Top Reasons for Rejection by CPA Networks

MLChelsea · 03-18-2009, 09:22 AM

There is a defined set of criterion that most affiliate networks look at when considering a new affiliate. It doesn't necessarily matter what country you are from contrary to popular belief. As long as you have the proper information it's not impossible to be accepted, for example if you are from Hong Kong or another distant country far from the shores of most affiliate networks residing in the U.S. Also, a website does help, but it depends on your methods as well. It would be silly to apply as a web publisher with no website! Instead of finding ways to cheat the system, consider doing your research and developing a legit website and learn to play the game of affiliate marketing. It's a profitable business if you put in the extra effort!

CPA can be a lucrative game, but it is just that a game and you have to put forth the effort and prctice to win the game. You only play as well as you prctice!

Best of luck to all, Joe

As you said Even though CPA marketing is lucrative business , in order to get the most from it , you have to do it right - you have to know how to play the game right.

I just got accepted for the first time by a network. I told him I was switching from adsense type websites. He asked me what vertical markets I was in and I told I didn't know what he meant. He just wanted to know what market I was in. The network is Elite profits. I just got my first email cut and pasted below. You can contact Adam@eliteprofits.com. He called right after I put in my app. I think if you tell them you use ppc and are willing to spend money that would help. They are willing to match any other cpa offer. Good luck. Also join Commission Junction. They accept any one and do a search for leads. Plenty of leads there. Do a search for leads.
I was also accepted at a ringtone lead site without any problems.

Ofcourse , Commission Junction is not CPA , but it has got lots of Good CPA offers to promote .

And , the best thing about promoting CPA offers is that there are lots of CPA networks which enable you to diversify your offer .

Some of the best CPA networks are : Neverblueads , Azoogleads, etc.

In most cases it seems that talking to them on the phone and being genuine and honest with them is very important. I'm honest with them that I have a couple years of experience with Clickbank and CJ.com but am just starting with CPA networks that deal with cost per lead.

I always tell them that I'm doing PPC-Coach and working really hard to learn PPC, and that seems to show them that even though I'm not really experienced with their type of network, that I am serious about running offers and bringing in real traffic.

When I can't get them on the phone and I leave them a message they seem to reject me. That sucks for international affiliates because it's hard to call them when there's a big time difference.

capone2009 · 05-27-2009, 04:08 PM

when they ask you if you are working for other cpa networks, can they proof your answer or can i just fake some memberships i tell them?

thomas1857 · 05-28-2009, 06:07 PM

I applied for 7 networks. So far have been accepted by 3, rejected by 3, and waiting for the last verdict. I've read alot here, and grateful for all the good information. However, beating them to the punch, and calling them first is how I got accepted to the 3. I used a blog, which I have adsense, SEO articles, IM articles, and a few affiliate graphic buttons on. Still, one network turned me down, stating my site they didn't feel would be good. I emailed them, telling them I would be using PPC direct linking, so my site actually would not come into play, but they just said I could re-apply...

ManAbout · 05-28-2009, 06:49 PM

You forgot one common reason for rejection by CPA networks. They reject you simply because they can. I think some of these AMs get a little big headed and go on a power trip. I am from Canada, have had sites since 2004, established traffic, being doing adwords ppc since that time. But, it is not good enough for motive networks. I got accepted by Neverblue no problem. And the AM at Neverblue actually picked up the phone and called me to find out about my background. So, it very much depends on the network and the AM that you deal with. Some of them are on a power trip, no doubt about it.

Gooddeal86 · 05-29-2009, 12:17 AM

wow, i was rejected by motive networks too. then I tried approached brendan from motive himself, guess wat? had a little chat with him and approved, gotta respect the man brendan, he is nice and easy to approach and i'm being honest with him, I'm all new to cpa. did you try to approach them? AIM? Email? Call them?

Just my 0.02, the main reason most networks hate newbies is cause newbies keep bugging them on how to promote their offers. don't ask help from network on how to promote offers, it is our job, search the forum or google or anything to get all the infor on how to do cpa.

