Having trouble getting accepted to CPA networks....

6 replies
Can someone tell me what kind of website they applied with?
I own a domain name linked to a wordpress blog about Real Estate Investing. I literally just created this site a few days ago, made 10 articles, and have been using it on my application to CPA networks. The site is: investing-smart DOT com
I have been rejected by 2 so far, and still waiting on the response of like 5 more.

Heres why Affiliate.com rejected me:
  • Inconsistencies in application information
  • Limited website traffic
  • Limited campaigns for your marketing program
  • Conflicting application information
  • History of improper affiliate practices
  • Business practices that are inconsistent with our Terms and Conditions
  • Inability to reach you by phone (or email for International Applicants)
  • Failure to reply to our phone (or email for International Applicants) correspondence with you, in the allotted 5-days

    OK the best for you to do is to have linkbuilding to your site. Or you can join sites that offers advertisers join here and put your website and see every day you could have unique visits per day.

    Hi,

    you can get approved with any decent site. Just be professional. here we go,


    Inconsistencies in application information
    do not tell a lie. Do not talk big numbers, Networks know if you are doing these kind of numbers already. You will be well known in the industry and networks, you will have references. They can cross verify it

    Limited website traffic
    you can always tell them traffic is coming from PPC e.g paid legitimate traffic. and always send legitimate traffice, No one pays for crap.

    Limited campaigns for your marketing program
    tell them you are doing PPC, so traffic to particular site does not really matter, oyu can bring traffic to any site.

    Conflicting application information
    it is because you are not consistent in filling the form, Be honest, do not give out big numbers. ensure that your domain is not private, do not use proxies while filling the for.



    History of improper affiliate practices
    you do not stand any case, they should not accept you.

    Business practices that are inconsistent with our Terms and Conditions

    For this you do not stand any case, they should not accept you

    Inability to reach you by phone (or email for International Applicants)
    If that happens you can always call them back, They are always keen to hear from you

    Failure to reply to our phone (or email for International Applicants) correspondence with you, in the allotted 5-days

    You can always call them back, They are always keen to hear from you


    Now in all probability you got a auto decline reply, Reason can be any one of above. your best bet is to locate any Affiliate Manger at CPA forums, Get in touch and call him/her, AMs are ready to help genuine candidates.

    Now, go and take action. If you can not get hold of a AM of a specific network and can not call them, i would suggest stay away from CPA, it is about building long term relationship with networks.

      I agree with what mentioned above .

      The point that must understand is that you are making too much mistakes, I advice you to first know how to properly apply to CPA networks before you start your application process .

      don't have your site full of affiliate links and as long as the design looks good and the content is good you should be good for the website part. For the application fill it out complete and don't make it look "shady". Go to Affiliate Networks | Unmastered Affiliate and there is a good list of affiliate networks and some advice on how to get accepted.

    The key that I have found for all of my approvals is that I show command of the conversaiton. Let me explain this is more detail. Most of the time you are speaking to an account exec, that does not know that much about internet marketing. They are looking for key terms of how you are going to promote their offers and not violate any terms of service.

    This is what I always say and I have not been turned down to date.

    The account exec will ask me how I will promote an offer.

    I say that I will look at the various offers and compare the EPC and the conversion rates. Once I select the offer I will conduct my keyword research to find the optimal keywords to drive traffic to the offer. I then setup a separate domain exclusively for the CPA offer that I chose. I then setup website hosting with that domain. 9 times out of 10 I have a basis landing page that is a direct link to the CPA offer. That is how I conduct most of my campaigns. At times if I find a successful keyword, I will invest in PPC advertising to drive even more traffic.

    NOTE: What I am showing them here is that I have a process in how I am going to promote their offers, they don't really care as long as you do it within their guidelines.

    A lot of the things on your list you need to take care of, like answering your phone and returning calls and such, that is just being professional. Conflicting information, I would guess you put one thing on the app and then say another on the phone. Be honest, don't lie, there are tons of CPA networks to join if you do get turned down, but don't ever lie.

    I would set up a basis website that does not show a lot of different techniques to use as your business. Make it look professional and not like an affiliate site. This will certainly show that you are series. Consider setting up a corporation or at least a DBA, so you can say you have a company. This just adds to your professionalism.

    Good luck to you.
