in CJ, I was disapproved the instant I clicked the "join" button for one advertiser (I think it was Shop At Home Network, they had really incredible stats). Any idea why this happens? I mean, how can you get disapproved without anyone even looking at your account or sites? That was the only time I ever had it happen.
See... this automatic approval has some previous criteria set and if you dont pass them they disapprove... usually this is the number of sales you have made or number of click you have made... or your past history... If you are old and had been with CJ for a while and making good sales and leads... rather having good sales and leads ratio... then mail to the advertiser about this and if they can approve you they will... Hope this helps...
Search around, and you shall find... Those are the ONLY reasons you can be auto-declined, other than being banned from a program manually.
