Azoogle isn't easy...

Kecia · 04-14-2010, 03:13 PM

Just want to let newbies know they may not want to try to get on with Azoogle at first.

I had the phone interview with them earlier this morning, and was denied. I was told my site was too new (which I couldn't argue since it's only about 2 weeks old), so the idea of just throwing up a website with them won't work. Since I have no prior CPA experience (even though I mentioned my Clickbank affiliate experience) and I couldn't show her proof of my plans to promote their offers (which will start with free methods like article marketing, and of course, the articles don't exist yet since I'm not an affiliate with them!) then I was told to call back when I had more experience.

Not saying you can't get on with this company, I just wanted to share my experience and let newer CPA affiliates know they may want to wait to get on with them...Getting denied can be discouraging, so I want to give a heads up.

I'm noticing that as well. I built my site, got a nice marketing script installed. its a members based incentive site. i just assumed hooking up as a publisher with affiliates would be easy. I'm running into lots and lots of "you are too new, not enough of this or that...call back when you are established" responses.

It can be discouraging for sure.

I got denied 30 times before i started getting accepted in cpa networks,
so keep on trying, there are many other networks that you can try

Spree · 04-14-2010, 05:39 PM

media buys...like purchasing banner placements and/or buying targeted traffic from other sites or agencies? i really need to read through the forums here and learn more.

misterwrecker · 04-14-2010, 09:06 PM

I don't even think I included a website when I applied to Azoogle and I got accepted.

But don't worry there are so many cpa networks out there that if one rejects you, then you move on.

This got me into every CPA network I applied for, first try:

Know your stuff. Come up with some specific ways that you plan on marketing their offers. Be honest about your past experience. It also helps to show them a few legit websites that you own that are running CJ, ClickBank, Amazon, AdSense, etc. During the Azoogle interview they started asking some pretty "nosy" questions and I told them I wasn't comfortable giving them that kind of information about my sites and earnings... I was still accepted.

Pretty sure it was like this for me too, but that was many years ago now. Beginners might want to check out Ads4Dough and those networks.

Kenster · 04-16-2010, 07:24 AM

If you are completely new, apply to some of the second and third tier networks to get a feel for it and get your confidence up. Never apply to your favorite network first, as some people need practice.

After you get into some smaller networks you can leverage this as you apply to the larger ones as well.

"hey I belong to this network and that one and doing quite well but hear you guys have much better offers and that's why I'm applying with you"

Kecia · 04-16-2010, 11:03 AM

I'm not too worried about it now. I've managed to get on with 2 other networks, and they have more than enough offers for me to promote. I may come back to Azoogle (and Neverblue since they denied me too) if I run out of good stuff with these 2, but I doubt I will...

essmeier · 04-16-2010, 11:38 AM

I wouldn't get too worked up about not getting in with Azoogle. Their user interface isn't all that friendly, and they don't offer a lot of useful stats, such as EPC and Network Earnings.

You might start with CPALead if you haven't already. I got in with them by filling out a form and doing nothing else.

I had a phone interview with Alexis at Azoogle last night. It went pretty good. She more or less, just wanted to know my plans on getting traffic (such as adwords, backlinking, social bookmarking.) I got approved this morning. Along with approvals from BlueTrackMedia, LeadPUB, and AdCommunal.

Azoogle was the only one who wanted a phone interview so far from my long list of affiliates to join.

shinderdp · 04-16-2010, 05:23 PM

I started a my site Timbo Slice like 3 weeks ago and was accepted into most of the CPA networks I tried. At first I was having trouble, but now I can pretty much get into whichever ones I want. I just told them my site is for fun and that I market through PPC and they let me do it.

Zeb · 04-17-2010, 02:02 AM

I got approved with azoogle without a phone interview

That's probably because i told them that i was living in a different timezone which very well conflicts our business hours. I didn't shy away and told them that we could still do the phone interview provided we fix a time to have our timings meet.

They didn't want to go through the hassle i guess and approved me lol. Of course they interviewed me via email but the key is to let them think that they want you onboard (confidence and know what you're talking about) and not you wanting to desperately join em.

Azoogle is very picky, they are also having legal issues so it might make it more difficult

williamrs · 04-17-2010, 10:04 AM

I never had problems getting accepted. Ok, one or 2 affiliate managers asked me to see on of my Clickbank campaigns (I don't like to show my campaigns, but...), but most of them just asked some simple questions. Here is a list with some good CPA netowrks that accepted me without a lot of questions:

Clickbooth
Lidango
Neverblue
Tatto Media
Commission Empire
Direct Leads
ROIRocket

The networks above have good offers (mainly the first 3), so you can use them to get started and try to apply to bigger networks (Maxbounty, COPEAC, Hydra...) later, when you have some experience and a few nice campaigns to show them.

YouDontKnowMe · 04-18-2010, 05:10 AM

You don't need a site to get accepted to Azoogle. As others mentioned before me, know your stuff!

For example, if you want to run PPC traffic:

-Tell them what verticals you want to run.
-Other networks you have worked with.
-Big names in Azoogle (e.g. Shoemoney) and how you read his/her blog all the time.
-Anything else... landing pages, CTR, EPC, keywords, etc.

They can pretty much tell if you are fudging it or really on top of your stuff. Go for it and good luck!
