must talk to you on the phone 2) They must receive your W9 via postal mail If you want to talk to somebody first, then call them up...but you're going to have to send in your W9 eventually. Azoogle is a very good company, no need to be worried about them mishandling your tax information/SS#
Do they accept international publishers? I signed up with them at least 3 months ago, but never received an approval. I sticked with clickbank since they approved me in no-time and their affiliate base really suits my needs. However, I'm always keen to try other options. Any idea why I was not approved (I'm not from the US, but Europe)
Yes, they do accept international affiliates. If your application did not come across as professional or if the website you submitted was not professional, then they're not likely to accept you. If you want to help your chances of being accepted to Azoogle, I would recommend calling them after applying.
yes calling them will massively increase the application speed. . just because we run our business online doesnt mean you shouldnt call people!
Chantelle was a huge help. I would suggest calling if you're having problems. I don't know anything about their policies regarding overseas affiliates, but I can say she helped resolve my issue.
@lowprofilejoe - have you been accepted in the azoogle network ? I applied on the 3rd of December & yet to hear anything from them (neither rejection nor acceptance). I have also sent them a reminder email. Now I think I will wait for a few more days & then call them up in case if still don't hear from them. I had applied without any website details as don't have any but mentioned specifically in the application & the subsequent email that I would be designing/creating my landing pages as per the offers available with azoogle & promoting them through such landing pages.
I was accepted. I made the call, she was super cool, asked me a few questions and sent out my welcome email. I sent the reminder email, too. I think the call is the trick. Good luck!
