Top Reasons for Rejection by CPA Networks

Besides that, I think we should have a "decent" website with professional looking design. You can always outsource it to graphic designer for about $100 or less.

Ok, so the first time I applied to Hydra Network, they rejected me, and I guess it was because I said I was new to affiliate marketing. I have experience now, but sometimes it never hurts if you fake it till you make it

Its easy to get accepted: pick up the phone and call.

It is weird.

I got 4 of them to accept me and 2 of them to decline me.

I said the same exact thing. Maybe those 2 people were having bad days?

please can some body help me with this . this cpa does it work like google adsense. where you sign up for it once and keep using the code in your other website or blog?. or do you have to be signing up for it each time you creat a new web site?.

i've read this many times and it makes perfect sense, but if one has never been affiliated with a network, how do they convince the interviewer that they know what they're talking about? i have not yet attempted to become approved by a network but if i did and were asked any technical questions, i would have no idea what to say. it wouldn't take a rocket scientist on the other end to realize that i had never done it b4.

Ok,

I read here all type of comments, but actually, this Hydra network has a big problem,

I called them, got a sleepy girl on the phone, asked me few questions,

-How you'll drive traffic?
my answer : through ppc
-How long have you been in aff. marketing?
-3 years?

-other networks you're working with?
CJ, Affiliate.com and Linkshare.

Then, she said something very quick, I didn't understand what she was saying, and she ended the call directly!!

I called again and another girl told me that I was rejected and have to wait 4 months to apply again!!!!!!!!!!!!


Any comments?

Acc to me, its lack of communication between you and the network.

iv'e found that is not really that hard to get accepted to the networks you should of course know as much as you can about the lingo of CPA marketing and To ge accepted quickly call them on the phone this shows them your not a scammer for themonst part..i've learned that telling them you will be sending PPc traffice straight to offers this gets you by No having a website, people do scam the networks thats the main reasons getting acepted is an issue in the first place

Its really very difficult for me too

Thanks for sharing great information

I am very new to IM and I recently decided to start a little CPA marketing. Every network I've applied to I've been accepted too.

I haven't experienced any problems. I haven't bothered to give them any web sites that generate traffic because I don't have any for any offers I'm looking at trying. The only domain I provided was the domain I use as the top level of my corporate structure, which by the way is a blank page! LOL I just give them that domain url and told them all that it's my corporate site and it's not used to market. Even the networks that took time to call me on the phone approved me with no problems or me making any traffic claims.

When I was asked how I plan to drive traffic I just told them:
Web 2.O
PPC
Oganic SE Results

Seriously no problems joining!

Why do you need to be a member of lots of affiliate networks? I'm a member of copeac, commission monster and clixgalore, and that is all I need.

It is not the affiliate network that makes you money, it is the traffic that you can send to offers. Concentrate on generating traffic, not being a member of every single affiliate network known to man.

Also if you spread out your earnings, it becomes harder to hit the earning threshold that will get you weekly payments...

I found a quality site, giving the impression you do mainly PPC, and readiness to call them helps a lot in getting accepted.

I have a big list of networks somewhere... I'll post it later.

I got rejected because I from a country they think many people try to fraud with them, how can I solve this problem?

I have never had any issues getting accepted by the CPA networks. Here is some advice:
Do not use a free email account like hotmail. Do you know of any serious business that uses Hotmail? I dont.
Get a website with a domain name. Make it look like you run an internet marketing company. Heck, even a simple 2 page website saying that you are experts in SEO, web promotion and advertising will work.

After applying, call them the next day and ask them about the status of your application. They will then ask you how you promote the offers and which offers you are interested in.

You can easily go with saying its by PPC, and tell them which types of offers you plan to run.

When they ask about your experience, you can say that you have around 2 yrs experience in IM.

When they ask which other networks you work with, you can name Clickbank, CJ, Linkshare, or any other network that auto approves everyone, even a bum on the street.

If they ask about your revenue, obviously dont say "Well... I ehhh... have $0.87 in my adsense account, I guess that counts, no?" Make something up, depending on how successful you think you will be. If you are just starting out and expect only a couple hundred dollars a month, you can say that you are doing this part time, and making about $1000 - $2000 a month, but are trying hard to make more money.

One other reason for rejection is if you are in a country that has a high amount of fraud... Nigeria, China, Indonesia, etc. In that case, you might be able to get a "virtual office" in the USA or another "western" country, complete with mail forwarding, a virtual phone number forwarded to your "real" phone, fax, voicemail, etc. It may cost you a couple dozen dollars a month, but if you always get declined because of your country, it could be worth it.

I have noticed a ton of posts about "how to get accepted into a CPA network" I even saw one that offers to pay people $100 if they get them accepted into a network. 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.

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!

great info

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?

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...

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.

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.

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.

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. :confused:

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.

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

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.

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