Fox30 · 05-29-2009, 12:43 AM

Here's my $0.02 on this topic...When you speak to a CPA manager or the person that is interviewing you...Speak to them with confidence, write down what you are going to say, and make sure you help them understand that you know EXACTLY what you are doing when it comes to driving high quality traffic...ie: setting up mini landing pages and using google adwords.

Good luck.

davesh · 05-29-2009, 10:41 AM

Hi all,

I am trying my level best to get approved by CPA Networks.

I was denied by Hydra, Moss Affiliate, Clickbooth, and lately by COPEAC.

As it is said by calling up this guys makes no sense.

I called up Hydra within 2 hours after i submitted my application but still they denied DONT HAVE ANY REASONS to say for DENIAL of my application, When I asked for, just a PLAIN EXCUSE.

I called up Clickbooth but was always was put up voice recorder and was never called back then my much effort got to IMs with Davin Archer she asked about how do i wish to promote their offers i said Running PPC campaigns but still got DENIED without any REASONS and received the email stating that you are free to apply again in Six Months.

Mr. P Moss - Moss Affiliate - whenever i called this peoples there voice recorder answered saying OUT OF SPACE. sent emails challenging the DENIAL of my application NO REPLY !!!

Very Frustrating....!!!

Am awaiting Uniqueleads.com result.

davesh · 05-29-2009, 10:45 AM

to add to above post i have my own website regarding ATKINS DIET running ADSENSE ads.

ATKINS Site : Atkins Diet Food List

and i am not using free email services to apply

SacredWealth · 05-29-2009, 11:01 AM

Try VCommission. I am using that currently. It has a lot of Free Gift Card give away offers.

unlanthony · 05-29-2009, 03:14 PM

Hey davesh,

i checked with uniqueleads, i spoke to the girl who approves new affiliates. She sent you an email requesting any other networks you may work with. Its even harder for affiliates to get accepted to a network that is out of the country. Unfortunately there is so much fraud going on almost every network right now are taking extra precautions.

due to fraud CPA networks are beconing firece towards affiliates , specailly those of from third world countries .

Hyaku_Man · 08-12-2009, 04:32 AM

More than expecting you drive lots of quality traffic, I think they're more concerned about preventing fraud. The networks deal with a lot of fraud, and as an international affiliate I've had to make sure they know I'm not a fraudster because there are lots of scammers in Russia and China signing up under American-sounding names etc.

The solution has been to send my application then call immediately after, so they don't have a chance to reject my application before talking to me. Some of them sound pretty surprised that I can actually speak English properly.

I definitely agree that they are more concerned about fraud , because lots of affiliates use unethical practices .

If they reject you don't think about your loss, think about theirs... How much money they could have made on you

Go for the next one, next one, and maybe try later. This is a game where you have to play hard.

Tonio Smith · 02-12-2010, 12:45 PM

Disc honesty and unprofessionalism are the biggest causes for being rejected from CPA networks not to mention the obvious which is no communication with the knotwork managers which all must go through in order to be accepted.

From a network perspective i can tell you - We want all of you! As long as you are not fraud affiliates. I wish we could make the process easier to apply but in fact most networks will become increasingly difficult to join this is the result of a war to keep fraud out of the networks.

When you apply for a network the best thing you can do hands down is call them after you sign up, and send a personal email to them. BTW if you can't find a phone number, or email address for that network don't bother working with them. When you speak with them you don't have to give away your secrets but be honest and tell them what forms of marketing you do. If you do PPC and email but you tell them all your traffic comes from your miniature poodle grooming blog they will most likely reject you. You don't have to even have a site to join many networks you just have to tell them how you market.

As a network we have to balance quality and quality so that we can continue to get top paying advertisers for our affiliates, just a few bad affiliates can bring down a offer, and ruin it for the networks and real affiliates - this is why we are so careful.

Brendan, it was really great to see your perspective, and I think the post was useful for many people who were actually prepared to pay people for getting into a network.
It is basically just like with any job interview, you have to be as professional as possible, isn't it?
Basically you trust your affiliates with managing your campaigns and your advertisers' trust is in you, which you don't want to lose. I know there are loads of people messing up the offers or being dishonest, so I do understand your point of view much better now.

top reasons - people look illegitimate, or do not call them up

So , it is always advisable that you look serious, legitimate and professional .
