I created a "Iphone video review" blog yesterday,then I went to youtube to collect some videos about iphone and wrote some summary about these videos,I embedded a link to my cpa offer in between each video,and then I went to create a ad campaign with stumbleupon.But today stumbleupon declined my cpa ad,and they said:

"Landing pages that offer registration, referral, or sign-up as the primary action are historically poorly received in the StumbleUpon community. You might consider re-submitting a landing page that offers information rich, exploratory content, with the option to navigate over to user-registration pages. "

What's wrong with my method? I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

    The problem is, stumbleupon has tested this and have found that their users don't like this kind of ads so they stopped accepting CPA offers etc.

    Yes, this is where you'll have to be creative. I emailed them about this and they like landing pages that have funny stuff on it, or something with great tips. They hate sales vids.

    Someone on the WF has a WSO about stumble upon that was really good. Sorry, it slipped my mind Just search for it and you'll find it.

    Perhaps you should keep the ads in the sidebar. ie, not so obvious.

    Consumers are more impressed with content that teaches and offers the soft sell... They tend to be annoyed by content that is clearly designed to make the direct sale...

    you just have to make it look like a non affiliate offer and have content.

    Not saying you should do this... but I know "people" who make a page without any affiliate links in it that is just content rich... They then submit it to SU and get the campaign started... Then they add the offer to the page... According to these people, SU doesnt check the site again after the fact... CPA offers seem to work the best for these people. FYI.
