Hi there all, I've only recently begun to look into the concept of affiliate schemes so it's still a new subject for me. I have a website selling Tarot/Astrology readings (URL in profile) and want to add a "shopping portal" to my site filles with affiliate products from the new age/mind-body-spirit genre Here and there on various forums I've seen people mentioning how certain affiliate schemes won't accept you unless your site has "X" amount of unique visitors per week. Is this a STANDARD issue, because so far, in my list of "potential schemes" I've been gathering together,I've not seen any mention of "eligibility for joining our scheme" criteria...... does this mean that they don't really care how much traffic you get or does it mean I have to fill out joining forms and await approval (didn't seem to suggest that either on these schemes I've found, it seems run of the mill to fill form out then instantly get codes for banners/general info etc) My site is very new....hardly any link backs yet (it's one of my current projects) and awaiting optimization tweaking from my webmaster....site if floating around the major search engines having been picked up automatically but probably on page 1001 at the moment and I haven't yet begun any marketing campaigns online as such (offline,yes) so it's really a babe at the moment, but i wanted to get my shopping portal set up asap any advice would be appreciated, thankyou
There are select affiliates program that prefer to approve only affiliates with specific set of criteria. The criteria might be your demographics, the traffic of your site and many others. This criteria depends on the program. But there are a lot of programs that automatically approves affiliates who apply to their program. If you are interested you can PM me and I can give you some shopping portals program that you may want to join.
