Hi All,
I am going crazy as I purchased an exact domain name EMD for one of the advertiser in Google Affiliate and I made sure the site is listed (wordpress with no contents yet)

I applied to join one of the advertiser in Google affiliate and I got declined

Can anyone please answer me as it doesn't make sense to buy the domain (2 years) build the contents and wait to be approved (may be yes/no)

so what is the sequence of steps !!!

very frustrating as you can not apply again, you can only send an email to the advertiser

    Did you use a trademark in the domain name? If so that is probably why you were declined. They usually let just about anyone in so my suspicion is that it is something about the actual domain name that caused them to reject you and not so much the content you had on there.

    yep, that is the reason why. You can't use trademarked names or company names in your domain name.

      ... unless you ask beforehand. Some companies grant the right to use their names in domains if the affiliate agrees to only use it to promote their program.

      On such company is for example Hostgator.com (not Google affiliate network). I wanted to promote their products and wanted to register a domain which included their name. So I wrote a friendly email and asked and they gave me permission.

      Then I registered the domain, built the content and started to promote it.

    You also were most likely rejected because you have no content. Think about it, if you were an advertiser, would you want to advertise on a blank page with a logo?

    Develop a website and drive traffic. You are thinking wrong. Dont think that you will build a site and no one will advertise. If you have traffic and good content, you will get plenty of opp. from other publishers.

      Regarding the good content, my content will be based on the company review so how can I use it in promoting other products

        If your website is for a specific product or service, you can use Adsense or other adnetwork and earn money that way.

    You can always use another site to get approved and then switch back to your main site with the trademark in the name once you get your affiliate link. . .

      I wouldn't recommend doing this. If they review your website and find that domain contains the trademark, you will most likely get banned.
