First, hello, just wanted to introduce myself. And I have a question: I've run into some trouble trying to register on some affiliate network sites (namely RoiRocket and Azoogle). They ask for the amount of traffic my site has. Well, I'm new and have not optimized it for SEO and cannot afford PPC advertising so my traffic is like 75 per month, if I'm lucky. Some of these networks require me to have a minumum of 1000 hits per month. I plan on marketing affiliates through bulk email marketing and ppc advertising (once I get some capital with bulk email). Is there any way I could still be approved as a publisher if my site is not a heavy traffic site? Does anyone know of a good affiliate network that does not require minimum site traffic? Or is this a standard across the board? Thanks in advance for your comments.
There are a lot of affiliate networks that don't look at your site traffic. For example, Market Leverage, CJ and Pepperjam Network. However, some merchants on these networks may look into your stats and check out your sites but there are a whole bunch of them that automatically approves affiliates. By the way, you should try out ShareASale as well.
HI, Ya, your best bet may be to join some internal affiliate programs- as opposed to the networks. As long as you go with a reputable company you can enjoy some of the same network benefits with less fuss. Our internal affiliate program accepts new and old sites!
